More about Jennifer
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and Illinois. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, medical and private case management. While in those settings, I have worked with clients who were experiencing a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety and panic disorders, substance abuse, physical and emotional abuse, domestic violence, families navigating difficult dynamics within the home, parental concerns re: to children who are diagnosed with emotional or behavioral issues, to families coping with aging parents and medical decisions.
My approach to therapy is to work specifically with you to determine a treatment plan that best fits your unique needs and situation. It is a huge step to start this process and my hope for you is to find a safe and caring environment that supports you on your wellness journey.
I look forward to meeting you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Very good listener, and cares about understanding her patients. First time with Betterhelp and have had an outstanding experience with it and her so far!!! Highly recommend to anyone.
Very responsive and really great at listening and helping develop action plans that I can use in between sessions
I’ve recommended Better Help and my therapist specifically to friends and family.
Love Jennifer! She has helped me with so many emotions that honestly I don't know what I would do. She's logical, gives great outlook and really builds a connection with her client. Incredibly thankful to her and everything she has helped me overcome.

Jennifer is a great listener who responds with support to help me think through my feelings while also providing real guidance that helps me put solutions into action throughout my daily life.
Jennifer is great. Listens well, gives neutral advice you can really apply. I’ve been very happy with her services.
This is my first therapy experience and it’s been great to talk through issues and plan ways for success
Jennifer is very knowledgeable, kind and receptive to my needs. This is my first experience with an on line platform and I would highly recommend it.
Jennifer is so caring and warm. She's created a safe space for me to be honest and vulnerable over the last year, and it's benefited my life tremendously.
Jennifer's been great in helping me stabilize in a really fast transitioning period of my life. Being able to dive quickly in and get to some key seeds of struggle has been incredibly helpful and insightful! Would absolutely recommend her.
I was very up in the air about doing on line counseling until I meet my therapist Jennifer. She has helped me out so much. She listens. She responds to my messages in a timely manner. She’s great at her job and you can tell that she loves what she does. I’m thankful that I started this journey to healing and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist.
Jennifer has helped me navigate a difficult season. She is warm and kind and gives me tools and confidence. She is genuine and I’m grateful I have her as a resource.
She is a very caring person. She understands me and for that I’m thankful
Jennifer is always there for me with great advice and ideas on ways to handle my situation better and things to do to keep on keeping on!!
Super nice. Great listener and advisor. Seems to just "get it". Highly recommend.
They just had me do a survey of how I liked Jennifer as a therapist and I didn’t think it showed how strongly I felt about this . I was not a believer of therapy at first but since the very first day she has changed my mind on that . I would recommend her to anyone and as a matter of fact I have sent my sister a week of therapy and recommended her . I’m just saying that she is really quite good at this job and you can tell she really cares . That and she has a wonderful tendency to message me just when I am needing to talk to someone . I appreciate that a bunch . Sincerely Christopher Martyn , a loyal and current subscriber.
I have been working with Jennifer for at least six months now after being with another therapist for awhile. She is great. I genuinely feel like I have a friend in her. She responds very timely and checks in often. Couldn’t recommend her enough.
Jennifer has been amazing at helping me overcome a traumatic event in my life. She listens to what I have to say, and then always gives such insightful feedback and just the right amount of pushback to help me understand where I'm at. She has been great at providing resources for me to utilize throughout the week outside of my therapy session with her. I still have a lot to work through, which can feel so daunting at times, but I feel so much more empowered, safe, and comfortable getting through it knowing that I have weekly sessions with Jennifer to help.
I find Jennifer to be extremely intuitive and well versed in her knowledge. I’m excited to continue my journey of healing with her!
Jennifer has been really supportive and helpful on my journey. She listens and really helps me break things down to better understand and address them. She listens and lets me vent my frustrations without judging and then helps to problem solve ways to improve the situation or my reaction to it.
I am extremely happy with betterhelp so far . Jennifer is very easy to talk to and seems to hit right at the heart of my issues . And she is very well spoken and easy to relate to and understand .
I am new to Jennifer but so far I really appreciate her approach.
Jennifer is so kind, open-hearted, and creates such a safe space for our sessions. She is an incredibly skilled and lovely therapist!
Jennifer has been so friendly and helped me feel more confident. Highly recommend and appreciate her!
She is amazing and I’m so thankful for her genuine care and concern for my mental well-being. I feel heard and respected. I would recommend her to anyone.
Jennifer is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable. I felt overwhelmed and she helped me break my issues into manageable pieces and create a plan that is flexible. She also offers tons of resources for me to explore between sessions which I appreciate.
Jennifer is amazing. I have had many therapists and haven’t felt as connected or comfortable with any since Jennifer. She is the perfect balance of empathetic and direct. I highly recommend her!
Jennifer has been incredibly helpful and very caring. I'm thankful to have been able to find her for support.
I have been with Jennifer for almost two months. I have been in therapy for about 9 months total and I feel as though I have worked through more in this two months then I did in total, she is amazing and goes the extra mile to help. She is fast to reply and is just amazing
I think Jennifer is great. She really helps me see things from a side that may not be seen and it feels like she cares and really helps me focus on getting better and getting the help I need. Everyone is different and everyone learns differently. She is great when it comes to focus on things I need to focus on and questions asked so she can really get to the root of my anxiety.
Jen is so compassionate and gentle. I appreciate her perspective and insight, always!
I have loved working with Jennifer so far. She's extremely personable and responsive, and provides me with a lot of different resources.
So far, this is helping me to be able to vent and have someone else tell me that I'm right in my thinking. I'm so glad I have chosen Betterhelp. It's only been a bit, so I'm hoping it continues to help.
Only one session in so far and she is amazing! My fourth therapist now and I already feel an amazing connection. She is fast to respond and very interested in what you have to say. Will update my review later but I’m sure it wil be great :)
