JD is awesome! It's been a year of quality support!

Reviewed January 2024

JD has been great so far. He's been instrumental in helping me sort out some complex issues into more manageable pieces. During our sessions the conversation isn't forced or awkward, and I find myself making insights with his prompts I'm not able to do alone.

More about JD

  • 17 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC, LMHC

I have 17+ years of experience working in outpatient, inpatient, clinical review of care, crisis services, and recovery-oriented settings. I have published within the areas of addiction, evidence-based treatment, client-centered therapy, and survivor guilt. I maintain a private practice and work in the addiction recovery community. I completed my clinical training at Nova Southeastern University. I went on to do additional doctoral training in conflict analysis and resolution before completing a doctoral degree in addiction psychology. I use the combined knowledge to enrich the services that I provide.

I have completed training in motivational interviewing/motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioral therapy, guided self-change, solution-focused, exposure therapy, meditation, performance coaching, and client-centered techniques. I integrate these approaches into a tailored and individualized approach to work to find what best works for you in therapy.

I look forward to supporting you to find what best works for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I was matched perfectly with JD at a time when I really needed someone to help me process a break up and other things I was struggling with in my communication style. He’s greatly helped me with achieving new communication goals, boundaries being set with others and also becoming more comfortable with letting go of past relationships while accepting my journey and where I am in my life. He’s been extremely good with checking in during weeks when I’ve been busy and is schedule has been very easy to work along with mine.

JD has been great. Listens, asks questions to make me think about my actions. I feel a difference already and it’s been two weeks. I have been feeling a better grip of my emotions and anxiety. If I have any questions, he’ll respond fairly quickly.

It's been extremely comfortable talking to JD. One thing I appreciate is that when I discuss my potential actions or options, the solutions offered and discussed don't ever feel earth-shattering. It's not always stated, but it is implied that it will be ok. It's assuring to have a professional tell me that.
