Hello, my name is Jennifer Dorado and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with over 17 years of experience working with the community as a counselor. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. I've worked with clients on issues such as: anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, substance use, self-esteem, co-dependency, interpersonal conflicts and family conflict, among others. My approach to therapy is one in which I come along side a client to support them in achieving their personal goals and to help them work through the difficult times in life. Conflict with others or painful situations can make us feel depressed, anxious, emotionally drained, and confused about how to move forward. The great news is that by taking the courageous action of working on yourself, you can get through the difficult times, experience emotional healing and continue life with more well-being and hope. My therapeutic style is compassionate, client-centered, and solution-focused. I work with clients at their own pace and my therapeutic work focuses on helping a client identify the source of the problem, find their personal strengths, and use the therapeutic tools which will help empower them to attain their goals. I am here to support you and 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.

Jennifer has been a God send to me. She has helped me grow in my understanding of many my own feelings and actions and has helped me overcome a lot of insecurities!
I appreciate Jennifer’s expertise and quality work during her therapy sessions
Jennifer is a very good listener and shows empathy and insightful concepts to support healing and mental stability.
I appreciate Jennifer's professional perspective and in particular her ability to bring me back to what I can do both in the short and long-term durations (in parallel to my personal growth). She also follows-up with a resource post session that accompanies the concepts that she shares. This allows me to reflect effectively before our next session.
She is so amazing!! Very compassionate and there is no awkward silence - she is very good listener and makes me want to try new ideas. I absolutely love her.
I have only been in therapy for one week and have already experienced transformational change. I am so happy that I was paired with Jennifer!❤️
Jennifer really listens and understands. She is compassionate, and knows how to get through to me in a positive and encouraging way.
Mental therapy is baby steps to improvement. I feel using BetterHelp and the tools along with someone that listens to me without judgement is key to getting mentally fit
I've gone through a couple of different therapists in my life, and Jennifer has dug deeper than any other therapist. It's been a tremendous help in realizing some internal issues and has helped in many different areas of my life. I would recommend her to anyone. She's also really responsive and replies even if you're just submitting a journal entry to let her know what's been on your mind. Really, really helpful in moments of anxiousness and overthinking. She has a way of calming your brain down instantly.
Jennifer is helpful and encouraging. She really listens and offers great advice. Thank you for your help.
Jennifer is the best!
I am so happy to be back and working with Jennifer
She is the best therapist!
I look forward to meeting with Jennifer. It is so hard to find a great match but this was absolutely effortless. She is always very present in the moment and has given me true kindness and support. She recalls things I have shared and gives me great perspective.
Really helpful and understanding. Really listens and takes the time to understand what you want or looking for.
Absolutely the best. I am grateful to work with her.
Jennifer is very kind and a caring person. She is very knowledgeable in her profession. I have learned many ways to deal with my situation that has helped me lessen my depression and anxiety, frustration and patience. Thank You Jennifer.
During the past month I have witnessed much improvement- although I feel I personally have much more to cover - it is still a nice feeling knowing things are progressing and that I’m in a safe environment and feel understood. I’m looking forward to continuing sessions with Jennifer and digging and diving deeper.
Always a pleasure to talk with. Always accommodating. Always resourceful **
Insightful. I appreciate all of her feedback
Jennifer is the greatest listener and has insights which have proven very helpful as I get past this bump in the road.
I haven’t had many sessions with Jennifer but for the times that I did she has been attentive and great.
Jennifer is a breath of fresh air. She listens to understand, not to respond. She always helps me see the other side of a situation and helps me work through my childhood trauma areas. I highly recommend Jennifer!
I think she is great and have already recommended her to my son and brother
Would recommend Jennifer as a great therapist in Betterhelp
An incredibly helpful person. She shows she cares on an individual level, listens, and always provides helpful feedback. I feel confident that through my time with Jennifer, I will find the tools for building a better me. She has helped me feel hopeful for the future, and I am incredibly grateful for that.
Jennifer is amazing. Very caring, listens attentively, is able to identify what is going on quickly and always has helpful solutions to tackle daily issues. She responds quickly to messages and is very flexible in terms of times and days for sessions. She has been such a great help to me and I will continue to schedule sessions with her. Thanks so much for everything Jennifer!
Jennifer is amazing at what she does! She truly cares and has changed my life for the better!
I am blessed to have Jennifer as my therapist
She is very smart and attentive to what I have to say. She also provides with multiple alternatives to help me out.
