Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gerald Crimmins. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Easy to talk to. Feels more like chatting with a friend, instead of a therapist. Has helpful answers/advice. Seems genuinely interested in helping me be the best person I can/want to be.
Jerry was extremely helpful in our interactions. Very polite and very caring. I appreciate all the exchanges I have had with Jerry. Thank you, Jerry.
Jerry is someone I will never forget. How quickly he gained my trust was quite surprising to me, and I was able to tell him anything that was on my mind, even things I had never told anyone before. His kindness, compassion, and understanding were incredible. Jerry always seemed to know exactly what to say, and when to say it. I will always highly recommend Jerry to anyone in need.
I LOVE Jerry! ♥️ He is amazing! I’ve never had any mental health professional understand me like he does. I honestly feel that for the 1st time in my life I’m learning about who I am, the dynamics of my dysfunctional family, and how to change certain negative behaviors. I believe he is all I ever needed. I wish he would have been my therapist 20 years ago!
Thank you Jerry.
I have appreciated everything you have done for me. While it is your job, you have been like a dear friend to me. You have been the best therapist I've ever had. If I ever need to start it up again, I hope I'm able to have you as my therapist again. I wish you the best in your endeavors. Thank you. You helped heal parts of my heart and understand myself better. I will miss you. Thank you, for everything.
Highly recommend my therapist! He listens, throws in some humor, and responds in a timely manner. Hope that I work with him for years. Life is easier with someone helping me sort things out.
Jerry is exactly who I was looking for in a therapist. He is empathetic and logical, he made me feel validated while also helping me come to terms with my fears. If I seek help again, I hope to be able to work with him again.
Gerald cares and he will guide you through the distressing parts of life.
Gerald has been great to work with! I appreciate his easy going demeanor that puts me at ease and how he presents his insights in a non-judgmental and kind manner.
I’ve only been with Jerry for a short amount of time now but he has been the most welcoming Therapist who has been nothing but patient and respectful. Super impressed.
Gerald has a very pleasant and relatable demeanor. I've found his responses to my issues to be insightful, sometimes funny and always helpful. He seems to have a solid grasp of psychology and of the current times, even though I'm now older by most definitions. I appreciate his expertise and the time he's so far put into my therapy.
Incredibly impressed.
He's great! I love Jerry!
Just what I need
I feel listened to, respected and receive wise responses and information to help deal with my challenging situation. His wit and occasional humor are appropriate and he is timely with responses.
So far I’m happy with my therapist we r just getting to know one another
Thank you for breaking things down and having me set some primary goals to focus on.
10/10 would recommend! Professional yet can still talk to you like a real person. Some professional are too professional if you know what I mean… With Jerry it’s like talking with a friend with a professional background.
He was perfect listened get back great reviews help me with my thinking help me with my nervousness never told me I couldn’t do something and never told me I couldn’t do anything just told me to keep my head up always gave me great suggestions he’s a perfect counselor I wish I could keep him
Jerry has been a phenomenal person to chat with over the past few weeks. He really has opened up my mind and heart. I honestly get excited when I see he has replied back because I know just how beneficial it is to hear his thoughts. I wish I would have found him sooner, but super thankful for my journey so far!
I love working with Jerry! He’s really given me great tools to overcome difficulties in life with my mental health and even more. I love that even if I’m feeling great I can still talk with him and let him know how I am. He’s given me great feedback and I feel very comfortable talking with him.
Jerry has been wonderful!
Jerry Is an amazing therapist. He listens and happy to guide you through your issues. He offers all the options you have to help you get better. I would highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs a therapy.
Professional, responds quickly
Jerry provide a vehicle to express your concerns and will provide positive feedback. Like having someone on your side for a change. Understands and has experiences in most situations and able to relate I love be able to have that extra ear to express my feelings.
Jerry has been very helpful so far. He makes me feel very comfortable and he understands that what im going through is difficult but reassured me that I can get through it. Really appreciate it!
Excellent!
