More about Jonetta

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in meeting clients on a level playing field as each client has a unique and personal understanding of themselves and is an expert in their own lives. I look to my clients to educate me on what is important to them and how we might best work together to reach a positive outcome. My fundamental belief is that most people are doing the best they can at any given point in their life and there are straight forward reasons for doing what they choose to do. I don’t get bogged down in talking about good or bad, right or wrong, or he said she said but rather what are more effective choices in creating a life worth living. I am extensively trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is the number one therapeutic modality in the world bar none and was developed by Dr. Aaron Beck. I had the good fortune to receive 160 hours of advanced training by the Beck Institute. I also am certified (C-DBT) in Dialectical Behavior Therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan where the focus is on making decisions about what will work effectively for you and what is not effectively. Information on both CBT and DBT are available online to help you make an informed decision on how best to move forward in your goals and in your life.

About online counseling

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.

Ms. Jonetta is such a genuinely kind person. She's insightful and supportive without coddling you. She's also very professional and values and respects the time you have with her. I've been seeing her weekly for a few weeks and she's helped me understand things about myself that I was more or less blind to. Highly recommend.

Jonetta is a perfect therapist fit for me - listens unassumingly, explains things well, gives the why, refers to evidence (which my researcher heart loves), and is fun to talk to (yes I said fun). I really look forward to our sessions!

Jonetta takes a beautiful approach in our sessions, tying together her knowledge in geology and animal behavior. She shared experiences and asks detailed questions to make me dive deeper in my feelings. She challenges some thoughts, to find the root cause of my anxiety, depression, and attachments. She shares helpful resources to explore throughout the week, and prepares for our sessions by reading my messages. I’m thankful to have such a thoughtful therapist through better help.

Jonetta has been extremely insightful in helping me identify the source of my depression. She is also very kind.

Reviewed September 2023

At first I was skeptical, I find it hard to open up completely to people who are far up in years than me. I view them as traditional and often close minded but Jonetta is the total opposite. It was so easy for me to open up to her and get the feeling of not being judge. I can feel her sincerity, I can feel the genuine understanding from her. I found comfort and the help I need from her. I have never connected to someone as fast as I did with her. I would definitely recommend her.
