Jyl is easy to talk with. She lets me ramble on. I needed a neutral space to share my life and she fits this need. I appreciate her kindness and patience. I’m “a lot” to most people and Jyl seems to be ok with me.

More about Jyl

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello. My name is Jyl Adams. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Idaho and Nevada. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Nevada, Reno and my Master of Social Work at Boise State University. I owned my own practice for eleven years working with individuals, couples, children and families focusing on issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting and family struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, as well as life changes.

I believe in a strengths-based approach utilizing cognitive behavioral and solution focused techniques. Making the choice to seek counseling is a difficult one and I am happy you have decided to reach out. The first order of business is for us to develop a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship so you feel confident to express yourself in a safe and supportive environment. I believe our work is based on a team approach where we work together to achieve your desired goals. Once we identify your desired goals I can provide tools to help you achieve those goals.

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.

Jyl is wonderful to work with. She is positive and encouraging, and I was impressed by how quickly I felt I could trust her and that she had a great understanding of what I was dealing with within just a couple of sessions.

I was skeptical of online counseling before I met Jyl. She changed my mind completely. I feel like she truly cares about my well being! She addresses every issue that arises with a non biased view and then gives me the tools I need to use to work on issues when they arise ! I am forever grateful for her in helping me during this difficult time of my life! She has me smiling at the end of every session even if the beginning I was in tears!! She helps me pick up and get out of my own head and helps me believe in myself and gives me the tools to grab life and make the best out of each and every day!

Jyl is amazing. You can tell she genuinely cares about people. I always feel better after we’ve talked and she’s also great at giving actionable feedback or things to think about/focus on during the week. To make actual, real changes in life, that’s the kind of approach I need. She is the best and I’d recommend BetterHelp based on her alone.

She's very kind & seems to really understand my issues & has great ways to help me with the things I'm wanting & needing addressed.

Jyl is absolutely incredible as a counselor. Despite my less than ideal situation and life choices, she has the extraordinary professional ability to see past preconceptions and see the root of my issue and be as supportive and constructive as possible. She will always point out victories that I have missed, and in the most supportive way possible, offer ways I can improve my situation and myself. Absolutely incredible.