Jerry is wonderful. He really reads into what you say to find its true meaning/reason for exisiting inside you, and helps you understand it, and grow from it. I do feel hes limited by the platform as this man could change lives face to face! 10/10
This is my first time working with a therapist virtually and I 100% believe it is successful. I believe the key for me is connecting with my therapist, and I feel Jerry is perfect for me. He is easy to talk to and has really helped me navigate the challenges I am working through. He has provided me with useful tips and sometimes a different perspective than I expected that helped me do the same.
I feel heard. In the few short weeks that I’ve had dialogue with Jerry, I finally feel heard. And not talked down to. I’m very appreciative of how he communicates with me.
Jerry is amazing. He has helped me work through so many different things! He listens to my concerns and answers with honesty and directness. He gives many different alternatives on how to handle and given situation!
Quick to respond with thoughtful, insightful suggestions for any issue I present
Jerry has been a great asset in my life. I feel like I can "unload" whatever I am feeling with him and he helps me approach it as a team rather than just giving me tools to approach it on my own. I trust him to give me the support and guidance I need while keeping a great sense of humor!
I've been working with Jerry for about a year on issues related to social and performance anxiety. Jerry is an amazing counselor, he listens and makes you feel welcome. He's always in your corner, supporting you in your struggles, offering tools to deal with what plagues you. He frequently puts little touches of humour in his messages which provide some much needed levity. On rare occasions, he might even disagree with you, for your sake : he challenged me when I was stuck in a thought loop that was sterile, and resulted in inaction. He also responds very well to criticism. He is all around a very nice person who happens to have an expertise in Psychology, and who can help you out, if you give him the chance.
Jerry has been working with me for about 2 months now. I have had a lot of changes in my life, that have been very stressful. He allows me to just write away my thoughts and feelings, and sorts through them and gives back the advice and encouragement that I need to go through my day. For me, just writing down my thoughts helps me build a plan and he confirms if that plan is good, or how to tweak it to fit better. His sense of humor is such a refreshing insight on how to build things up. Best counselor I’ve had ever.
I tell Jerry some crazy shit and he still helps me out. I’ve been with Jerry for almost a year and I appreciate his responses. It seems like he puts a lot of thought into what he’s saying. Although sometimes it takes a day or 2 for a response, when it comes, it’s very nice to see his educated perspective. I’ve never talked about things that bothered me and didn’t even know where to start, but it’s been nice not feeling judged about the process.
Knowing it was time for me to reach out for help, I was glad for the recommendation to try Better Help. The first therapist I was auto-matched with didn't work out at all. Pouring through the options, I selected Jerry for the positive reviews from people working through similar issues I am, and for his profile with the use of words like "compassion" and "sensitivity." I was feeling very raw and vulnerable when I started seeing Jerry. He validated the "what" and "why" behind those feelings, as well as find some ways to move forward. He's quite candid to the point of being blunt, which I personally and greatly appreciate and thank him for it often. He's also kind and thoughtful, which is a difficult balance to maintain. He always seems to know when I need more validation on certain issues versus general recognition. While I don't quite know what's in my future, I feel like I have more options and more strength to draw on than when I first met him 7 weeks ago. Thank you for everything Jerry!
I have never really had counseling, so I don’t really have a comparative example. I find Jerry very responsive and tuned in to my issue(s), so I feel comfortable with sharing my feelings openly.
Though I have only worked with him a short time, I've come to appreciate Jerry's direct approach to counseling. He not only focuses on mental habits, but also physical ones that affect lifestyle and behaviors.
Jerry has shown such patience, professionalism, and support so far. I find his manner very easy and feel entirely comfortable with him, in the process of the work that we are doing. I trust his capability in helping me through some very complex emotional challenges.
I very appreciate counseling with you And I strongly Recommend friends and family to you. May God bless you
Jerry Crimmins is an amazing person to talk to and get suggestions and advice from. An overall amazing person and very easy to talk to. If you need that little push to decide who to go to for help, take this recommendation as that. Thank you Jerry for everything!
I love being to write out my thoughts and feelings and knowing that I’m going to get a response in a day or two. I like that I don’t have to wait for a weekly meeting to talk with Jerry.
As always, I have only positive things to say about Jerry! Great listener and always validates my feelings, even if they are irrational. I have recommended to many friends.
