Gerald Crimmins is the best therapist I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few but I really connect with this guy. I don’t feel judged by him but at the same time I feel accountable and like I’m making progress in my life. I do feel like Jerry and his input helps me take steps towards milestones in my life and steps towards hindered development that hasn’t come to life yet from past traumas, or just old life limitations in my parents divorce or some of my other short comings. Jerry does a really good job of putting this into perspective and helping me realize priorities through introspection.

I've worked with Gerald since 2019 and couldn't have done the last 4 years without his help. He's always a great sounding board and has wonderful resources when I ask for them. I appreciate his collaborative style and that he doesn't give me homework or push doing live sessions - he's a gem.

Written on Jun 11, 2023 after therapy with Gerald for 10 months on issues concerning family conflicts
He is a great listener and offers many different ways to help confront your issues. He takes the time to listen and doesn't talk over you. My biggest fear with a therapist would be someone trying to fix me. I don't want to be fixed. I want to make improvements in my coping mechanisms to make me better, but not fixed. Anyone with an anxiety issue or others in that category should know that fixing isn't something that will happen. Ways to work with the issues to make them less of a for front problem where one can function and be a successful member of society is where I have always want to put my focus. Gerry helps with that tremendously. he doesn't want to fix me, because I'm not broken. He wants to help. I'm really happy to have found Gerry and look forward to the future on helping to improve myself.

Jerry was such a wonderful and attentive confidant whose wisdom was invaluable to me attaining some much-needed inner peace and refuge from anxiety.

This is my first time working with a therapist virtually and I 100% believe it is successful. I believe the key for me is connecting with my therapist, and I feel Jerry is perfect for me.

Written on Nov 08, 2021 after therapy with Gerald for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
I've been working with Jerry for about a year on issues related to social and performance anxiety. Jerry is an amazing counselor, he listens and makes you feel welcome. He's always in your corner, supporting you in your struggles, offering tools to deal with what plagues you. He frequently puts little touches of humour in his messages which provide some much needed levity. On rare occasions, he might even disagree with you, for your sake : he challenged me when I was stuck in a thought loop that was sterile, and resulted in inaction. He also responds very well to criticism. He is all around a very nice person who happens to have an expertise in Psychology, and who can help you out, if you give him the chance.
Written on Nov 03, 2021 after therapy with Gerald for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety
Jerry has been working with me for about 2 months now. I have had a lot of changes in my life, that have been very stressful. He allows me to just write away my thoughts and feelings, and sorts through them and gives back the advice and encouragement that I need to go through my day. For me, just writing down my thoughts helps me build a plan and he confirms if that plan is good, or how to tweak it to fit better. His sense of humor is such a refreshing insight on how to build things up. Best counselor I’ve had ever.

I tell Jerry some crazy shit and he still helps me out. I’ve been with Jerry for almost a year and I appreciate his responses. It seems like he puts a lot of thought into what he’s saying. Although sometimes it takes a day or 2 for a response, when it comes, it’s very nice to see his educated perspective. I’ve never talked about things that bothered me and didn’t even know where to start, but it’s been nice not feeling judged about the process.
Written on Oct 20, 2021 after therapy with Gerald for 9 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, and coping with life changes
Knowing it was time for me to reach out for help, I was glad for the recommendation to try Better Help. The first therapist I was auto-matched with didn't work out at all. Pouring through the options, I selected Jerry for the positive reviews from people working through similar issues I am, and for his profile with the use of words like "compassion" and "sensitivity." I was feeling very raw and vulnerable when I started seeing Jerry. He validated the "what" and "why" behind those feelings, as well as find some ways to move forward. He's quite candid to the point of being blunt, which I personally and greatly appreciate and thank him for it often. He's also kind and thoughtful, which is a difficult balance to maintain. He always seems to know when I need more validation on certain issues versus general recognition. While I don't quite know what's in my future, I feel like I have more options and more strength to draw on than when I first met him 7 weeks ago. Thank you for everything Jerry!

As a medical professional going through some challenges at work and in education, I highly recommend Jerry. He responded to me in an efficient and timely manner. Within two sessions, I can see he was a spot-on diagnosis. I was very reluctant to find a counselor after a one-time unpleasant experience in local office-based service. However, after my experience with jerry, I completely changed my opinion on counseling and counselors. I'm lucky that I gave it a second try!

