Jenn has been amazing from day 1 and I am lucky to have her as my therapist. She is extremely empathic and caring and has been a lifeline when I've needed it. Even when she is busy she will take time to respond and let me know I've been heard and my feelings are Valid. She offers amazing insights and is supportive but she will also tell me things I don't necessarily want to hear, if that's what she thinks is best for me. She does it respectfully and gently, it's greatly appreciated. I have nothing but good things to say!

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.

We have a great rapport. Jen is a good listener who meets you where you are at.
The sign of a great therapist is really wanting to open up to them, and Jennifer definitely brings that out in me. She's a great questioner/listener who's made me look forward to doing the work of therapy. Betterhelp is right!
Jennifer is a professional, engaging and caring therapist. Jennifer has helped me immensely and I’m in a much happier and better place in life thanks to her help.
Love her
Jennifer has helped me so much! I had never seen a therapist or been to therapy prior to joining BetterHelp. Jennifer made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning, and she has given me so many tools to better cope with my day to day life and my emotions. I really enjoy working with her!
If you need to be completely comfortable being consciously and compassionately listened to and need to have consider and copious encouragement and expert advise mixed with pleasant personality and humor- Jennifer is your therapist!
Jennifer is a completely amazing professional. Supportive, personable, unjudgmental, provides clear, do-able strategies to deconstruct a problem and help work towards solutions.
Very good at listening and I’ve found her insights very helpful
Jennifer has an easy, natural ability to connect with me as a client and make me feel comfortable working with her. Her approach to therapy really resonates with me personally. I also appreciate the tangible strategies and takeaways she provides.
Jennifer has been great. I immediately felt comfortable with her, and she gained my confidence VERY quickly. I feel lucky to have found her.
I've only been working with Jennifer for roughly 2 weeks. But since we started communicating, she's been extremely effective in helping me deal with all of my problems. I am a very skeptical person when it comes to any service done online, but I truly am glad that I started betterhelp and got the chance to meet and talk with Jennifer. I cannot recommend her enough.