He helps me a lot just by listening, sometimes we all want to be heard.
Jerry is a wonderful counselor. His advice is concrete and helps me to feel confident that I'm working towards my goals.
Jerry has been great. I appreciate his timeliness and his check-ins. I think he has a good grasp on my concerns even though we just started working together. I would recommend him to others.
I’ve always been a fan of writing down thoughts, and meeting Jerry as a councilor fills the bill, most excellently.
I have worked with Jerry for a couple months now, and really enjoyed my therapy session with him. He's such a strong force of nature, always on time and ready to answer my messages within 48 hours without delay. He will be checking in on me when I haven't been on the platform to make sure that I am doing all right, and it's always nice to have someone like Jerry support my life and listening to my updates. We've become really great pen-pals, and my experience is nothing but good. Highly recommended :)
Jerry is quick to respond and has helped me feel so much better about my daily stresses!
Mr. Crimmins is a wonderful, understanding counselor and I would highly recommend him to other people struggling with issues in their life.
Jerry is the best, I love his style of counseling...it fits my lifestyle.
Jerry is forthright and honest. He holds up a mirror to my statements and helps me to face them and come to terms with them. He helps me move forward in my life. I appreciate that he supports me and is helping me become who I want to be by helping me to be honest with myself.
I’d recommend him as a counselor.
As a medical professional going through some challenges at work and in education, I highly recommend Jerry. He responded to me in an efficient and timely manner. Within two sessions, I can see he was a spot-on diagnosis. I was very reluctant to find a counselor after a one-time unpleasant experience in local office-based service. However, after my experience with jerry, I completely changed my opinion on counseling and counselors. I'm lucky that I gave it a second try!
I was super sceptical about receiving therapy from Jerry purely because I felt I wouldn’t be able to communicate my issues effectively through messaging. However, I have been really really pleasantly surprised so far. He responds in decent time and replies to everything I’ve written so nothing I say feels ignored. I feel like I am making progress and I’m feeling hopeful I will continue to feel better mentally with his help.
I was super skeptical about all of this but after speaking with Jerry, he made me feel comfortable and supported. I love his sassyness, its my kind of person I can talk and relate to. Always checks on me and makes me feel heard. Highly recommend him!
Jerry has helped me thru some rough times in my life and I’m scared to lose him. I won’t be able to afford this much longer and scared to what’s gonna happen next
So far he has been supportive and helps validate my feelings. We are new to each other so he has not really gotten to know me that well yet. He is professional and gives good direction. I would like more open ended questions to help me improve my insight vs advice. Overall, I am happy with our progress.
Jerry is the best therapist/counselor I’ve ever had! I’ve had issues with other therapists but he makes me feel seen, heard, and supports me in ways that others wouldn’t. Jerry finds ways to relate to how I’m feeling, and is ready to brainstorm solutions when I am asking for help! His encouragement and faith that I can make changes for the better really motivate me when I struggle to see immediate growth!
Jerry has been very thoughtful and attentive in our relationship so far. I appreciate his honesty and each of our conversations.
I find BetterHelp to be a helpful tool in my life right now. As Jerry doesn’t offer the video sessions, he still offers the advice on the topics I need. He gives me tools to use and it helps to know someone who is non-biased is there to talk with.
Wonderful!
I was apprehensive, because the way he does therapy is only through messaging; however, this turned out to work amazing for me. I had no excuse to miss an appointment, because it was just right there. I could message whenever I wanted (especially when in an emotional moment). Messages back and forth are lengthy. We talk about various issues and he responds back to EVERYTHING I write. You can tell he really takes his time to respond in a way that he knows will be helpful. It is challenging for me to find a therapist I like, because I am a counselor myself. He is truly the first one to call my BS, challenge my thinking patterns, boost my self esteem a little, and also relate back to me. Would highly recommend.
I was very hesitant to try therapy through the site with messaging only since I have done years of in-person or video therapy, but I really have enjoyed this so far. I like having tasks to do during the week through worksheets and goals, it helps so much. I highly recommend Jerry, his responses are always thoughtful, helpful, caring and just make me feel like there's someone rooting for me. He's really great and I am so grateful to have found him.
