Hi!
My name is Jamell Jacobs. I am a licensed professional counselor and nationally certified counselor. I am passionate about helping people become their best version of themselves in life. My belief is that reaching our fullest potential is a process that we work at daily, and I enjoy being a supportive partner in my clients' journey. My clinical experience has primarily been focused on individuals and families struggling with anxiety, anger management, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, occupational stress, parenting, relationship problems, and addiction recovery. I use a holistic approach focusing on developing a healthy mind, body, and spirit, using primarily cognitive-behavioral therapeutic techniques.
I look forward to working with you in your journey to achieving your goals and a better quality of life!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

the absolute BEST!!!!
Always a professional, but Jamell is just a wonderfully human professional. I enjoy our sessions, and believe she invests herself fully into her patients
My therapist, Jamell, is someone I look forward to talking with because she is relatable, down to earth, has a sense of humor, and knows how to break things down to make me think about them. She always ends our sessions with a good pep talk and I gain something every time. She is wonderful!
Jamell is quick to notice behavioral patterns, and after 6 months she has started to anticipate roadblocks in my mental health or thought processes that may get in the way of my success to help me prepare for them. This is hugely helpful; I look forward to our appointments because I know I will leave our sessions with a sense of purpose and direction.
Jamell has been a saving grace in my personal journey. I came to BetterHelp with past family trauma, single motherhood, and the desire to work on my tendency to people please. Jamell listens diligently with empathy and compassion, provides validation as well as helping to build tools and mindsets to overcome obstacles, and encourages me to look further inward and reflect on myself. She is extremely supportive while also challenging me to be the best version of myself. I consider myself lucky to have her as a counselor, and am thankful for all the guidance she has provided.
Jamell has been wonderful. She actively listens and provides a clear path for me to reach therapy goals. Very understanding, patient and responsive!
