Jenna Lopez
Hello and welcome! I am happy you are here and making yourself a priority. Asking for help is difficult and scary, but here you are doing it anyway. Better Help is a great place to start your journey. My name is Jenna and I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I have been working as a Social Worker in the mental health field for going on 15 years. Throughout this time I have worked to remove the stigma around mental health in order to take the shame away from acknowledging our humanity and seeking help when we are struggling. I use a client centered and strengths based approach in assisting humans to reach their desired goals. I believe You are the expert on your life and the life you want. I am a support and my expertise a resource that can enable you to make these dreams come alive. I have spent the majority of my Social Work career working with individuals who have experienced trauma, are coping with symptoms of major mental health disorders and individuals struggling with issues around their sexual orientation or gender identity. Through this work I have come to view myself as a healer or someone who can sit with others through the examination of their deepest pain and sorrow. Helping them to process through these difficult emotions and learn how to find the hope for a better tomorrow. A corner stone of my clinical philosophy is to come from a nonjudgemental stance. It is my priority to create a space in which my clients can feel free to express themselves without shame. Therapy can not work without honesty. Clients need to feel they are able to be honest with themselves and with me. They can only achieve this if there is no fear of judgement. As a Social Worker I am also very action oriented and love to problem solve. Using my skills as an advocate and broker I am great at assisting others in developing action plans and connecting to resources in order to reach their goals. Words that have frequently been used by my clients to describe me are; compassionate, joyful, loving and enthusiastic. I am here to help in whatever way you feel is best for you! Call, message or video chat with me when you are ready.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nebraska and I have 6 years of experience. I understand that reaching out for support and asking for help can be intimidating, but I am here to listen without judgement so that we can work together to develop a plan to address your concerns and discover solutions. I enjoy helping people make changes in their lives and seeing them become successful. I approach each individual with respect and openness. I like to use a strengths based perspective in my work to help people dig a little deeper from within so they can find characteristics or skills they might not even know about themselves. I enjoy listening to the story the the individual is willing to share, that way I can meet them where they are at. The longest experience I have had for Social Worker Clinical work is within with Correctional setting. I assisted incarcerated individuals who were ready to be released into the community create discharge plans so that they would be prepared to do well and be successful once released. While I worked in Corrections I was also able to gain valuable therapeutic skills by assisting clients with Anger Management, Coping with life changes, Domestic Violence concerns, some Sex offender discharge planning issues and treatment, Women's issues, Anxiety, Trauma, and Isolation. I can interact with you for sessions via video, phone or messaging. Keep in mind that working through video conferencing would be very helpful to get to know each other. My availability would consist of evenings on the weekends for right now, but I plan to check my messages at least once a day. I have been trained in motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and Dialectical Behavioral Treatment. I know how important it is to find the right therapist to meet your needs. I wish you the very best in your search for not only the right therapist for you but also the first step towards change in your life. I look forward to working with you!

Luke Meier
Hello, my name is Luke. I am a 38-year-old father and husband who has been counseling since 2013. I was in the military from 2003-2010 and previously worked at a veterans hospital. Along with my counseling education and experience with various individuals, I have a Master's Degree in Theological Studies. Studying theology helps me incorporate these beliefs into sessions. I have experience in substance abuse disorders, including pornography addiction and eating disorders. I have experience with depression management, anxiety, mindfulness techniques, practical coping skills, and providing a listening ear. My areas of employment include substance abuse and mental health in treatment centers, private practice, and contract work. I have a TEDxLincoln talk titled Avoiding the Quick Fix from my experience as a nutritional counselor and have a few published pieces in those areas as well. Though I am formally trained in MI, MET, DBT, CBT, ACT, EMDR, and many other acronyms, my approach is to be constantly curious about your life. I like to ask difficult questions getting you to reflect on your thinking. I like to address behaviors both of us notice that interfere with what you want in life. You are the expert in your life. Therapy is not a teaching moment where I am right, and you listen, but rather something we explore together. Overall, therapy is a relationship. You should feel comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind with your therapist. Please, choose someone you connect with rather quickly. I look forward to meeting with you and viewing old, stagnant beliefs in your life differently.
