I am licensed in Massachusetts with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, family conflicts, parenting issues, self esteem , and anger management to name a few. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I also have experience working with those who are incarcerated along with their loved ones. If you have someone that you care about that is incarcerated, I would like to speak with you. I know that this is a difficult situation for those incarcerated as well as their loved ones in the community.

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.

You are friendly and funny, apart from your expertise. That adds value that a lot of other therapists don't. So wanted to point that out.
Jocelyn has been a pillar during this tough time! I appreciate her so much
She is great.
Jocelyn is smart kind caring and compassionate. She directs me and is genuinely concerned for my safety and mental wellbeing. A blessing!
She is a breath of fresh air to me, as I am someone who has not had the best luck with therapists. Jocelyn is extraordinarily attentive to the concerns facing you. She is a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. Even when she let me know she’d have to attend her next meeting soon, she still makes sure that you and her finish the train of thought you’re currently on. There is nothing more comforting than having a therapist who you can tell enjoys her profession. A therapist should be more than someone to talk to. More importantly, a person who is able to understand you and guide you towards the right direction of self-betterment. This can be found in Jocelyn’s caring approach. Moving forward with my future sessions, I feel very confident in Jocelyn’s continued support when it comes to dealing with what life tends to throw my way.
