Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp!
My name is Jocelyn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The College of Saint Elizabeth (currently known as Saint Elizabeth University) . I have been licensed for over 15 years. This degree has enabled me to learn many skills and techniques to help you with the concerns that you choose to work on.
I worked in a domestic violence safe house for over twelve years and have learned about the commonalities and differences in relationships, and how the lack of communication, empowerment, self-esteem, and co-dependency can affect relationships and how these can affect us as we go through our daily lives. It is not only romantic relationships that need our attention; our relationships with family, friends, and co-workers often need attention.
As an LPC , I use Client-Centered Therapy as my main mode of therapy which means that I will listen to your concerns and we will work together to come up with a plan for your particular concerns. I am an empathic listener, and my main goal is to learn who you are as a person as soon as possible because the better I get to know you, the more easily and quickly we can begin our work together. As a counselor , it is my intention to assist my clients in changing their lives for the better, and to move their lives and relationships in a positive direction. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you find your best self and to help you find your individuality.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy as needed, and I also use Motivational Interviewing when appropriate.
Making the decision to seek counseling is very difficult. I commend you for taking this first step! I look forward to working with you!

Joyce is a therapist who definitely listens to your concerns and offers ideas as to how to address them. I never feel rushed in my sessions. She is easy to talk to.

Jocelyn is very thorough and helpful trying to get to the roots of my issues. You can tell she really cares about her patients the way she takes time to go over and explain everything.

I love her! I haven't had the best experience with my first 2 therapists on here, but Jocelyn is always on time and I love how she makes me think and learn things about myself that I haven't realized. She listens and gives feedback which is a must for what I want in a therapist. The exercises she provides are also helpful. I feel a lot better inside having met her.
