More about Joeli

  • 31 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Connecticut with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & managing life transitions and challenges. I also have experience working with depression, relationship concerns and personality disorder characteristics. I have recently started here on BetterHelp full-time, to pursue my original career dream to help others, individually, one client at a time. This comes after many years working in both inpatient and outpatient hospital and varied community settings, with diverse populations, serving in management and supervisory roles while always keeping my hand in clinical care provision -including during the pandemic.

I believe that you are the expert of your story "the Narrator"--and I would be honored to help you as you narrate and navigate your life story. I operate from the perspective that you have many strengths and solutions within you that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Lastly, I subscribe to the notion that with my active listening and sensitivity to the topics you bring to therapy, in a completely judgement-free zone, with some reframing, feedback, gentle suggestions and sense of humor when needed, together we can create a trusting working alliance that may assist you in your therapeutic journey! Thank you for taking the time to review my information.

Warm Regards,

Joeli

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.

I have had two sessions so far with Joeli and it has been going well. I'm a lifelong patient at various stages and have been accustomed to the specific thing I need help on so I'm already quite versed with. I needed affirmations initially and she helped with that.
