I have never leaped and sought out a therapist. In the two sessions, Jennifer has given me tools, emotional support, and a strong will to get my life back and experience grace.
More about Jennifer

- LPC
I have practiced as a counselor in Southeast Missouri for 18 years, working initially as an crisis counselor and then in an outpatient setting and I am also an Instructor of Psychology. I also previously worked as a therapist in a residential treatment center for children and teens. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens, and adults. Most recently I have provided individual, couple and family counseling in the home. Together we have addressed concerns regarding relationship issues, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, loss, as well as parenting problems and family conflict. As a college instructor I also interact frequently with young adults and have served to counsel individuals through various transitions.
My counseling style is client-centered as I believe in the power of each individual to grow with the right help and support. I draw from a Christian faith foundation and aim to facilitate insight and hope, highlighting one's strengths and positive steps toward change...change in thoughts and change in behaviors. The relationship developed with a person is a gift and can serve as a spring board for a solution-focused plan for change and improvement in emotional state and motivation. The various ways that we can achieve this together include cognitive-behavioral exercises, mindfulness and relaxation exercises, and narrative activities. Drawing from the Humanistic perspective, I believe that every person deserves a safe space where they can be heard without judgment and aim to work collaboratively with each client to develop treatment goals that will move them to reaching their full potential. I believe in your unique strengths and I will work alongside you to establish a plan and facilitate growth.
If you have read this, you have already taken an important, courageous step toward improving your mental and emotional state. I would be happy to help you take those next steps. I look forward to getting to know you on this journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Jennifer actually listens to her patients and helps them to understand what’s wrong and how they can solve it. I appreciate her so much!
Jennifer is such a kind, thoughtful person! She has really helped a lot already!
I am transitioning into my fourth month while using this app and being paired with Jennifer. Progress is made weekly. I wanted tools as part of my experience with the betterhelp app. Jennifer is always giving me tools and questions to ask myself with situations or etc. Even if the conversation is difficult on my end. Jennifer is wonderful at listening and providing productive feedback and resources everytime. I'm very grateful to have been paired with her and to have therapy through the Betterhelp up.
Miss Jennifer has been absolutely amazing! I was in a pretty dark place when I started talking to her but after my first appointment with her I already felt hopeful about moving forward she’s helped me so much. It’s been a couple of months now and she’s helped me learn to trust myself and set boundaries with people without feeling guilty. She’s helped me develop a more positive attitude and thought process to help me handle difficult situations. I can’t say it enough but Thank you for everything Miss Jennifer!
Thank you!
This was my first time meeting with a therapist. I was nervous but Jennifer made me feel comfortable right away. She was attentive to my thoughts and concerns. She provided great resources that have been very helpful.
My appointment was for November 1 at 8:30 am by phone no one never called me that was suppose to be my first appointment I don't know what to do now
Reconnected with Jennifer after 8 months and find her just as supportive and wise as ever. Thank you Jennifer
Jennifer is very empathetic and understanding and I appreciate the way she makes me feel like she’s listening to me without judgement.
Jennifer appears very empathetic which is something I need at the moment.
Uma perfeita terapeuta.
I have really enjoyed my time with Mrs.Gadberry. She listens and doesn't judge. She offers clear and helpful advice that I have put into practice in my daily life. I am so appreciative of her help.
She is amazing nice and understanding
Jennifer is amazing. She is literally a God-send. She helps me get a better understanding of why but also how to fix it. Her knowledge of faith has helped me tremendously. I love that she brings it all back to God. That has been a huge help to me.
I’ve been working with Jennifer for a few weeks now. She always makes me feel heard and always responds to messages fast. She genuinely makes me feel like she’s here for me.
I have had 2 sessions with Jennifer she has listened to my concerns and offered helpful advice and support.
Very kind and supportive.
Jennifer is flat out amazing. She’s understanding but knows when to challenge me. She’s great.
I have spoken with Jennifer regularly for about 4 months now. She has been constantly helpful, wise and discerning. I have progressed so much since the beginning of my counselling, and have more coping strategies to combat the anxiety and depression I have been experiencing. I couldn’t ask for more in a counsellor.
Jennifer is an excellent counselor. She is discerning, empathetic, wise, and committed to working with me toward healing and growth. I highly recommend her.
Jennifer has patience and listens . She understands and has empathy. At present I just have 3 weeks experience with her , but I feel comfortable. I would love to have her as my therapist in future scenarios.
During our first initial conversion, I felt that I had a supportive person on the other end listening and offering good advice to calm my fears. Having that Christian connection is so important to me as well.
Jennifer has been an insightful listener as I try to understand why I am struggling so much justnow. She had helped me explore why this could be in a way I wouldn't manage alone. I trust her, her skills in counselling are very evident. I'm grateful to be matched with her and would highly recommend her as safe hands in troubled times.
Very nice and understanding counsellor! She helped me through a tough time and had very helpful advice for me. I will choose her again if I am in need of a counsellor again.
An amazing counsellor so far. Timely responses and listens to my concerns. Thank you for your help!!
