Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jesse has been immensely helpful in giving me a more constructive way to decipher the inner machinations I'm otherwise unable to figure out on my own.

Reviewed July 2023

Jesse has been the most important and helpful tool I have had to change my life around. I am a different person than the one I was when I started work with him.

Reviewed November 2023

I've been working with Jesse for about four months now. He's very professional yet warm and compassionate. He clearly cares deeply about his clients and goes the extra mile to speak with them and follow up outside of regularly scheduled sessions. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

The best! Knowledgeable, empathetic, intelligent, thoughtful, communicative, helpful, professional, caring, highly qualified…that says it all. He should write books.

Jesse has been phenomenal in helping me process my grief. He’s very polite, friendly and funny. Talking with him feels like talking with an old friend. He’s very supportive, very kind and patient. He’s also a great listener and sets goals for me to complete every week. He’s responsive to my messages and always provides very good insight on everything. I probably don’t deserve such an amazing therapist.

Reviewed June 2023

Working with Jesse is a wonderful experience! When I receive messages from him I feel that he took the time to understand what I am trying to say to him and respond back in a manner that I understand. The goals we work with are obtainable for me. As everyone is different, I can only assume that he would make adjustments for every person. When we have our sessions, I feel heard and seen; not just taken at face value. I've only had one other therapist prior to Jesse (through a different route) but understand why people go through BetterHelp, Thank you so much Jesse for everything!

Jesse is totally professional, supportive and listens to everything I have to say. He not only listens but understands and lets me know he understands. He offers great alternative ways to look and think about different situations. He very easy to talk to and I feel comfortable opening up to him about personal issues in my life. I feel lucky to have found him and appreciate him very much.

Jesse brings a calm and attentive style to session, and is good at selecting tools (models, articles, worksheets) to present alternative ways to work on patterns in my thinking. He checks in with me between sessions and keeps my "stories" straight between work related dynamics and family struggles. I would recommend Jesse to anyone.

Reviewed March 2023

Jesse has helped me change my life. When I started with him I had given up hope on getting better and was in a mode of just doing nothing for myself and continuing 2 get more and more unhealthy. I can say I’m a different person with hope for the future since I started work with Jesse. He is quick 2 respond and always checks in through text

Reviewed March 2023

Jesse is always genuinely interested in my well being and offers insight and solutions and I'm very grateful for his help.

Reviewed March 2023

Jesse has been wonderful in both his professional approach and his ability to have relatability to situations proposed in our therapy sessions. I would encourage anyone on the fence about getting professional therapy help to really consider Jesse or anyone from better help, as I feel it checks a box with modern applications of therapy for everyone (the ability to message and video call instead of just meeting in person)

Reviewed February 2023

Jesse is as friendly and compassionate as they come. He is understanding, supportive, and listens without judgement. I appreciate his ability to unpack my inner dialogue and provide tools that have helped me to navigate life with new perspective and appreciation. I am comfortable speaking openly with Jesse because he's been able to spot things that I had no awareness of and he is very gentle yet honest with his feedback. Jesse makes me feel more like a friend and less like a client.

Jesse is greatly respectful, considerate, and clearly genuinely cares about my progress and improvement. I consider Jesse to be a true professional and I have come to greatly appreciate his work and ability to help me. While the outcome of my situation is not in his control, if things don't go my way at least I do feel much better equipped to deal with such situations as this in the future.
