I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Arkansas and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Texas. Having taken the first big step already, take the next step and reach out. It won't be easy but finally getting the life you so deserve would be worth it. In our first week or two together, you may feel nervous but also relieved to finally have a safe space to share your struggles. This is normal. As your therapist, I will listen without judgment and offer practical tools to help you begin to manage your anxiety, build healthy relationships that thrive, and begin to set healthy boundaries for yourself. As you continue with therapy, you'll learn how to prioritize your own needs and assert yourself in relationships. It's not easy, and some days it feels like you're taking two steps forward and one step back. But I want you to know that healing is a process that takes time. It won't happen overnight as your problems didn't happen overnight. TRUST THE PROCESS! Remember to be kind to yourself. You're doing the hard work of taking care of yourself and breaking old patterns. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

Hello! I am so glad that you reached out to us for help. I am FreEtta Nelson-Hemphill, and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. Most of my clients refer to me as "Fritzi". You are welcome to do so also! I have worked with many individuals with diverse cultural identities and backgrounds over the past 20 years. My job is to help you become successful in any problem areas that have come up for you at this point in your life. To do this, I will spend time listening to you and asking questions in order to get a "picture" of your life. I want to understand what is working and what is not. After we do this, we can take the information that you have given me and establish your therapy goals. Psychotherapy has both benefits and risks. It requires an investment of time and energy in order to make your process successful. I will, most often, approach our work together from a Cognitive Behavioral Treatment perspective. I believe: Oh Yeah! You can handle this! When you are able to those adjust or restructure those thought patterns and behavior (s) that are precipitating and maintaining the problem area(s), you will see the change you desire. I look forward to meeting you in this season of your journey.

I am a psychotherapist, also known as a professional counselor, licensed in Arkansas, the state where I live. For over 22 years, I have used my skills, education, knowledge, and experience to help children, adolescents (many of whom were at-risk and/or emotionally troubled youth) from the ages of 7 to 18 years old and adults from 19 years of age and older, individually and/or with their families. Many of them were in psychiatric hospitals and residential facilities, and I saw others in their homes or in my office. I enjoy helping each of my clients work through their issues to resolve even the most difficult problems and conflicts. The last three years of my 22 plus years of experience I have gotten by helping clients through BetterHelp. I took a brief three month leave in 2023 from June through September. I am eager to help more clients from BetterHelp. In approach to psychotherapy, I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), reality therapy, and psychoanalysis that I have modified to fit the individual needs of every child, adolescent, adult, and family I see. I use the first three to five sessions with each client to build the positive rapport between us that is needed for us to have a mutual relationship of trust and confidentiality. I show my respect for each of my clients by using a respectful tone of voice, keeping my interactions positive and maintaining a nonjudgmental attitude. I have found that doing so makes it much easier for each client to disclose very personal and often uncomfortable issues, emotions, and behaviors. I also use my empathic and sympathetic skills to understand each client's problem(s) from his/her individual point of view, and I make sure each of my clients understands the pros and cons of every choice he/she makes. Using that approach has enabled me to help many children, adolescents, and adults to resolve their family conflicts, anger control problems, overcome depression, cope with anxiety, raise their self-esteem, work through unresolved abuse (whether it physical, emotional, or sexual), grief over losing a loved one whether by death or some other way, oppositional problems, ADHD, and social issues (IE, social anxiety, or poor social skills) to name a few. I have done so in a wide range of settings including an outpatient office, the client's home, or school. on inpatient acute care psychiatric units and in long-term residential care programs. I respect anyone who makes the tough decision to face and overcome these types of problems. I understand these are often exceedingly difficult problems that usually involve disclosing extremely difficult, unpleasant, and uncomfortable things to share with anyone. By doing so, you have taken the important first step to obtaining the happy and successful life you want, need, and deserve. I understand that sometimes a person needs to be listened to and understood. You can express your feelings without worrying about whether or not I will judge you. I won't. Instead, I will listen to what you have to say, the feelings you need to express and ask you for clarification if needed. I will help you figure out if you only need one to three sessions to get your feelings off your chest or if you need help working through and resolving the problem(s) that led you to online counseling through BetterHelp. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to help you take on and overcome the challenging but equally rewarding changes that lie ahead! Sincerely, Dunn Jones, III, MA, LPC, NBCC

