Hi, and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Jenna Matthews. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) holding Master's degrees in Community Counseling and Child & Adolescent Psychology. I am a person-centered, strengths-based therapist. That means that I like to let you take the lead. We’ll start where you are, and together, create an action plan for moving forward. We will also focus on your many strengths and identify how we can apply them to your current situation to achieve your best outcome. I’m excited to get to know you better!
I believe, as Pema Chödrön wrote, that "life is a good teacher and a good friend." Still, we all experience times in our lives where we may need some extra support. Wherever you are, it is important to know that you are never alone on your journey. I am honored to join with my clients as they navigate their paths, and I hope that you will let me walk with you, too.
I look forward to working with you!

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.
