I am a therapist/counsellor with a background in crisis and clinical mental health. I have worked with couples and individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
I believe in treating anyone with respect, and meet/work with my clients where are. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, existential, and person-centered .
I look forward to working with 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.

Ms. Jacobs’s clear insight into my mind is incredible as this helps me understand myself. Thank you.
Doreen is exactly what I needed
Doreen is the best counsellor I have ever had and Better help runs an excellent service. Doreens approach is very effective and I leave the session positive and happy for the week ahead. I would recommend Doreen to anyone wishing to explore their issues and feel positive about themselves. Thanks Doreen for your excellent support.
Doreen is extremely insightful. She has a highly intelligent, responsive and balanced way of working through my problems with me, which I find trustworthy. She is really helping me at a time when I was beginning to wonder if anyone or anything could. I would definitely recommend working with Doreen. She’s great.
Doreen helped me a lot, at times when I couldn’t understand myself! I’m still learning but with the tools that I have learnt talking with Doreen in sessions has made me understand things better
I was very nervous about my very first therapy session because I don’t have really good experience/familiar with the process. However, Ms. Jacobs made me feel comfortable and was very positive.
