Margaret Paine
I graduated with a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am licensed in NY State as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am licensed in SC as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). My professional life has included working in a community Mental Health clinic with people of all ages and backgrounds. In this role I have encountered a variety of life stages and situations, such as depression, anxiety, stress and trauma related issues, career exploration, caregiver fatigue, developmental disabilities, anger management, self-esteem issues, and substance use issues. I use concepts from Cognitive Behavior therapy, in which we will look at the interplay between thoughts, feelings and actions and how unhelpful thoughts can pull us down emotionally and drive our behaviors in unhealthy ways. In knowing these things, we can adjust unhelpful thoughts and develop actions plans that will help you move forward on your goals. I also use a person-centered /positive psychological approach. I am here to listen with compassion and empathy and I strive to provide a warm, open space - free of judgement. I am available through messages which I will check daily, along with live chat, video sessions or phone sessions. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. My schedule may not accurately reflect all available sessions, so please message me if you need something other than what's available. I look forward to working with you!

Christine Jones
Hello! My name is Christine Jones and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 22 years. I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work and Criminal Justice from the State University of New York at Albany. I am currently a high school school social worker in New York, and have provided counseling to adults in this role. I worked for many years with middle school aged students and their families, as well. Prior to beginning my work in the public school system 17 years ago, I provided therapy to adolescents and teens working through behavioral and substance abuse challenges. In all of these positions, I worked with their families, as many of the parents and caregivers utilized the counseling I provided. I work to develop a collaborative relationship with my clients. I will spend time learning about you, as well as what has helped you work through difficult times in the past. We all possess different skills, strengths, and strategies we know work best for us, and I will try to empower you to find (or revive!) these strengths within yourself as part of the counseling process. I can also help you identify barriers that may be getting in the way for you, or may be contributing to you feeling "stuck". I can help you move forward in a variety of areas of your life, including in your role as an a spouse, a parent, a friend, an employee, a supervisor, or within any other significant relationship or role you would like to move in a more positive or different direction with. I currently work with individuals who struggle with managing their emotions and responses to situations, as well as people who grapple with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, loneliness, stress management, technology addiction, alcohol and substance abuse, PTSD, trauma/abuse, LGBTQ issues, medical issues, caregiver stress, and ADHD. My warm and conversational approach combines solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Welcome to Better Help and I truly look forward to working with you and learning more about you!
