More about Jennifer
- 17 years' experience

- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional experiences, including stress, anxiety, trauma, intimacy challenges, sexual addiction, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual's unique journey, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic environment.
My therapeutic work spans diverse areas such as communication difficulties, social anxiety, anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, attachment issues, negative core beliefs, and personal empowerment. I'm committed to helping clients navigate complex emotional landscapes, whether they're dealing with workplace stress, relationship challenges, or personal transformation.
I believe in a holistic approach that honors each person's individual experiences and strengths, supporting clients as they develop deeper self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful life strategies.

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.

So for my experience with Jennifer has been amazing. She is very easy to talk to and has great interaction and suggestions for each session.
Jennifer is great.
Very professional and helpful!
I have been working with Jennifer for, and I can honestly say that the experience has been wonderful. From the very first session, she created an atmosphere where I felt safe, heard, and understood. One of the things I appreciate most is Jennifer’s ability to balance deep compassion with practical strategies. She listens without judgment, but also offers tools and perspectives that I can take into my daily life. This has helped me not only process what I’m going through but also feel more equipped to handle challenges as they come. She is incredibly professional, always punctual, and respectful of my time. Beyond that, Jennifer has a calming presence that makes it easy to open up, even when discussing difficult or vulnerable topics. I have never once felt rushed or dismissed. If you are looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and skilled, I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. She truly cares about her clients and is dedicated to helping people grow, heal, and thrive.
From someone who is very antisocial and avoids "being be a bother" to others, Jennifer makes it really easy to talk to her. I feel like I am talking with an old friend when I talk with her, which makes it very easy to open up. I just started treatment but just talking with someone feels great. I am very glad I tried Betterhelp and got matched up with Jennifer!
Jennifer has been amazing, knowledgeable and very helpful. She takes the time to listen and really understand the things I need to focus on. She has a ton of knowledge and resources to provide! Highly recommend her to anyone!
I know its early on but I am very thankful for you and our sessions. I look forward to talking to her she knows her stuff
Very good!
Jennifer is amazing!
She’s great
Jennifer has been a life saver for me. Without her I don’t know where I would be, Thank you Jennifer
Jennifer has a reassuring way of letting you know how knowledgeable she is without coming across as condescending or intimidating. Her expertise and experiences shine through during session and her guidance I’ve found very helpful!
I am so thankful for Jennifer. She is the perfect therapist for me. 10/10 highly recommend!!
Jennifer is hard working, understanding and really likable. Really feel like she listens to me and is helping me. She feels like what i think a caring mam would be like.
Jennifer gets me as a person and understands my needs
Jennifer has saved my life. No joke. She is the most incredible therapist I’ve ever worked with. I had breakthrough moments at each and every one of my first 5-6 sessions and since then I have been better equipped to deal with the complexities of my life, as they arise, but knowing she is always on hand to pick me up when I’m spiralling and then on our weekly calls, gets me through the week. She is the greatest gift I have ever given myself and I am so truly grateful I found her x
I felt comfortable with Jennifer straight away. She has given me the tools I need to take back control in my life. She is encouraging and approachable, and sets you up so that one day you won't need therapy. If her areas of experience are what you are looking for, I would highly recommend.
She is great
Jennifer has gone above and beyond to help me. Her support has (and continues to) helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and for that I will always be eternally grateful.
I like it when people have the ability to be direct and not sugar coat things and Jennifer is great with this, she’s very direct with me and I like it.
Jennifer is the best therapist I could possible ask for. I can't express how much she's helped me in terms of personal growth and navigating my relationship with my partner. I walk away from every weekly phone call with a clearer view of things, with greater empathy, and with the ability to address my concerns in a straightforward, healthy, and compassionate manner to my partner. I also love that we're able to laugh and be more lighthearted too. Given the time difference, I'm usually quite tired by the time we talk, but I always know that it'll be a truly enjoyable and constructive conversation that's worth staying up for! I've recommended Betterhelp to all my closest friends based on my experience with Jennifer. She's a star!
Jennifer is awesome and easy to talk to. I don't think BetterHelp could've paired me with someone more perfect for helping me be a better me.
Jennifer has seriously been so helpful, she creates a space where i feel safe and she never interrupts me and i am able to honestly share how i feel without judgement! i have never liked a therapist as much as i like Jennifer.
Jennifer always answers my messages back when she is available, she is very nice, calm, helpful, and understanding.
Jennifer is amazing, I don’t think I could have gotten to where I am today if it wasn’t for her. She listens, cares about me and my journey and provides tools for me to make choices about the path I take. I could never thank her enough for everything she has done.
Jennifer has been such a great support during some difficult times. I can rely on her reply to me and to have my best interests at heart. She’s is sympathetic and helps me find proactive ways to address my issues.
Jennifer has changed my life already, in just a short time working together. She has been able to identify the deeper issues holding me back and troubling me, has pushed me just far enough to move forward, without overwhelming me. She is honest and forthright and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone struggling with trauma, in particular.
Jennifer is very objective and easy to talk to. She not only has great insight but does not make me feel like she is judging me or telling me what to do, which is super helpful in making progress! Jennifer is professional and very knowledgable, she is caring and gives you the time you need!
She has given me ideas and tools to help aid in my counseling goals.
Jennifer is extremely friendly and helpful. She prioritises the wants and needs of her clients, and is willing to adapt her way of doing things in order to find the best fit for the person at hand. I have nothing but good things to say about her!
Jennifer Barajas is a very good counsellor. She pays attention to the client details and talks about their issues. She also helped me in making a decision. Overall she is highly recommended.
Listens and crafts appropriate support. Very good!
Jennifer is very easy to talk to, has some great questions and talking points to get you thinking, and even better- she gives you take-aways and challenges to work on. I find her to be experienced and professional, but understanding and empathetic. Working with Jennifer doesn’t feel like you’re being analyzed or judged, but rather she helps you dig a bit deeper in thought or reason. Highly recommended, and a great asset to my personal development.
She’s amazing. She gets me. I’m so glad to have found her.
I am having an extremely hard time and the best thing to have come from it is meeting Jennifer Barajas. She is kind, she listens and understands exactly what I am going though. She offers fantastic advice specific to my needs, she isn’t pushing for me to have any answers beyond what I am capable of giving. She is supportive and is 100% committed in helping me rebuild my life one step at a time. I feel so lucky to have felt ready and taken a leap of faith in investing in this app and receiving such wonderful care.
She is extremely helpful and kind and she always makes sure you are ready to talk about something that may be upsetting.
