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.

Jen was my favorite therapist I’ve ever had, I unfortunately had to move out of state so we couldn’t keep having sessions. Jen saved my life, I was so depressed and in a point in my life where I was thinking about ending it when we met and started our sessions. She has helped me not only get out of a deep dark time, she helped me stand strong on my feet and believe in myself, have confidence and a voice. I’m sad to be parting ways with her but I will be taking the knowledge that I’ve learned for years to come. Thanks for everything jen ☺️

It is having someone shine a light in the darkness of your space and help you through it, not by doing the work but by guiding you to do it yourself.

Jennifer is a great listener, gives great advice and has knowledge in areas that help with my issues. 10/10 recommend!

Reviewed July 2024

I had never taken therapy prior to using the BetterHelp app. Jennifer was very patient with me. She listened and participated in our conversations. She never made me feel like I was being judged. She took the time to listen to everything I wanted to say and offered me advice I could understand. If I mentioned something in passing, she would always touch on that during our next session. I’ve been able to achieve all of my therapy goals with her assistance.

Jen is an amazing therapist. I've been to many over the years, and none have made me feel as comfortable to say however I feel and not feel judged. It feels like I've known her forever and everything she helps me with and exercises, worksheets, etc., are relevant to what I'm going through and things I need to work on. I can't recommend her enough, I'm so lucky I found her on here to help me with real life issues I'm having now as well as past stuff I need to work through. She's amazing!

I have only had 2 sessions with Jennifer but she has been great! She listens but also knows the right questions to ask to keep you thinking and exploring why you feel certain things. She also makes it light and fun when you are talking about hard things which makes it so much easier to talk about stuff!

Jennifer has been an amazing therapist. I’m currently on my third week and she has listened to every word I’ve said, asked pointed questions, given pointed answers, and has made my first therapist experience in many years very very good. Some people struggle to find a good therapist on the first try, but I got very lucky with Jennifer and I’d highly recommend her!
