I enjoy taking a client-centered approach. This is where we work together to focus on things that will help you reach your goals. In some cases, that can include things such as changing your current situation, creating practical tools that benefit lowering your stress levels if the situation can or cannot be changed, setting and achieving goals that will fulfill you, and working on your life achievements.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Johnny Jefferson. 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.
Very easy to talk to. He is really good at holding his clients accountable and helps them succeed without babying them. He analyzes critically and directly, goal oriented in approach, articulates expectations, and his positive reinforcement feels genuine and earned.