Jennifer has been extremely helpful. I look forward to speaking with her weekly
I feel so comfortable with Jennifer. I feel like I can tell.her anything and she is focused on helping me figure things out, instead of trying to tell me what is right or wrong. I feel she respects my individuality and my perspective on things. Our sessions help me keep accountable and self disciplined
She’s great
Jennifer is incredible! She knows exactly what to say to affirm your feeling and make you feel seen. She also lets each session come from the heart which has really helped me understand my anxiety . She’s also helped unpack lots of the emotions that is been holding on to for years.
Jennifer has made an enormous impact on my life for the better. She helped me to learn how to be confident in my decisions and my beliefs. I can't thank her enough for that. Her perspective let me see things in a way I truly haven’t before and it helped me to grow as a person.
She listens very much and is engaged in the conversation. She asks questions that makes you think a lot and gives you new perspective on situations. I definitely recommend her to anybody that's looking for something new and fresh.
She listens to me and definitely understands what I have to say even when I feel like no one else will
Jennifer Dorado has been extremely helpful for me. She listens to me and helps me process my thoughts and feelings. Each of our sessions are based off what i want to talk through that day. She’s amazing!
Very happy with therapy.
Jennifer is simply amazing. She listens deeply yet isn't afraid to interact with me. She isn't sitting there letting me drone on like other therapists have in the past. I view her as my friend and ally and feel fortunate to have been assigned her.
I am grateful to have Jennifer as my therapist. She understands me and helps me with my thoughts and feelings. I would recommend her to my family and friends
Amazing
I’m very grateful to Jennifer for all she’s been able to help me through. I didn’t truly understand the value of therapy until working with her.
Jennifer is very understanding, listens and always has good feedback and advice. She is helping tremendously
Jennifer is a very caring therapist who truly listened to me. I strongly recommend her.
Jennifer is a true professional, and she has genuine care and concern for others. Her insight has helped me to create a plan, which will serve me well as I move forward in my dating life. Before meeting Jennifer, I was a bit nervous about seeing a therapist because I didn’t know what to expect in our first session. But, after my initial meeting with Jennifer, I felt so empowered and reenergized to create a plan to move forward in having a healthy and l relationship with the next guy I date. I have a new sense of clarity and perspective when it comes knowing what I want and also knowing what I don’t want when it comes to dating. I am super happy with the service from Better help; but most importantly, I am highly satisfied with the sessions I’ve had with Jennifer so far. I would highly recommend her to everyone out there looking for a therapist who is knowledgeable, caring, empathetic, loyal, and patient. She is also a world-class communicator. ❤️
Jennifer was absolutely amazing. I came into therapy with a specific problem, and she helped me work through it and gave me specific tools to improve my mental health. She was friendly, professional, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone looking into therapy.
I am glad that of all the people I could have been paired with I was lucky enough to get Jennifer. She has been nothing short of fantastic. She listens intently and provides great insight into whatever issue we may be discussing during our session.
She’s been a tremendous help for me.
Jennifer is amazing to work with. She listens, guides & helps me work though it all. I’m so thrilled with the progress I’ve made. I’m beyond grateful.
I am truly blessed to have Jennifer as my therapist. I’ve gone therapy before and I am getting more insights and support from her than anyone Ive had as a counselor. She is knowledgeable and professional. She supports me and listens to me. Her insights are truly helpful. Thank you Jennifer!
I love her
Jennifer has been a godsend. She is very flexible with my schedule and needs, she responds in a very timely manner and really cares about the situation at hand. Would highly recommend.
I love her!!! She is so kind and insightful. She made me feel welcome right off the bat and I greatly appreciate that.
Jennifer makes me feel seen and heard, and has really helped with my anxiety.
She is kind with her words and she is a very good listener.
Jennifer is super kind and helpful in guiding me to work through my anxiety issuess!
There aren’t enough words I can type to explain the difference, in such a short amount of time, that Jennifer has made on my life. She understands me. She guides me. She helps me process feelings and thoughts, not only of my own but of others so I know how to better interact with them. I can’t thank God enough for placing her in my life.
In only the first session, I had such a great experience with Jennifer! I loved how she brought a faith based approach to the therapy session, and tied a lot of the things we talked about back to faith in God. She held space for me to talk and tell my stories, which often led me to my own realizations or connected dots I wouldn't have realized otherwise. She also gave me lots of positive affirmations when I shared things I am hard on myself about, and listened to my goals and dreams which meant a lot. I felt really safe and trust her a lot with sharing my mind, and am very excited for our future sessions and to overcome my mental blocks!
Very helpful!
Jennifer was extremely kind and caring and really help me navigate through a huge life transition. She addressed every concern I had and helped me with understanding of emotions and life tools to help me in difficult situations. Her unbiased support really helped. I’m glad we connected with each other!
In the short time that I’ve spent with Ms Dorado she’s begun to help me tackle my issues and helping me understand myself better.
