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

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 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.
Jocelyn listens to me & provides me with great suggestions. I really appreciate her. Thanks
Jocelyn is wonderfully amazing. Thank God for Jocelyn and my therapy sessions!
Jocelyn is amazing! She listens, provides great feedback, and checks in on me. I highly recommend her services :)
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.
We are just beginning to meet. Great first experience