I’m working with Jerry Crimmins and he has helping me get to the root of my inner turmoil. I have been very pleased with his guidance and support.
He Has given me many tips on things I struggle with and he helps build me up. I am thankful for the knowledge he has shared.
I'd like to thank Jerry for his help and expertise. He is a kind and professional therapist whose knowledge has been invaluable to me. Thank you so much!
Jerry is kind, thoughtful, and encouraging. I am very glad I joined Betterhelp and actually found the right counselor for me. He is easy to talk to and listens to EVERY detail. He is helpful and very relatable. I look forward to a reply.
I was going through an awful breakup and when the person that I usually went to when I needed to be calmed down left my life, Jerry was an amazing person to share my worries and concerns with while I was coping with my loss. I cannot recommend Jerry enough to tackle problems head on.
Jerry does a great job of replying to all parts of my messages. He validates my concerns and offers different strategies to help me. His technique is strictly messaging, which is something I’ve never tried before, but it’s nice to be able to think about what I want to say before I send it. I also really love that I’m able to save the messages we send so I can look back at them and reread them if needed.
I feel like Jerry is really helping me in the areas that need attention, and are the reason I was seeking help. He provides thoughtful feedback and is easy to communicate with. However, his style of therapy is not for everyone, I was at first unsure if just writing back and forth (no video/calls) would work well for me, but I am really enjoying it, and do feel it is helpful to me.
Formulaic. Distant. A reason I give up on counseling. Reaffirmation that I'm not understandable.
He's very kind and understanding. He's very helpful at directing you in the right direction when problems arise in my everyday life. He's very supportive as well! I appreciate working with him.
I have really enjoyed working with Jerry! My first match on Better Help was horrible, so I was worried that everyone would be like that. Then I got matched with Jerry and he's amazing! He strictly only works through writing, which actually fits my style perfectly. It felt like journalling, but having the journal write back! He gives thoughtful, timely responses and is willing to focus on whatever you prefer. He never talked down to me or made me feel inferior. He remembers details from earlier conversations, which helped me feel like I was being listened to. He talked to me like a real person, not like a stuffy professional. I really enjoy his humor as well and he calls it like it is. Jerry is amazing to work with and I highly recommend others to work with him!
Great and relevant feedback always.
Jerry has literally unlocked my previous personality and perspective on life back
I always feel like Jerry is in my corner and fighting for me. It's nice to receive that kind of support.
Jerry is kind and insightful. His insights helped me with a much needed clarity about the traumatic events in my past.
I like his method of chat because it worked well for me. It encouraged me to write and rewrite what I wanted to say a few times before actually sending it. This exercise helped my mind focus on what really matters and stay focused instead of getting carried away with a narrative which is what normally trends to happen to me when I talk. His methods helped me get a better and clearer perspective.
I am very appreciative of Jerry's help and I'm looking forward to a steady recovery from my depression.
Jerry listens, is not judgemental and very kind. He is understanding and gives great advice.
I'm so glad i found Jerry! In the midst of an excruciating breakup, I signed up for better help and chose Jerry because he mentioned in his profile that he approaches things with humor. I could find myself giggling through his messages despite the fact that I was in a deep depression. He is so attentive and I look forward to his messages as they always soothe me as I read them, isn't that what we all hope for in therapy? I feel comfortable bringing up anything, he's non-judgemental and speaks as if he's a long time friend who's got my back. I truly would not know how I would fare through this tough time if not for him, he's keeping my head up and I am so grateful.
He’s funny and engaging. He listens to my concerns and provides tools to help cope and deal with things. He checks in often even when I don’t have time to check back.
Jerry is amazingly helpful and welcoming.
He understand both sides whenever I talk about situations about a partner
Jerry is a great counselor, he listens to everything, and helps work out a plan for the future.
Jerry is a wonderful counselor and I have found him to be very helpful in navigating through some sticky relationship issues. He is kind, compassionate and often uses humor in his responses, which makes it so much easier to be open with him. I haven’t had a male therapist in a long time but I find him to be very open minded and supportive of my needs as a female. I’m so glad I made the decision to seek help at this time because it is truly making a positive difference in my life.
