More about Jakara
- 5 years' experience

- LCMHC
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS), I have spent the last five years dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s complexities. I work with clients facing a wide range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career planning and challenges, and multicultural concerns. Additionally, I support those navigating drug and alcohol use, self-esteem and confidence issues, as well as motivation and attention challenges.
My therapeutic approach blends Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused strategies, and Mindfulness practices. However, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model; I always tailor my approach to best meet your unique treatment needs.
I am deeply committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel genuinely seen and heard. True healing requires an understanding of your whole self, which is why I adopt a multicultural and social justice lens in my practice. Together, we will honor your diverse background. I look forward to assisting you on your journey towards well-being, and collaborating on a path forward that aligns with your personal values and goals.

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.
