More about Joeli
- 31 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Connecticut with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & managing life transitions and challenges. I also have experience working with depression, relationship concerns and personality disorder characteristics. I have recently started here on BetterHelp full-time, to pursue my original career dream to help others, individually, one client at a time. This comes after many years working in both inpatient and outpatient hospital and varied community settings, with diverse populations, serving in management and supervisory roles while always keeping my hand in clinical care provision -including during the pandemic.
I believe that you are the expert of your story "the Narrator"--and I would be honored to help you as you narrate and navigate your life story. I operate from the perspective that you have many strengths and solutions within you that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Lastly, I subscribe to the notion that with my active listening and sensitivity to the topics you bring to therapy, in a completely judgement-free zone, with some reframing, feedback, gentle suggestions and sense of humor when needed, together we can create a trusting working alliance that may assist you in your therapeutic journey! Thank you for taking the time to review my information.
Warm Regards,
Joeli

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.

Amazing therapist! Really good at her job
Joeli is a competent and professional therapist who listens intently during sessions and offers valuable insight to help you work through whatever you might have going on.
Joeli has really helped me sift through my thoughts and narrow in on how to move forward with some tough conversations i needed to have in my life.
She’s such a great listener, she’s real with me about what I can work on, and she’s experienced. She’s so respectful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. So glad to talk with her.
Joeli is very professional and easy to talk to. She's always an attentive listener and offers constructive ways on how best to deal with the issues we discuss. She's also very patient when it comes to working out scheduling sessions and works with me to find the time to fit sessions into my weekly schedule. Id recommend her to anyone looking for a good therapist.
Joeli is so easy to talk to, so it makes what I thought would be a really awkward experience, quite enjoyable.
She’s wonderful and I admire her for taking me on!

Joeli has helped kickstart my healing journey.
Joeli has been very supportive and gave me great feedback and ideas. Thank you!
I’ve had a couple of chat sessions with her & it’s gone very well. This a very positive experience for me. She’s very respectful, she’s attentive, very helpful, very professional, she’s great :).
Joeli is a great therapist. It was clear from our first session that she is very compassionate and professional. I never feel "unheard". She goes the extra mile to make the therapy experience as productive as possible based on my needs as a client.
Joeli is an absolute pleasure! She is professional, she is attentive, and she listens, as well as gives positive input. I would highly recommend for someone that is looking to get into therapy.
Very helpful, goes out of her way to try to help me.
Joeli is kind, compassionate and incredibly insightful. I recommend her to anyone
I feel heard. I feel informed. I feel better about myself. I feel like I am making positive change. I feel supported when I need it and confident it will be there. I’m really thankful for this opportunity to have Joeli help me continue to understand and work together on making sure I have a greater chance at living my best life.
I have had two sessions so far with Joeli and it has been going well. I'm a lifelong patient at various stages and have been accustomed to the specific thing I need help on so I'm already quite versed with. I needed affirmations initially and she helped with that.
Joeli actually cares. She is attentive, empathetic, validating, supportive, and calm. She guides the patient through their thoughts and actively listens. I’m very happy as I have been trying to find the right fit for me for years now with other therapists. I think I’ve finally found “the one”.
Joeli has been super helpful and was able to get me to me focus on the right things to help move past some difficulties.
Joeli has been great so far! She has been helping me sift through mental blocks and other life situations that have been holding me back!
Joel has really helped me and I am so grateful to her!