I was super sceptical about receiving therapy from Jerry purely because I felt I wouldn’t be able to communicate my issues effectively through messaging. However, I have been really really pleasantly surprised so far. He responds in decent time and replies to everything I’ve written so nothing I say feels ignored. I feel like I am making progress and I’m feeling hopeful I will continue to feel better mentally with his help.

Jerry is the best therapist/counselor I’ve ever had! I’ve had issues with other therapists but he makes me feel seen, heard, and supports me in ways that others wouldn’t. Jerry finds ways to relate to how I’m feeling, and is ready to brainstorm solutions when I am asking for help! His encouragement and faith that I can make changes for the better really motivate me when I struggle to see immediate growth!

Wonderful!
I was apprehensive, because the way he does therapy is only through messaging; however, this turned out to work amazing for me. I had no excuse to miss an appointment, because it was just right there. I could message whenever I wanted (especially when in an emotional moment). Messages back and forth are lengthy. We talk about various issues and he responds back to EVERYTHING I write. You can tell he really takes his time to respond in a way that he knows will be helpful. It is challenging for me to find a therapist I like, because I am a counselor myself. He is truly the first one to call my BS, challenge my thinking patterns, boost my self esteem a little, and also relate back to me. Would highly recommend.

I was very hesitant to try therapy through the site with messaging only since I have done years of in-person or video therapy, but I really have enjoyed this so far. I like having tasks to do during the week through worksheets and goals, it helps so much. I highly recommend Jerry, his responses are always thoughtful, helpful, caring and just make me feel like there's someone rooting for me. He's really great and I am so grateful to have found him.

Jerry is kind, thoughtful, and encouraging. I am very glad I joined Betterhelp and actually found the right counselor for me. He is easy to talk to and listens to EVERY detail. He is helpful and very relatable. I look forward to a reply.

I was going through an awful breakup and when the person that I usually went to when I needed to be calmed down left my life, Jerry was an amazing person to share my worries and concerns with while I was coping with my loss. I cannot recommend Jerry enough to tackle problems head on.

Jerry does a great job of replying to all parts of my messages. He validates my concerns and offers different strategies to help me. His technique is strictly messaging, which is something I’ve never tried before, but it’s nice to be able to think about what I want to say before I send it. I also really love that I’m able to save the messages we send so I can look back at them and reread them if needed.

I feel like Jerry is really helping me in the areas that need attention, and are the reason I was seeking help. He provides thoughtful feedback and is easy to communicate with. However, his style of therapy is not for everyone, I was at first unsure if just writing back and forth (no video/calls) would work well for me, but I am really enjoying it, and do feel it is helpful to me.

Formulaic. Distant. A reason I give up on counseling. Reaffirmation that I'm not understandable.

Written on Nov 21, 2020 after therapy with Gerald for 2 weeks on issues concerning grief, and self esteem
I have really enjoyed working with Jerry! My first match on Better Help was horrible, so I was worried that everyone would be like that. Then I got matched with Jerry and he's amazing! He strictly only works through writing, which actually fits my style perfectly. It felt like journalling, but having the journal write back! He gives thoughtful, timely responses and is willing to focus on whatever you prefer. He never talked down to me or made me feel inferior. He remembers details from earlier conversations, which helped me feel like I was being listened to. He talked to me like a real person, not like a stuffy professional. I really enjoy his humor as well and he calls it like it is. Jerry is amazing to work with and I highly recommend others to work with him!

Written on Oct 01, 2020 after therapy with Gerald for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, and adhd
Jerry is kind and insightful. His insights helped me with a much needed clarity about the traumatic events in my past.
I like his method of chat because it worked well for me. It encouraged me to write and rewrite what I wanted to say a few times before actually sending it. This exercise helped my mind focus on what really matters and stay focused instead of getting carried away with a narrative which is what normally trends to happen to me when I talk. His methods helped me get a better and clearer perspective.
I am very appreciative of Jerry's help and I'm looking forward to a steady recovery from my depression.

I'm so glad i found Jerry! In the midst of an excruciating breakup, I signed up for better help and chose Jerry because he mentioned in his profile that he approaches things with humor. I could find myself giggling through his messages despite the fact that I was in a deep depression. He is so attentive and I look forward to his messages as they always soothe me as I read them, isn't that what we all hope for in therapy? I feel comfortable bringing up anything, he's non-judgemental and speaks as if he's a long time friend who's got my back. I truly would not know how I would fare through this tough time if not for him, he's keeping my head up and I am so grateful.

