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.

Love her!
Can't ask for better
Jen was my favorite therapist I’ve ever had, I unfortunately had to move out of state so we couldn’t keep having sessions. Jen saved my life, I was so depressed and in a point in my life where I was thinking about ending it when we met and started our sessions. She has helped me not only get out of a deep dark time, she helped me stand strong on my feet and believe in myself, have confidence and a voice. I’m sad to be parting ways with her but I will be taking the knowledge that I’ve learned for years to come. Thanks for everything jen ☺️
It is having someone shine a light in the darkness of your space and help you through it, not by doing the work but by guiding you to do it yourself.
Jennifer is a great listener, gives great advice and has knowledge in areas that help with my issues. 10/10 recommend!
I had never taken therapy prior to using the BetterHelp app. Jennifer was very patient with me. She listened and participated in our conversations. She never made me feel like I was being judged. She took the time to listen to everything I wanted to say and offered me advice I could understand. If I mentioned something in passing, she would always touch on that during our next session. I’ve been able to achieve all of my therapy goals with her assistance.
Jennifer has helped me immensely in processing my traumas, dealing with the stresses of everyday life, adhd, and overall life in general!! Therapy truly does work wonders when you have an incredible therapist to guide you!!
Jennifer was a careful listener who supported me through transition and a stressful time.
Best therapist I have ever had!
Jen is an amazing therapist. I've been to many over the years, and none have made me feel as comfortable to say however I feel and not feel judged. It feels like I've known her forever and everything she helps me with and exercises, worksheets, etc., are relevant to what I'm going through and things I need to work on. I can't recommend her enough, I'm so lucky I found her on here to help me with real life issues I'm having now as well as past stuff I need to work through. She's amazing!
I have only had 2 sessions with Jennifer but she has been great! She listens but also knows the right questions to ask to keep you thinking and exploring why you feel certain things. She also makes it light and fun when you are talking about hard things which makes it so much easier to talk about stuff!
She is the best therapist I’ve ever had
Jen is always there for me. I truly appreciate her down to earth personality. She's relatable and fun, and I feel like we always have good sessions.
Jennifer is great! I have seen a significant improvement in my life and relationships since I have started talking with her. Highly recommend!
Jen is very skilled and qualified for my specific needs
Jennifer truly listens and understands the complex issues I am working through and gives me the building blocks I need to address each issue and slowly overcome them. She has been patient and kind - and finds a way to bring light to the end of every session. She’s truly a great therapist.
Jen has been really incredible and supportive in the couple weeks we have been talking. Her communication style really suits me and I feel as though she challenges me but also comforts and validates me when I need it. She is truly wonderful!
Jennifer has been an amazing therapist. I’m currently on my third week and she has listened to every word I’ve said, asked pointed questions, given pointed answers, and has made my first therapist experience in many years very very good. Some people struggle to find a good therapist on the first try, but I got very lucky with Jennifer and I’d highly recommend her!
Jennifer is awesome! She's a great listener and always has different suggestions for coping and learning. She asks questions that help drive the conversation, and make you think about the topic from different perspectives. She's incredibly understanding, and relatable. Jen makes you feel safe and cared for. She is professional and still down to earth. I truly enjoy our sessions. Thank you, Jen!
Jennifer is all for helping and offering tools for me to utilize on my day to day. Great listener.
She’s been extremely kind and helpful already giving me hope that this process will get me to a better place
I absolutely love how welcoming and easy going she has been since the first session. Made me feel right at home. First time trying therapy and blessed to have such a perfect match!
Jennifer has definitely been helpful to me in many ways. I’ve realized a lot of things from our sessions. And it’s only been three weeks. I highly recommend her.
