Work with Penny Gifford (MS, LAC, LCPC) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

Penny has really helped me identify some of the most prominent issues in my life and has given me the tools to fix them on my own. Saying I appreciate her would be an understatement, and I couldn't put it into words how much the experience has meant to me and my family. I thank her for all of her support during our sessions and want to give her all the credit in the world for helping me take charge of my life!

There is never a session with Penny where I don’t leave feeling more at ease than when I started. She’s always so great at helping me to build the strategies I need for success, and also just being a kind ear when I need to talk it out and figure things out for myself. Penny has been there for me through multiple big changes/decisions in my life, and I’m so grateful to have had her compassionate and caring guidance. I came to better help with lots of anxiety surrounding therapy and Penny has been the perfect counselor to put me at ease with all of that and help me to actually move forward. I see real, positive change in myself since I’ve began my sessions with her.
