More about Jennifer

Welcome! My name is Jennifer Rochel and I am licensed clinical social worker. If you are exploring better help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. I'd like to help. Finding the right counselor that you feel comfortable with is important to have a good alliance in meeting your goals. I believe that creating a safe environment for my client and developing a caring relationship is critical to successful therapy.
I'd like to tell you about myself so you can see if we are a good fit. I have been a social worker for more than 15 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. I have experience working with children and families in the child protection system, school system, and private practice setting.
I use a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience. I primarily use evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling.

About online counseling

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.

Overall rating:
Only had one session but he’s been great so far!
Very kind, understanding, listens to thoughts and concerns, gives useful and unbiased insights, provides material to help with personal matters, etc.
I look forward to my sessions every week with Jennifer. I appreciate how supportive she is and the way she respectfully corrects and challenges me when I need it. She understands my concerns and issues and is always ready with advice or resources to use as a tool for examining my thought patterns, emotions, and actions. I always leave with something to think about, even when on my best weeks. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who has challenges with confidence, self-worth, emotional regulation, or familial issues.
I am so grateful to have someone to check in with every week. Everyone needs someone and I’m thankful Mrs. Jennifer is an open ear during a difficult time in my life. I appreciate having someone on my side and helping me work through my troubles. She is a kind and compassionate woman who makes you feel like your in a safe space while dictating your problems to her. I recommend her for getting through life’s changes and planning for the future. She has been very understanding and encouraging during this process.
Timely responses, good resources.
She’s been fantastic. Responsive and helpful.
Very easy to talk too knowledgeable as well.
I started seeing Rochel during the pandemicZ. I’ve had lots of emotions mostly anxiety and she has helped me tackle those things. She has made me realize what my triggers are so I can better cope with situations. I still have more to overcome but I feel like we are making amazing progress. She is very down to earth and she listens. Her approach to have conversations doesn’t seemed forced.
Jennifer has been really lovely to talk to and confide in. I have been more comfortable with her than any other therapist I've had.
Jennifer is fantastic. She has helped me so much. She listens, asks the appropriate questions and gets you thinking about why you feel a certain way. I appreciate you so much Jennifer!
10:10 would recommend
jennifer makes it a point to check in with me if it’s been a few days. i really appreciate that. i feel like she actually cares about what’s going on and not just speaking with me because it’s her job.
I'm new to BetterHelp but so far it's been great! I love that my counselor is so easily accessible and that she is offering me a variety of resources to help work on my core issues.
