More about Jacob

  • 7 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPCC

My name is Jacob Meddles. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio. I received my master degree in mental health counseling from the University of Cincinnati in 2016. I have 3 years experience working with clients mostly with depression, anxiety, and/or addiction issues.

My style of therapy is client centered. You have to live your life not me, so I want to help you make your own decisions not tell you what to do. I will help you set your own goals and try to give you the best tools to help you meet those goals. I will treat you with the respect and dignity that all people deserve no matter your situation.

Starting counseling is a big choice and most people can benefit from counseling from time to time. I would love to help you grow and meet your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is a great listener and gives very thought-provoking advice. He is perfect for someone who is in ministry and understands the difficulties that come with it. I wish I would have started talking to him earlier in my career.

Reviewed February 2022

Jacob is very helpful. The main concerns that I wanted to address in therapy are easier to handle now. I am better able to see my complicated family dynamics more fully and am finding some peace with it. I'm so glad I sought help to work through this. Jacob is supportive, validating and does a great job empowering clients to solve problems and build confidence. I highly recommend him!

He’s been great so far honestly. I still have a ways to go but he actually listens and talks to me just like a normal convo. He’s personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Reviewed November 2021

Jacob is a much-needed neutral, empathic, non-judgmental listener. I find that he reaffirms all of the things that are going right and has great suggestions for things that aren't going so well.

Reviewed August 2021

I appreciate that Jacob is so calm and focused on everything I say. It feels more like a friend who cares rather than a counselor who tells you what you should do. I also like that he sometimes laughs at my responses to his challenging questions. It really lightens my mood and helps me see that he is a real person and online counseling can achieve results.

Reviewed March 2021

I couldn’t be more thankful for being matched with Jacob. It took 3 matches prior to being linked with him and I’m so glad I stayed patient and trusted the process. There is a counselor for everyone, and if something feels off, don’t be afraid to try again to find one that suits you best!

Reviewed March 2021