He’s direct and comforting. I’ve had no video conferencing and feel he was able to understand me through messages. Supportive.
Texting is not therapy. Very disappointed.
Jerry's the best! I just needed someone to vent to. Jerry was a real person. I mean, I expected the conversation to be very sterile, but he responded like a real friend. I just needed a friend to get through a rough patch. Jerry was a huge help. Give him a raise!
Jerry gives me applicable knowledge that I can use every day. It took time to warm up to him, but now I have and feel I can talk to him about anything!
Jerry has been super respectful of me and my problems. He offers many ideas to help and encourages me along the way. I didn’t think online therapy would help me but it has and I’m thankful for BetterHelp and Jerry to be here.
Jerry has been nothing but amazing. I am able to just let my mind pour into our conversations and he really does listen and give back wonderful feed back and advice. I've been one to hold back in the past sessions with other therapist (in office visits mainly), but not this time! BetterHelp and specifically Jerry has been the best therapy options for me. Thank!
I like Jerry, I’m still feeling him out and I think the same goes my way. Talking to him is kinda like having a friend that’s always on your side just to listen or give advice. He also seems to really care, and that’s all I need honestly.
Jerry is a very kind person. He’s direct and blunt, which I appreciate. I was looking for some support and guidance on what to do next and he gave me ideas and insights to think about. He is humorous and I enjoyed my time with him. I like his straightforward approach.
I was apprehensive and a little dismissive about the whole counselling thing but after making a choice to look after myself I’m glad I found Jeremy. I did have another counselor before, but I find Jeremy much easier to relate to. He is quite easy to relate to, speaks like he is from the real world but also maintains his professionalism and provides some different ways of thinking to help look at things from different angles. I feel quite at ease talking to him and relaxed that there’s no judgement regardless of what needs to be discussed.
Even though I just recently started working with Jerry Crimmins I am very pleased with how things are going! I feel confident and hopeful that he is able to help me find myself again. I never have to worry about a set schedule as he works with me when I am available and is always there to answer questions or concerns! I highly recommend Jerry Crimmins!
Jerry is an excellent counselor!
He is very professional and gives each client careful attention. Not only is he very timely in his responses, but proves he is listening and engaged. He reads every detail I write and responds thoroughly, providing guidance and support in anything i was going through. Jerry shares his perspective but does so with sensitivity.
I was so fortunate to have had Jerry as my counselor for three years! It's hard to put in to words how much his work affected me and helped me overcome (and excel) after a very difficult time in my life.
I can only say the best things of Jerry and his ability to provide the best service to each client. I highly recommend him to anyone needing counseling.
Jerry is very supportive! He continues to reach out and offer tools/resources to help you stay productive with your goals. In addition, provides therapeutic responses back to help you towards your goals.
Jerry is great! He listens and supports me while also giving me tools to better my mental state.
Wonderful therapist who is caring, compassionate, will challenge your thoughts and even add a little humor in the picture. Someone who is easy to talk with and responds in a timely manner. I have enjoyed his support to meet me where I am at and continue to help me make a better life for myself. I would highly recommend!
Jerry helped me get through a rough patch. I appreciate his input and checking in!
I have a lot of confidence in Jerry and I know that whatever my concerns are, he doesn’t judge. I deal with different issues everyday and he responds exactly based on what’s urgent and important. Counselling with him has helped me deal with the “outside world” better. I feel less of a need to vent on family & friends.
He is a wonderful part of my support group and is incredibly intelligent. He assists me when I'm having hard days and further encourages me on the better ones.
I think Jerry is really nice. I feel very comfortable talking to him and feel like the worksheets and tips he has been providing has been helpful when I remember to apply them to daily life situations.
Jerry is great! He helps me look at what I am going through from different directions and deal with some things that I would rather like to avoid. I appreciate that.
I am incredibly grateful for the chance to have had Jerry as my counselor. He is very knowledgeable, empathetic, and qualified for handling different situations in a nonjudgmental way. With his guidance, I was able to replace many of the negative thoughts I was having with more mindful observation and positive thoughts.
Some of the techniques we used were self-care, re-framing, and elements of CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy).
