It’s so difficult to find a caring, personable and kind therapist and I’m so glad that I was matched with Jennifer. She’s amazing and I’ve seen great strides in my mental health since our sessions together began. Thank you!

More about Jennifer

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have lived in Nevada since 1996. I am aware of community resources. I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed in the State of Nevada. I have a bachelor's and masters in social work. I then completed my clinical internship working with children diagnosed with (SED) Severe Emotional Disturbance and their families and supportive team.

I have counseled children ages 4-18 and their families, attending interdisciplinary and team care coordination meetings. Issues included but were not limited to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, foster care/adoption.

I have worked with clients facing imminent immigration and deportation issues. My undergraduate internship was in hospice and a local community resource center.

I have worked with the senior and disabled population, providing active listening and resources and connections to supportive services in their communities.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is great

Dec 2023

Jen has been so wonderful, loving, understanding and supportive in our sessions thus far. She listens and cares. She is very helpful and gives homework that is helpful with the things that we talk about in sessions. She’s a wonderful human, I am very thankful for her

Nov 2023

As a first-timer in therapy, getting matched with Jennifer worked out well. She is so sweet and understanding, especially with the time difference. She always listens, remembers things I have said, and takes the time to message me and check how things are going. Even when we weren't supposed to meet, connecting with her and feeling comfortable was easy.

Jun 2023

Jennifer was my first therapist here and was super helpful, and patient, and easy to talk to! When I decided to try this 4 weeks ago, I was in a dark place, lost and confused, and needed some guidance to get me back on track to find my way through my grief. She helped me with many resources and advice on how to take things day by day and reminded me that there's nothing wrong with how I'm feeling. I'm very grateful for her time and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, sympathetic ear to talk to.

Mar 2023

You've helped me through so many changes in my life. From divorce, navigating new and family relationships, to a brand new role in my career. I will forever be grateful!

Dec 2022

It's still early, but Jennifer is as thoughtful and professional as I could expect.

Nov 2022

I have had difficulty finding a therapist I clicked with. Jennifer immediately felt like a safe place even on our first call. I can’t recommend her enough. I always feel so much better after our sessions. She validates feelings like no one I have ever worked with and has never made me feel guilty even when I tell her things I am not very proud of. 10/10. Thank you so much Jennifer!

P.A.·Jul 2022

Jennifer listens without judgement - supports, understands, and allows me to be open and honest.

E.B.·Nov 2021

I know I have only had one session so far, but I have never felt so comfortable with a person immediately. It is refreshing that I know she is only one message away

C.A.·Oct 2021

Jennifer has been incredible! She has given me so much great advice on how to handle my stress and anxiety. I'm seeing improvement already after a few sessions and excited for my next session. Highly recommend.

A..·Mar 2021

R.I.·Feb 2021
