My sense of peace in a stressful time has increased through talking with and being supported by Jennifer.

Reviewed September 2024

For BetterHelp keep sponsoring content creators, it's definitely worked to get me to talk to someone. Jennifer is amazing at dealing with my first time talking to a therapist without someone else's input. She has amazing communication skills and doesn't interrupt yet still keeps me on point. This is probably the best app for mental help I have found, and Jennifer was a big part of that statement.

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.

She didn’t know, but I came in extremely skeptical. Jennifer changed all that and made me feel comfortable. I feel heard and valued, and it’s nice to know someone is listening and offering valuable things to help me.

She’s very sweet and understanding I would highly recommend her for others.

Reviewed April 2024

Jennifer is very supportive and personable. The conversation flows very naturally and we are able to discuss a plethora of topics.

Reviewed January 2024

Jennifer takes the time to really listen and understand me. She leaves space for me to show up authentically. She provides empathy and validation and also challenges me to question my thoughts and explore possibilities. I can already feel a positive change in my life even after just a few sessions.
