Janet Jacobs is a skilled, experienced and receptive clinician. She is also culturally sensitive. She provides careful listening in combination with effective interventions. I've never had a therapist combine inner child work and mindfulness so powerfully. feel very supported by Janet even when I can't come to session as my best self. I feel like she understands that who I am in session, while working on my 'stuff' isn't how I necessarily walk around in the world. I feel like she sees me clearly and I love our sessions.

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.

Janet Jacobs is the real deal. She knows how to access the core issues within her clients and then compassionately finds a way to draw out the obstacles that are impeding the patient’s ability to improve their life. I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Jacobs because she has helped me immensely, and I know that our continued journey together will only improve my outlook, self-esteem, and my ability to move forward in life to achieve the goals I originally wanted.
