Hello, Thank you for reading my profile. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor / LPC in the states of Florida, New York and New Jersey. I have over 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. The majority of my experience has been with victims of trauma, sexual abuse or rape. I also specialized in men's issues. I also have experience working with clients who have HIV/AIDS . Coming from a multicultural military family, I understand the stressors and situations that come from being in a military lifestyle. I also understand the challenges that come with being multicultural. I offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental environment for each individual to express themselves openly and address the issues of concern. Although I do follow the therapeutic approach of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am eclectic in my therapeutic approach, based on the fact that each person I meet with is a unique individual. so as a therapist I must adapt to your needs and provide assistance and insight into the issues that are causing you concern. Remember that therapy is the first big step to freedom, and I appreciate your courage. I look forward to working with you!

Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Jocelyn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The College of Saint Elizabeth (currently known as Saint Elizabeth University) . I have been licensed for over 16 years. This degree has enabled me to learn many skills and techniques to help you with the concerns that you choose to work on. I worked in a domestic violence safe house for over twelve years and have learned about the commonalities and differences in relationships, and how the lack of communication, empowerment, self-esteem, and co-dependency can affect relationships and how these can affect us as we go through our daily lives. It is not only romantic relationships that need our attention; our relationships with family, friends, and co-workers often need attention. As an LPC , I use Client-Centered Therapy as my main mode of therapy which means that I will listen to your concerns and we will work together to come up with a plan for your particular concerns. I am an empathic listener, and my main goal is to learn who you are as a person as soon as possible because the better I get to know you, the more easily and quickly we can begin our work together. As a counselor , it is my intention to assist my clients in changing their lives for the better, and to move their lives and relationships in a positive direction. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you find your best self and to help you find your individuality. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy as needed, and I also use Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. Making the decision to seek counseling is very difficult. I commend you for taking this first step! I look forward to working with you!

I teach clients strategies and techniques to reinforce their inner strengths as well as to better cope with their current situations/issues. After each session, you will not only gain the tools to carefully examine each life decision but a much-needed serenity that will help you through the process.
