Hello, I am Jacqueline Switzer, LMHC, M.A. For. Psych.. For nearly 2 decades I have dedicated my career to helping others. This has come in many forms over the years from group home experiencein my early career care/case management, managing a homeless shelter, crisis managment and intervention, contractor for NYS Dept. Of Corrections (DOCCS), group and individual counseling.
I have been a practicing therapist for 8 years, but my working experience in the mental health field far exceededs that. Thanks to my diverse background I am able to be a strong advocate for my clients and it gives me a unique approach that is trauma informed, solution focused, with psychoeducation and mindfulness
intertwined throughout and allows me to provide unbiased quality care for my clients.

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.
