Janet Jacobs is a skilled, experienced and receptive clinician. She is also culturally sensitive. She provides careful listening in combination with effective interventions. I've never had a therapist combine inner child work and mindfulness so powerfully. feel very supported by Janet even when I can't come to session as my best self. I feel like she understands that who I am in session, while working on my 'stuff' isn't how I necessarily walk around in the world. I feel like she sees me clearly and I love our sessions.

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.

Janet Jacobs is the real deal. She knows how to access the core issues within her clients and then compassionately finds a way to draw out the obstacles that are impeding the patient’s ability to improve their life. I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Jacobs because she has helped me immensely, and I know that our continued journey together will only improve my outlook, self-esteem, and my ability to move forward in life to achieve the goals I originally wanted.