After spending 18 years in education, I began my career in mental health as a case manager and admissions coordinator. After 3 years, I obtained my masters in social work and began working as a therapist. I have experience in geriatric and adult in-patient psych, as well as outpatient, day treatment, and school-based services. My youngest client has been 3 years of age while my oldest has been 99. I love working with people and feel as though I've always connected well with all ages.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas in Arlington and I have worked as a therapist for 30 years. I have experience working with people from all backgrounds, ages, and different challenges . I have worked with clients with a variety of problems including anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, depression, and isolation and loneliness. I believe that feeling comfortable and connected with a therapist is one of the most important aspects of making progress in therapy. I use a client centered approach in therapy as well as cognitive behavioral therapy. I encourage my clients to take action to make changes in their lives that will help them improve, but I also realize that there are some people who just need to talk to someone. I believe your thoughts, feelings, and problems are important and being able to talk to someone about them can be very healing. I am here to listen and to help you get through your difficult times and reach your desired therapy goals.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and have been helping individuals seek life solutions for over 10 years. I enjoy helping clients work on a variety of issues but am especially passionate about helping women overcome issues related to anxiety and life changes (relationship, motherhood, menopause, etc). Methods that I have found particularly effective for clients in therapy include but are not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. For couples and relationship therapy I draw from the Gottman Method to guide the progression. Each client is unique and therapy is planned around the client’s needs and goals. I feel that trust in the therapeutic relationship is the basis for our work together and we will start out investing time to build that relationship. I am hopeful that through a strong therapeutic alliance and evidence-based methods we can make excellent progress toward your goals. Let’s work together to find joy and value in your life that you never thought possible!

Thank you so much for giving me your consideration when it comes to your mental health. I know it can be a lot to think about trusting someone with all of the thoughts and feelings! Let me take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Scotty, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Arkansas. I've been doing this for 15 years and have experience with adults and children, individuals, couples, and families. I also have experience with adults and children with special needs. I take a cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approach, and can implement a faith-based perspective as well, if that's what you're looking for. My primary focus throughout the therapy process is person-to-person connection. If we don't have that, we won't make progress, and progress is why we're here! I look forward to meeting you. Talk to you soon.

I believe that a sense of compassion is essential in dealing with life's challenges, and I take my work and my clients seriously. Seeking help is difficult enough, and it's my job to make the process easier by offering my clients a warm, empathic, and safe place to address their challenges and concerns. If you are struggling with a particular issue, or simply looking for a safe place to express yourself, I'm excited to begin the process with you. I am a clinical psychologist with 17 years of experience, and am currently licensed in Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas. I was excited to join the BetterHelp team because I have always believed that mental health services are more effective in a range of formats, and in a manner that makes them accessible anytime and anywhere. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and adjusting to many of the challenges life throws our way. I utilize a client-centered approach (meaning that YOU are the expert on you) that will allow you to identify your own strengths and resources, as well as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based and dialectical behavior therapeutic approaches. I look forward to speaking with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in both Arkansas and Texas. I have over 13 years of experience as a social worker dedicated to helping others learn tools that they can put in their emotional toolbox to use when needed. I work with both adults and couples who want to not only process what they are going through but also learn about themselves in order to discover what tools they need to grow. I am a little different than what you probably think of when you consider going to a therapist, but this is a good thing. I will tailor your therapy experience to your unique personality and way of dealing with emotions or struggles that you may encounter in life. This will allow you to discover your strengths and how you can use them to overcome your current circumstance.

I am licensed in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee with over 23 years of mental health work and over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
