When I found Jessica I was so happy. She is incredibly kind, and listens and responds respectively to my needs. I'm so grateful to have her assisting me in my life and I couldn't ask for anyone better.

Jessica is so kind, respectful, and helpful. She's also so capable at recognizing which types of therapies work for me and which don't and suggesting new ones to try. She's incredibly patient and understanding, and she's the first therapist I've had that I feel truly cares about my wellbeing. I'm so glad that BetterHelp paired me with her.

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.

Jessica has been wonderful. She's supportive while still giving good insight into my situation. I appreciate her kindness.
Jessica is the second therapist I’ve tried on here and I won’t be trying anymore! She helps me in several ways and doesn’t just make me feel like I’m talking to a friend. I enjoy her professionalism along with her ability to relate. I am happy I got her on the second try she really has made me enjoy therapy.
Jessica is amazing. Talking with her feels like talking to a friend, yet she takes a neutral stance and offers additional perspectives. I feel like she truly cares for me and my well-being. Despite all that I tell her, she really listens and remembers names and details. She is also very responsive to messages in between video sessions. I would highly recommend reaching out to her, you won’t regret it
I connect so well with Jessica and she actually listens to me even if I sound ridiculous. She is very easy to talk to and supportive. I would recommend her to anyone!
An excellent therapist that I would recommend to anyone. Always top notch with advice and counsel. A great person to have in your corner.
She’s great. Very helpful and easy to talk to.
