More about Jacob
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
My purpose is to provide a path to hope, healing, and happiness.
I am licensed in Arizona with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with sex addiction, relationship issues, betrayal trauma, infidelity, abuse, intimacy-related issues, and unhealthy communication styles. Other areas include self-esteem, motivation, and procrastination.
I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can truly feel heard, understood, and accepted. Counseling is a collaborative process where I offer knowledge, insights, and skills grounded in my training as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Change doesn't come without discomfort. In accordance with this, I challenge my clients to embrace discomfort and offer opportunities to do so.
I will bring my expertise, knowledge, love, and compassion. You bring your vulnerability, determination, and curiosity to learn. Together, we can move you along the path to true happiness and healing.

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.
