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.

Excellent counselor and person too
Outstanding counselor!
Jennifer is knowledgable, caring, and highly emotionally intelligent. She's one of the best therapists I've worked with, and I'm grateful for her specialized expertise in EMDR!
Excellent counselor
Jennifer is very knowledgeable, personable, and insightful in dealing with my panic and anxiety. She has been incredibly helpful in moving me forward and providing tools that I can use when struggling. I highly recommend her!
Jennifer is outstanding counselor!
She has been the only counselor to understand my needs and help me find solutions to my problems
I truly am blessed and greatful for Jenn, I use to see when years ago, she was so good and her advice stuck that I researched her and found her here. She listens and is amazing
I started therapy with Jen because I needed EMDR treatment. It's been a rough and emotional EMDR journey, and Jen has been so empathetic, supportive and professional. I feel confident and safe that I'm in very good hands. Thank you Jen!!! And I look forward continuous healing and triumphing with Jen's guidance!
Jennifer is great. She listens to my rants even when they sound like run on sentences.
She’s amazing. Makes it easy to open up to her and she gives you lots of feedback/advice to guide you
ili have pnly had 1 session with Jennifer but I liked her and could continue talking with her
Jennifer is so understanding and easy to talk to that I forget she is a counselor.
Jennifer is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I was so nervous to start counseling but I’m so happy that I did .. it’s important to have someone on the outside of your circle to talk to !
I alleviate that Jennifer is a believer and able to invoice this in therapy.
Jennifer is incredible! I have never been able to have someone that understands me and my goals as much as her. She knows I want to get down to work and work through my trauma and that's exactly what we do. Our conversations are always something I look forward to! She doesn't solve my problems for me, but she does give me tools that I can use to help things not seem so overwhelming. She listens, has compassion and never makes me feel like anything I say is like bad or crazy, so I feel very comfortable talking to her about everything. She really is the best counselor I've ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Wonderful
Jennifer is a wonderful, compassionate, smart counselor, and I'm so glad she was my first betterhelp experience. She always makes me feel comfortable, is non-judgmental, and gives excellent advice.
Great to work with!
Jennifer has helped me immensely. She's kind, considerate of my feelings and gives great advice!
I'm typically quite adverse to talk therapy. Was brought to BetterHelp kicking and screaming. After only the one conversation did the necessity of her expertise dawn on me and I knew I was in good hands. She's polite, professional and knowledgeable. No stigmatizing. I'm not sure how much more glowingly I can say I'm 100% on team Jen!
Jennifer is wonderful!! Highly recommend
