More about Jeffrey
- 6 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience in the field of mental health. After a 7 year stint working for the United States Postal Service, I decided to go back to school to help people with their problems. I have an Associate of Science degree from Brazosport College. I have an Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Columbia College. I have my Master of Education degree in Counseling, a Graduate Certificate in College Student Mental Health, and my Education Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a school psychological examiner and a Kindergarten through 12th grade School Counselor. I completed all my provisional license hours at Lincoln University in their counseling center providing pro bono counseling to the community and college students.
My counseling style is warm and receptive, I feel establishing the client/counselor relationship is paramount to success during the therapeutic process. I feel we are all unique individuals and counseling must be tailored to each specific client. I am well experienced in career counseling and traditional counseling using mindfulness based-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use an integrated approach to find out what will work best with each client I am working with. There are many stigmas associated with seeing a counselor, one of the most harmful being that someone who seeks help is weak, it is my goal to shatter that stereotype and help my clients find their path in life that they can accomplish all they wish to and more.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
