More about me

Licensing: MS, LPC Years in Practice: 20 State: South Carolina

Hello my name is Linda Jarels and I am a licensed professional counselor with undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and over 20 years of experience in mental health treatment. I have worked with a variety of persons from children to the elderly and in various settings including residential treatment and inpatient acute psychiatric facilities. My experience includes not only direct patient care but psychometric testing/evaluation to adjunct college professorship. I am passionate about human behavior and have known since my early years what my life's work would be. I truly love the role of counselor and my patients; I find everyone's situation unique and do my best to help the patient navigate their way through their challenges. I use cognitive based approaches when appropriate but otherwise, tailor treatment to the individuals needs as no one approach is appropriate in all circumstances, I consider myself experienced and compassionate and welcome the opportunity to provide quality care.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Linda is the best. So helpful. So thoughtful. Really glad we matched and I’m able to make improvements in my life.

I’ve had the most fabulous therapy experience with linda. She has the depth of knowledge and breadth of experience to understand and assist me in navigating some very challenging life circumstances with both substance-abuse in a former partner and work life issues. I recommend better help and especially linda on a regular basis as I found it to be therapy that works for me at my pace and availability. It can be challenging to find someone that has a sophistication like Linda.

She is very kind and patient. I would definitely recommend

Working with Linda is like having a good friend with great insight. It’s easier to get to the root of my issues while just talking it out without having to dig.

Amazing, supportive, and great feedback in a time of need. Thank you

Linda has helped me with my PTSD and anxiety tremendously. Before starting counseling with Linda I was unable to leave the house or go out in public without having a panic attack. Now, I am able to manage my anxiety and PTSD symptoms so I can live my life almost as if my traumatic accident didn’t happen. She is caring, listens to your struggles, and gives practical advice on how to get better. Linda is a great therapist and has changed my life!

Linda is a great therapist who is willing to listen to your individual struggle and help with practical guidance on tackling stress, trauma and anxiety. Before I started therapy with her, I was extremely demotivated and was suffering regularly from my past traumatic experiences. She took time and care to understand what I was going through, gave me limited but useful worksheets to pen down my feelings and motivated me to do better in life. I am very grateful to have met someone like Linda in my life who reinstated the confidence in myself and made me feel stronger and more capable of leading my life.

I’ve only had one session so far. I’m hopeful we are a good fit.

Amazing listener.

energizing therapist.

Linda is obviously very experienced and capable of understanding me on a deep level very quickly. She seems to know exactly what questions to ask, and she seems to know exactly how to steer our conversation and train of thought. She's always "one step ahead of me", not in a negative way. I'm sure she's had to hear about similar problems several times over by now. I'm grateful for her guidance and I'm grateful to have someone to talk to. I look forward to sharing more with her.

Linda is a wonderful listener and very informative and lets me figure things out with the worksheets. But also guides me to realizing what I need to work on. I always look forward to my sessions with her.

For me, it was a life changing experience to have the chance to have Linda as a therapist. I felt respected, more positive and I was given real tools and directions. Any one would be lucky to be helped by her. Thank you again!

Linda has been very helpful. She intently listens and offers suggestions if applicable. I enjoy my time with her.

She is a wonderful person and I hope she can help someone else like me.

She’s extremely knowledgeable and kind

Linda has been really encouraging and positive, she’s made some excellent suggestions but never makes me feel pressured to do anything I don’t feel comfortable with.

Linda has been great! Very flexible and accommodating. She is also a very good listener and makes you feel very comfortable to openly discuss anything right from the first interaction

I love talking to her, she calms me down and gives me solutions

I was struggling with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem but talking with Mrs Jarels helped a lot. I learned how not to dwell in my negative feelings and how to redirect them into a healthier mindset. I really appreciate everything Mrs Jarels did for me and would recommend talking to her if you have similar problems.

Linda is a fantastic therapist. She approached me with respect and carefully worked to understand my personality. Her advice is introspective, not necessarily prescriptive in behavior. I appreciate the challenges she provides to thoughts, adding a valued viewpoint. I would recommend her, as she has met me where I am at.

Linda was a great support for me during a difficult season of my life. I can't thank her enough for her guidance, kindness, and conversations throughout these times. I'll actually miss chatting with her, and hope we can connect again on BetterHelp again in the future (with less drama in my life

Linda is a lovely person who is empathetic and patient and also understanding. Also, she makes you feel very comfortable and is understanding of the fact that it can take time to open up.

I am very much enjoying working with Linda.

Can’t thanks Linda enough for what she has done for me these past few weeks

I like how Linda checks in on me regularly

Linda has been my first therapist so I really didn’t know what to expect but I have had such a good experience with Linda. She listens to me and helps me work through my issues. She is always willing to help me and responds in a timely manner ( even with the time difference) I get on with Linda really well which helps me open up to her and I am really enjoying my therapy each week with her!

I am thankful to Linda for her support and her honesty. She has been professional and responsive and is able to guide me through the sessions with empathy. I feel heard during sessions. Thank you.

She was super helpful and supportive, and really helped me to get through my anxiety. The way she speaks to you and just helps you to believe everything will be okay is amazing. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

Very professional, talented, and can definitely tell she know what she's doing and does a great job of it. I'm so happy to have found her

Linda is a shining star for me. She leads me to where I need be. She listens and responds in active questions about myself. I respond after thinking about them. I have a hard time describing myself. I have a hard time being thorough with my words. She is helping with that.
