Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and am also licensed through the state of Michigan. I earned a Master of Science in Counseling degree with a concentration in Mental Health. Over the past 7 years, I have counseled adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family issues. My experience also has consisted of counseling teens in a residential treatment facility who had sexually offended and working with children and adults who have been abused and/or neglected. I have experience providing individual, group, family and couples therapy in the areas of victimization, trauma, coping skills, forgiveness, self-esteem, conflict resolution, family reunification, and relapse prevention for sex offenders.
Everyone is different and therefore my therapeutic approach is eclectic. This approach incorporates a variety of therapeutic principles in order to meet the specific needs of each individual client. I specifically enjoy using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy. I look forward to working with you to create a plan after accessing your needs and concerns. The ultimate goal of your counseling experience is to acquire the tools to promote positive change for personal growth and to positively cope with life events.
I consider myself to be warm, down-to-earth, and approachable. I love to look at the perspective of others in order to understand them and communicate with them more effectively. Congratulations on having the courage to seek counseling! I am glad to take this journey with you.

Jennifer Jacobs is truly a kind and compassionate therapist. I am going through a difficult transition in my life, and would not have made it through without her. She is extremely responsive to messages, and never once missed or cancelled a live session. She is light hearted and funny, but also asks the difficult questions when needed. I highly recommend her!

Love her. So helpful and has changed my life for the better
Written on Aug 12, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 1 year on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes
She has been a pleasure to work with. She doesn’t just get on here and ask questions pertaining to me and go on by her day. She fully involves herself within the conversation. There isn’t a moment when I have to question if she was the perfect match for me on the first try. It may have only been 4 weeks but I feel I have gotten a lot out of working with her. I hope I get the chance to continue doing therapy with her.
Written on Jul 12, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
I’ve been seeing Jennifer for almost a year and I don’t think I would managed without her. She manages to feel like a friend whilst still maintaining her role as a therapist. I’ve found it easy to talk to her and quickly felt comfortable around her. As this is my first experience of therapy I thought it would be dreadfully serious however it felt very balanced. Though we’d discuss serious, personally traumatic matters we would also find time to share a laugh.
When discussing my troubles she helped me break them down and consider them from a different standpoint. The advice she gave was pragmatic and applicable to the situation, she would also take into account how comfortable I felt enacting her advice.
Lastly I felt as though she truly cared. She remembered small details about me which illustrate to me her truly compassionate nature.
Thank you so much for everything

She is great! The best ever!
Written on Jul 05, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues
Jennifer is, in short, a literal angel. I'm still relatively new as a patient of hers, and yet the leaps and bounds she has guided me through already is incredible. With her guidance, I'm truly getting to know myself for the first time. I'm learning how to be able to assess my own needs, and what to do in order to support myself; you can't support and help others if you're already in a heap on the ground. Thanks to Jennifer, I'm learning to stand up.

Jennifer has been a brilliant therapist for me. She has helped me in so many ways. I have been speaking to Jennifer for 8 months and I feel stronger and more confident thanks to her. She always listens and responds with positive ideas and asks questions that make me see things in a different way. We have had many laughs during our sessions and I’ll always be thankful for Jennifer’s support and guidance.

I’m happy that after returning to therapy I was able to work with Jennifer again. She makes it easy to open up and talk
Written on Mar 04, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief, and coping with life changes
Jennifer, despite being in another continent always has a friendly approach to our sessions and is always focused on providing tools to help me in situations that I can use in the future, not just quick solutions that will only work in the present. After every session, I feel set-up for my week ahead and feel no pressure to achieve little wins but lovingly motivated instead. If I could sprinkle Jennifer’s wisdom in my own little world I think the people around me would be much happier!

Jennifer is an amazing therapist!!!!
Written on Nov 04, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem
Jennifer is amazing! She’s been so supportive as I’ve gone through some major life transitions (moving in with my partner, meeting his parents for the first time, getting let go from a job, and the job hunt/interview process, just to name a few). I just accepted a new job offer today and am so thankful and thrilled to have Jennifer as my therapist as I begin this new chapter and journey. The first thing I did after accepting the offer was messaged Jennifer to address some feelings of imposter syndrome already seeping in. She is the third therapist I’ve ever worked with and I find her incredibly easy to open up, and I normally struggle with sharing things as I’m going through them. She’s a gem!

Jennifer is a kind, empathetic and skilled therapist whose sunny disposition and professional manner truly have helped me greatly over a difficult year. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
Written on Oct 19, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and compassion fatigue
Jennifer is the best! I've been through therapy with other counselors and never felt comfortable enough to open up completely without fear of judgement. Jennifer is amazing at building a safe, open relationship that brings down the walls. I've been with her for more than 6 months now and I feel my life has greatly improved since the start. She is compassionate, empathetic and clearly passionate about the work she does. I feel so lucky to have been matched with her! Thank you, Jennifer!

I think she's amazing, when I'm talking to her I forget sometimes that I'm talking to a license therapist and when talking to her its like I'm talking to a close friend who I've been friends with for years

Jennifer is such a lovely person with a warm soul. It was really easy opening up to her as she's so non-judgemental. She's really positive and attentive as well and highlights the parts in my narrative that are going quite well despite my issues, and brings moments of comfort to our sessions. Thanks for your patience and your time. x

Jennifer is a very caring and conscientious person with a natural talent and sensitivity to emphathise with and deeply understand others. If someone is a sensitive and affectionate person like me who needs care, honest emotional support and a lot of encouraging feedback to cope with the challenges of life, Jennifer is a great choice as a counsellor.

Jennifer is so kind and understanding. She never judges you for anything you say or talk about. I have always found it difficult to talk about my personal life but with Jennifer it felt so easy to be open about how I felt. We discussed a range of things and she always managed to make me laugh about things too. Love her!!

Jennifer is incredible. She's a great listener, super thoughtful and in tune with how I'm feeling from session to session. She's given me great links to different resources and helps me navigate through them. Anyone would be lucky to have Jennifer as their counsellor.

I've really enjoyed my sessions with Jennifer and highly recommend her. She helped me develop tools to manage my stress and anxiety that I will continue to use even after our sessions have finished. Her approach is very informal and friendly, and maybe even more useful than the feedback she gave me, her attitude helped me to take things less seriously and lighten the pressure I put on myself.

Jennifer was of great help in a time of need. Like a lighthouse beckoning a struggling ship to safety before it wrecks itself against the rocks. She has an attentive ear and helped me deal during a massive break up amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. She's a best friend just waiting to be discovered. Would 100% recommend.

Jennifer is a really amazing counsellor, she is great at listening and applying helpful advice or information that you can relate to. I had tried therapy before and had really struggled with opening up but Jennifer is incredibly easy to talk to and she is very kind. I find the worksheets and tasks she asks me to do really do make a difference as they make me think about things that I haven’t thought about before or approach them from a different perspective. I’m really thankful for all of the help that she’s provided me and I would absolutely recommend Jennifer.

I have seen many, many counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrist.
I have just started with Jennifer and she is FAR and AWAY the BEST I have ever encountered. I am so massively impressed with the little we’ve done.
I had another counsellor initially but was disappointed and considering leaving Better Help but with Jennifer, I will be happy to keep paying as long as it takes even if it’s decades.
I’ve even tried famous therapists before but Jennifer is the real deal. I can’t give her enough praise or acknowledgment.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Counsellor. You will not be disappointed!!
Thank you Jennifer, thank you so much. I look forward to working with you further!