I feel much freer, removed from the paralysis of overthinking and self-doubt. I feel like I have the tools to move forward. Highly recommended.
I’ve been working with Jerry for over a year and with his help and guidance have navigated through one of the hardest situations of my life. He always addresses the important issues and has great advice for tough situations. Thanks so much!!!
Jerry is blunt and honest. He's not going to sugar coat what you're dealing with or what he sees happening. But he gives realistic support and ideas to help you work through what's going on.
Jerry always gives me very considerate responses and offers a very unique and thoughtful perspective on whatever I bring to him.
Jerry has been a massive help to me! I really struggle with in person counseling, but between Betterhelp, and Jerry's expert advice and timely responses, I feel heard for the first time in a while. His responses are well thought out and well written, and really help me get a handle on what makes me feel better. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Very supportive and ingenious counselor, he makes it easy to open up and has great responses to my random issues.
Jerry is a kind and very understanding. He takes into consideration of your troubles and make sure you know your safe in your own decisions.
My relationship with therapy has always been a negative one - I was talked into doing therapy when I wasn't ready for it, and it's always left a negative taste in my mouth. When I signed up for Better Help and was paired with Jerry, I was so surprised at how kind he was about my life. Always telling me that it was okay for me to unload all my thoughts and feelings - it felt foreign to me. I even cried the first few times I'd get messages back because I was so relieved someone was listening to me, and letting me know what I was feeling was all okay. When I found out Jerry only does therapy through messaging, I was even more relieved. This is the perfect way for me to feel comfortable with therapy - I'm able to get my thoughts out better by typing them out than I ever have been in real life. Jerry has always been understanding and has great insights on so many things. Any problem I have he'll instantly have a solution or a way I can combat the problem. I will never be able to thank him enough for all the things he has done to help me in my life.
Jerry is empathetic, funny, thoughtful, and incredibly understanding. He's a great communicator and has solid advice. I'm glad that I can talk to him and I feel like he really cares.
Jerry does an amazing job sorting through incredibly complex issues and presenting techniques and insights. I was impressed early on that the help he offered me was immediately and practically useful.
Jerry is very understanding, responsive, and professional. He is very committed to understanding the situation fully and finding a healthy way to deal with it. I definitely feel better after talking to him.
I feel like I'm not the best at putting everything into words, but from what I do get across, Jerry is very helpful. He also has helped me uncover some things, so I'm sure the longer I interact with him, the more I will learn about myself.
I appreciate his support.
I have been with BetterHelp for almost a year and a half and there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that I always have Jerry to turn too. Mental health is something that affects everyone in one way or another and just knowing someone is there helps. The fact that Jerry seems to actually care makes a massive difference. I can honestly say he has improved my life and helped me better understand myself.
I have been very satisfied with Jerry's help. I'm very thankful that he was there in my time of need.
Dr. Crimmins is always prompt to respond my messages, and clearly took the time to get to know me, my needs and what matters most to me. He is successful in counseling in the on-line platform and I would highly recommend him for people like myself who need or want a counselor but don't have time to go into a physical office. My primary reason for utilizing BetterHelp was depression and anxiety. I think he is certainly well versed in treating those issues. If memory serves, he has many other areas of expertise. I have found him to be great at helping me with anxiety and depression specifically, and presume he is at least as well versed in other areas wherein he lists expertise.
I plan to continue to utilize Dr. Crimmins for the near future and would/will recommend him to others - especially for depression and/or anxiety.
Jerry was a bright light in a dark time. His timely and helpful insights helped me after a bad break up of a long relationship. I’d recommend him to anybody.
Jerry is a great listener and communicator. I am lucky to have him as my counselor! He is great at knowing my concerns and helping me through them.
Jerry is so understanding and handles my everyday needs and helps me feel like a better person.
Jerry is a chill and a good listener. It's nice to have him check in on me.
Jerry is responsive and takes the time to type out well thought out responses. Not only are they supportive, but offer an understanding and steps to a solution.
I really enjoy working with Jerry. I haven't been on BetterHelp long, which means I haven't been working with Jerry long, but he makes it really easy to open up to him. He really cares about his clients' success, I can tell. I have never enjoyed working with a counselor as much as I enjoy working with Jerry.
