I have had nothing but a validating & encouraging experience with Jacquelyn! She helped me learn healthy coping mechanisms for my ADD/ADHD, helped me set healthy boundaries with narcissistic family members, & helped me work through some of my trauma/spiraling negative thoughts with helpful tools that I can continue to keep in practice!

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.

She was amazing! I highly recommend her!!! 10/10!
She's very understanding and patient. She also works with you and helps a lot with managing anxiety!
Jacquelyn has been very good for me. I have never had professional sessions prior and she made me feel very comfortable, she listens and responds appropriately.
My therapist is very positive, upbeat and energetic person. She takes her time and helps understand the real reason behind current issues and problems that I am facing to help uncover patterns. She helps me overcome them with tools, new perspective, actionable steps and “homework”. I really enjoy speaking with her and have a calm sense of mind after my sessions.
