About me
I have been providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and families for over 11 years in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, outpatient and group therapy. I have extensive experience treating trauma survivors, behavioral difficulties and mood-related disorders.
My approach consists of building a strong, trusting relationship and using my clients' strengths and interests to collaboratively work toward achieving treatment goals. I focus on what is important to the client, and provide honest feedback and support that enables self-discovery and growth. I strongly believe that we all possess the tools within ourselves that we need to live our best lives, and that sometimes we just need some assistance discovering this. I work from a place of everyone deserving respect, dignity, and to be heard, and most importantly that all feelings are valid, no matter what anyone has told you!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. The combination of these skills enables me to work with clients to understand not only how they think and feel, but also how to make meaningful, lasting behavior changes that can be life altering.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joan Webster. 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.
I highly recommend Joan, although part of me wants to say I don’t because I don’t want her to be too busy for our sessions! Lol I’m joking, of course I recommend her!! But like people are different, some might fit some might not. I recommend BetterHelp.com to everyone in my family and friends too. It’s easy to use, and consistent, customer service is 110%
My issue earlier in the year was due to the pandemic, not BetterHelp, and I was taken care of very well. Unlike many other companies, I feel I am a valued customer and the purpose of BetterHelp is to truly do just that. Help you live a better life, with the diverse options and times to talk to your counselor. I really haven’t found a psychologist lately that has been a fit for me, until Joan! So I am happy everything happened before because it does take time to find someone who is right for you. Perhaps that is a good thing to mention to new customers, who like I did, expect a match right away. It’s easy to forget that you need to figure out who works best for you when you’re having a tough time mentally and just want relief of any kind or someone to make sense of what’s going on with you.
Thank you better help for everything and thank you Joan she is amazing
