More about Jeff

- LCMHC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in North Carolina with over 13 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients coping with a range of issues including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have also helped athletes, musicians and actors toward peak performance.
My counseling style is friendly, authentic, and warm. I strongly believe that everyone is fundamentally healthy and whole, and that therapy is about uncovering this fundamental health, not about focusing on pathology. I treat the person, not the "disease." My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, body-centered, contemplative, and psychodynamic approaches. When appropriate, I sometimes use EMDR and clinical hypnosis. I will tailor my approach based on what I feel is appropriate for you.
It's fantastic that you have taken the step of seeking help and support. I am honored to have the opportunity to assist you in your journey.
Looking forward to getting started together!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jeff is an empathetic, knowledgeable, and very down to earth therapist. I enjoy working with him very much!
Can’t say enough good things about Jeff. He is extremely wise, down to earth, kind, and authentic. Everything I’ve ever wanted out of a therapist. 100% recommend
He’s honestly the best, I’ve tried therapy before and I just didn’t mesh with my counselor but I am so glad that I tried again with Jeff
Jeff is amazing! He really listens and understands the issues that I present to him and he is instrumental in helping me discover solutions that have tremendously helped me. Can’t say enough about how much he has helped me grow and how much clarity I have gained by working with him.
I have been talking to Jeff for going on 2 years now and I have recommended the app and him as a therapist to so many people now. Jeff has helped me through some of the biggest life changes I have ever experienced and I am beyond grateful to have had him to talk to and help guide me to better, healthier choices.
Jeff is the greatest. He is extremely wise, relatable, and easy to talk to. He gives sage advice and also knows when to listen. Having seen many therapists in my time, I have never felt as comfortable or understood as I do with Jeff. And he’s the only one I’ve never met in the flesh! He is a top notch therapist with lots of professional and life experience. I highly encourage anyone, but especially young people looking for guidance, to contact him.
He’s does a great job of listening and asking great questions to keep the conversation going. He makes you feel comfortable to share and doesn’t put pressure on you.
Jeff is an intelligent, thoughtful counselor who understands my goals.
Jeff is literally the best. He's able to follow me through the crazy forest of my brain. A+
Jeff has been great so far. Does a good just giving recommendations to help with anxiety attacks. Will definitely continue working with him.
I have been working with Jeff for nearly 18 months now. He has continued to be instrumental in helping me understand my mental health better. Jeff has helped me build a toll box to handle the many wrenches life throws at us. I highly recommend better help and Jeff to anyone who is considering taking this step.
Jeff has been so kind and takes time to listen during our sessions and let’s me express myself without interrupting or rushing me.
Jeff is super easy to talk with and we have a great conversation every time
I’ve had quite a few negative experiences with therapy, but I’m so glad I gave BetterHelp a Hail Mary shot. Jeff is by far the best therapist I could have hoped for, and his support and insight have been invaluable to me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who asked!
Jeff is the man. He is an incredible listener and so full of wisdom. Often times I go into a session not knowing what I want to talk about, and end up babbling, but somehow always come away feeling like I have a new lens that I can look through. Talking to Jeff is like opening a window in a stuffy room, letting in dancing light and a gentle breeze. He’s funny, to the point, and really meets the client where they are at. Some have said that Jeff should get into voice acting. If you are a struggling teen or 20-something, Jeff can offer you the inspiration and relatability of your most badass piers, as well as the wisdom the comes with being an adventurous early middle age person. Seriously though. Jeff is an incredible person and therapist and I can’t give him enough praise and love.
Jeff is absolutely top notch. He’s prompt, understanding, informative and knowledgeable. He’s a great listener, and even better at helping you understand yourself and the things you may be feeling and trying to work through. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to better themselves and further understand how to properly process their feelings and thoughts on any particular situation they may be experiencing.
Jeff is wonderful and he’s helped me so much over this past year. I have recommended this app to so many people because of the help I received from Jeff.
Jeff has been awesome! I really value our time and have seen tangible ways that I’ve gotten healthier, more confident, and made stronger relations ships since starting counseling.
Jeff has an uncanny ability to lead me to a conclusion that I didn’t realize I needed to make when we started the session. He’s an excellent listener, and I appreciate the way that I feel like he’s “on my side” but also willing to make me take responsibility for myself. Even if I don’t go into our sessions with a specific concern or goal, I always feel so much better and lighter after we talk. He’s the only therapist I’ve ever encountered who I feel confident in. I got very lucky with my BetterHelp match!
Since working with Jeff I've become clearer in my mind, language, and understanding of my own process. His insights are sensitive and relevant, and have been crucial in my ability to set and hold healthy boundaries and make progress on my goals.
Jeff is a fantastic counselor. He’s so understanding and caring. He’s also firm when he needs to be. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He’s so helpful!
Jeff is insightful and I felt like I was talking to a friend.
Jeff is a great listener, and he has a way of articulating what he’s communicating in a very helpful way. He relates to, suggests, and validates situations all the time and I feel comfortable telling him what’s under the surface of what’s going on with me.
Jeff has been great for me. He has helped me work through some things that have been going on for a very long time and are starting to become much more manageable. I would highly recommend him
Jeff is amazing. I feel so comfortable with telling him anything and everything and he’s always so understanding and always gives helpful advice. He’s extremely kind and I recommend him to anyone.
Jeff is an amazing help to me!
The techniques I was given help with my anxiety helps me calm down.
I’m not a review writer and Jeff has a way about himself I couldn’t explained if I had a year and 10,000 words - but - from the smallest things like intonation to the biggest things like a thorough and deep understanding of all the wildness in my head and the tension it brought to my life — I feel like we talk and the time flies. I wish longer sessions were available even if it was like every fourth or fifth session.
Jeff has an amazingly positive and calming personality with great insight and a serene outlook on life. I was able to quickly develop a trustful therapeutic relationship with him, where both light-hearted and serious discussions helped me expand my insights into my own life and that of others.
Jeff is a sweet man. He’s caring and understanding. He listens and tries to help in any way possible. He offers a number of solutions. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Jeff! I look forward to continuing working with you.
Sometimes I can’t believe how well Jeff understands the tornado in my head. Although it seems like I mostly talk and he mostly listens his advice is thought out and always helpful. When we’ve had scheduling conflicts he’s always been flexible on his end.
Jeff is amazing. He is empathetic and understanding, encouraging and supportive. He will also make you laugh during your worst times. Everything you could want in a counselor.
Jeff is a calm and collected person who allows his expertise to relate things in a way which you can understand. He untangles your thoughts to help you better understand who you are and which way is best to go about and handle your problems. He doesn’t “fix” you he helps give you the tools to “heal” yourself. I’m very grateful for Jeff.
Jeff is an excellent counselor. He truly tries to understand the person and discusses issues in a supportive and direct way. I would recommend him to anyone like me who is struggling with anxiety. I've felt I can really share anything with him without judgement; he is extremely personable and gives insight that is more than just "do this worksheet". He offers unique advice to handle stress in day to day life. I've only had a few sessions with him, but I'm hopeful that our sessions will continue to help my progression as an individual.
I am so very fortunate to have been paired with Jeff as my counselor. He is amazing!
I am really lucky to have found Jeff. He listens, and responds in a way that makes you think of the big picture and dive into the root issue. He is amazing at what he does and I cant sing his praises enough. I have changed because of him.
