So far, Jocelyn has been very attentative. "Challenging" me was one of the major things I wanted out of my therapist and I don't know if I told Better Help that, but she's it. She responds. She's on time. She's relatable. She's realistic. So that's good

I have been through a lot of therapists throughout my short life and Jocelyn definitely knows what she’s doing. Her approach is kind but reassuring. She knows how to lead me down a path of understanding without it seeming like she’s giving me the answer.

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.

Great therapist! Able to connect, relate and make me feel safe.
She was wonderful and very easy to talk to. She was great at both listening actively and also offering worksheets and tools to address specific areas of concern.
Jocelyn is great! She is a good listener and provides great feed back that helps.
I enjoy talking with Jocelyn. I feel I can relate with her and she understands my everyday struggles that I have. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to talk to about life and what we run into as mothers and women.