Jerry has been very approachable and friendly. He is easy to talk to and understands my situation. He has helped me through difficult times and continues to help me improve myself.
Jerry takes the time to listen and always comes up with a working solution to problems. He is very good at what he does.
Jerry is wonderful to work with. It is amazing to know someone is there for me. He has a great sense of humor as well as knowledge. I have enjoyed my experience so far with Better Help!
Jerry is a totally "real" personable counselor. I feel completely confident in his input and advice. He pulls no punches and makes you feel as though there is true progress.
I am new to online therapy, and so far I have had a better experience with this than I have ever had in an in-person setting. The idea that I can send a message and Jerry responds when he's available is awesome, as his response so far has been far quicker than waiting for your in-person therapist to call you back or squeeze you in for an appointment if an issue arises. You don't get that kind of personalized care in a clinic. My experience so far has been an excellent one, and I highly recommend Jerry, and this type of counseling.
Jerry has been great about acknowledging my issues but providing me tools to deal with them in a productive manner. That is the type of help I was truly seeking.
Jerry has been great to talk to! He understands what my priorities and worries are and offers great advice and help in order to get through the tough times. I recommend him 100%!
Jerry is very understanding, nonjudgmental, and provides solid advice. I have found that he provides strategies that I can employ in my life that help me tackle the issues that caused me to seek therapy. I really enjoy his sense of humor and the way he can add a lighthearted feel to a message, even if the issue at hand maybe dark or very personal. This makes it very easy to interact with him and have a more fulfilling dialogue!
Jerry is understanding, funny, and extremely insightful! So far he's been better than the more traditional counselors I've dealt with.
Talking with Jerry and examining where my stresses come from has helped to greatly reduce my anxiety. I have not had or felt close to any kind of panic attacks since we've begun talking and I have a better picture of what I was letting get to me, and how to react better in highly stressful situations.
Jerry is both funny, thoughtful, and willing to get the job done. I was unsure about online therapy, but he has done a great job of being responsive and offering resources I can try and apply to my life. I'm very thankful for all his time!
Very happy with Jerry so far. He doesn't offer phone consultations and I was a bit hesitant at first if messaging will work for me. It worked great. Jerry has a very good idea of what I talking about, gives me very relevant advice, has a great sense of humor and I always look forward to hearing from him.
Its like having a very smart friend always available for you.
I highly recommend Jerry.
Jerry has been great in helping me deal with my anxiety and depression. He's helped me develop some good strategies to cope going forward. Definitely a good guy to talk to. (He's got a nice light sense of humour too).
Jerry is a great therapist!
Jerry is wonderful and understands my situation very well. He does not pressure me nor is he judgmental. He checks in with me to let me know he is there for me and is very helpful.
Jerry has been very helpful and honest. He has helped me think through situations and put things in a different perspective that I couldn't see. I would say my first experience with online counseling has been a good one.
Jerry has been thoughtful, insightful, kind, humorous. I felt at ease opening up and sharing my thoughts with him straight away and I am very glad to have done so as it allowed for conversations that were both emotionally comforting and useful in a practical way. I can tell that he reads my messages with great care, and puts time and effort into his responses, in order to help me move forward.
Jerry has been a godsend. His logical, humorous, rational, and compassionate words are so healing. I have recommended him to everyone I know!
After seeing a therapist in person for a year and not making much progress I stumbled across BetterHelp and was a little skeptical about how much online therapy could help but I felt hopeless and didn't have anything more to lose so thought I would explore it.
Jerry was incredibly insightful and was able to pick up on things that my current therapist didn't. He was direct, on point, knowledgable as well as encouraging, empathetic and someone I felt I could trust even though we had no face time. The resources and worksheets he shared were very helpful and I continue to use them. Most of all he gave me a potential diagnosis for a personality disorder so I will now be seeing a psychiatrist in person to get his evaluation and can finally move forward with getting the appropriate treatment.
Jerry is helpful, understanding, and is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend working with him.
Kind and helpful guidance, makes sure you know he's available anytime and provides good advice.