Jerry is a wonderful counselor and I have found him to be very helpful in navigating through some sticky relationship issues. He is kind, compassionate and often uses humor in his responses, which makes it so much easier to be open with him. I haven’t had a male therapist in a long time but I find him to be very open minded and supportive of my needs as a female. I’m so glad I made the decision to seek help at this time because it is truly making a positive difference in my life.

I was apprehensive and a little dismissive about the whole counselling thing but after making a choice to look after myself I’m glad I found Jeremy. I did have another counselor before, but I find Jeremy much easier to relate to. He is quite easy to relate to, speaks like he is from the real world but also maintains his professionalism and provides some different ways of thinking to help look at things from different angles. I feel quite at ease talking to him and relaxed that there’s no judgement regardless of what needs to be discussed.

Jerry is an excellent counselor!
He is very professional and gives each client careful attention. Not only is he very timely in his responses, but proves he is listening and engaged. He reads every detail I write and responds thoroughly, providing guidance and support in anything i was going through. Jerry shares his perspective but does so with sensitivity.
I was so fortunate to have had Jerry as my counselor for three years! It's hard to put in to words how much his work affected me and helped me overcome (and excel) after a very difficult time in my life.
I can only say the best things of Jerry and his ability to provide the best service to each client. I highly recommend him to anyone needing counseling.

I have a lot of confidence in Jerry and I know that whatever my concerns are, he doesn’t judge. I deal with different issues everyday and he responds exactly based on what’s urgent and important.

I am incredibly grateful for the chance to have had Jerry as my counselor. He is very knowledgeable, empathetic, and qualified for handling different situations in a nonjudgmental way. With his guidance, I was able to replace many of the negative thoughts I was having with more mindful observation and positive thoughts.
Some of the techniques we used were self-care, re-framing, and elements of CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy).
I feel much freer, removed from the paralysis of overthinking and self-doubt. I feel like I have the tools to move forward. Highly recommended.

Written on Oct 23, 2018 after therapy with Gerald for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
My relationship with therapy has always been a negative one - I was talked into doing therapy when I wasn't ready for it, and it's always left a negative taste in my mouth. When I signed up for Better Help and was paired with Jerry, I was so surprised at how kind he was about my life. Always telling me that it was okay for me to unload all my thoughts and feelings - it felt foreign to me. I even cried the first few times I'd get messages back because I was so relieved someone was listening to me, and letting me know what I was feeling was all okay. When I found out Jerry only does therapy through messaging, I was even more relieved. This is the perfect way for me to feel comfortable with therapy - I'm able to get my thoughts out better by typing them out than I ever have been in real life. Jerry has always been understanding and has great insights on so many things. Any problem I have he'll instantly have a solution or a way I can combat the problem. I will never be able to thank him enough for all the things he has done to help me in my life.

I have been with BetterHelp for almost a year and a half and there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that I always have Jerry to turn too.

Dr. Crimmins is always prompt to respond my messages, and clearly took the time to get to know me, my needs and what matters most to me. He is successful in counseling in the on-line platform and I would highly recommend him for people like myself who need or want a counselor but don't have time to go into a physical office. My primary reason for utilizing BetterHelp was depression and anxiety. I think he is certainly well versed in treating those issues. If memory serves, he has many other areas of expertise. I have found him to be great at helping me with anxiety and depression specifically, and presume he is at least as well versed in other areas wherein he lists expertise.
I plan to continue to utilize Dr. Crimmins for the near future and would/will recommend him to others - especially for depression and/or anxiety.

I am new to online therapy, and so far I have had a better experience with this than I have ever had in an in-person setting. The idea that I can send a message and Jerry responds when he's available is awesome, as his response so far has been far quicker than waiting for your in-person therapist to call you back or squeeze you in for an appointment if an issue arises. You don't get that kind of personalized care in a clinic. My experience so far has been an excellent one, and I highly recommend Jerry, and this type of counseling.

After seeing a therapist in person for a year and not making much progress I stumbled across BetterHelp and was a little skeptical about how much online therapy could help but I felt hopeless and didn't have anything more to lose so thought I would explore it.
Jerry was incredibly insightful and was able to pick up on things that my current therapist didn't. He was direct, on point, knowledgable as well as encouraging, empathetic and someone I felt I could trust even though we had no face time. The resources and worksheets he shared were very helpful and I continue to use them. Most of all he gave me a potential diagnosis for a personality disorder so I will now be seeing a psychiatrist in person to get his evaluation and can finally move forward with getting the appropriate treatment.
