More about Joeli

  • 31 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Connecticut with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & managing life transitions and challenges. I also have experience working with depression, relationship concerns and personality disorder characteristics. I have recently started here on BetterHelp full-time, to pursue my original career dream to help others, individually, one client at a time. This comes after many years working in both inpatient and outpatient hospital and varied community settings, with diverse populations, serving in management and supervisory roles while always keeping my hand in clinical care provision -including during the pandemic.

I believe that you are the expert of your story "the Narrator"--and I would be honored to help you as you narrate and navigate your life story. I operate from the perspective that you have many strengths and solutions within you that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Lastly, I subscribe to the notion that with my active listening and sensitivity to the topics you bring to therapy, in a completely judgement-free zone, with some reframing, feedback, gentle suggestions and sense of humor when needed, together we can create a trusting working alliance that may assist you in your therapeutic journey! Thank you for taking the time to review my information.

Warm Regards,

Joeli

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.

I have had two sessions so far with Joeli and it has been going well. I'm a lifelong patient at various stages and have been accustomed to the specific thing I need help on so I'm already quite versed with. I needed affirmations initially and she helped with that.
