Hello there! My name is Jeff Eastman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have lots of experience working with people of different ages and from different backgrounds. I have provided counseling for combat veterans and their families, conducted assessments in an emergency room and psychiatric hospital, and have worked with youth in a residential program. I am also a certified trauma counselor. This wide range of experience means that I will likely be able to assist you with whatever you are dealing with.
I am a husband, a father, a son, an employee, and a person with issues of my own. I bring not only my education and experience to the therapy session; I bring my own experiences that have made me stronger. With me as your counselor, you are working with someone who has “been there.” Maybe not in your exact situation, but I have been in counseling and I always seek to draw from my own experiences as a client to be a better counselor.
I also have two special-needs daughters, both Type 1 diabetics; one has autism and the other has PTSD. So in addition to knowing what it is like to be a client, I also know the struggles of parenting special-needs children, and all that goes with that. If you are in this situation, you will receive compassion and understanding from someone who is living right in the middle of that struggle as well.
I look forward to the honor of walking with you on whatever journey it is you are on. I can’t promise that it will be easy, but I can tell you that it will be worth it.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I would like to talk yo him a bit more before really giving a good review
It’s been really great to talk with Jeff. He really listens and has a lot of experience. He really listens and offers super helpful worksheets and discussion for life in general and specifically anxiety in my case. It’s been just what I’ve needed!
Very professional and helpful. Would strongly recommend.
Jeff really listens and understands my needs and concerns, and offers not only great advice and support, but additional resources that may be of help.
Listens and catches what I'm trying to say and reflects back with skill.
Very happy with Jeff and our sessions
Jeff is fantastic!
Thank you for the faithful service to fellow believers and the thoroughness that is not compromised along the way
Been amazing!!
Jeff was good to work with! He is smart, focused, understanding, and responsive. He kept me on track during my short time-frame, then provided me with resources to continue with my healing.
love the dude very professional n friendly feel like we're good buds an he seems ta know it all solid fella
Only one visit down, and he's truly amazing at what he does.
I've been in and out of therapy my whole life however this is my first time using online therapy and to be honest at first I was a bit hesitant. At the very least, I assumed I was going to have to go through several therapist before I found one that was somewhat decent. But I must say, my expectations were blown out of the water. I was matched with a great therapist right off the bat. I can honestly say, that after several sessions, he is one of the best therapist I've had throughout my whole life experience of going to therapy. He is not only a great listener he also knows exactly what to say and when to say it and his expertise in all the areas that I'm struggling with showed immediately and I have no doubt that I'm in good hands. I now have recommended better help to everyone I know including my mother, who is a therapist, herself. My only regret is that I didn't start betterhelp and talking to Jeff sooner. This is definitely an app that every single person could use at least once in their life. And Jeff is a therapist I would recommend to absolutely anyone, as he knows what he's doing and he can definitely help.
Great guy! Very relatable and understanding.
Thanks Jeff for your ear and advice. You have played a big part my healing process!!
He is personable and has insight into the unconventional household and dynamics.
Jeff is caring, provides great feedback, asks thoughtful questions, and relates his own experiences to mine, which I find especially helpful.
He has such a great perspective and asks questions to get me to think about things differently. He lets me come to my own conclusion and navigate challenges while supporting me.
It was a pleasure chatting with Jeff about major life changes and learning new methods of how to adjust to the changes. He gave me a new perspective on a few things that I never thought about before. I'm grateful to Jeff for helping me navigate through difficult time. He is very patient and very understanding, listens and responds appropriately.
Jeff has been so great to work with. I found it easy to open up to him and I appreciate his insight on so many different areas I have been working through. He has a wealth of knowledge and is great at matching me with helpful and effective resources. I recommend him to anyone that is considering connecting with a counselor as he is warm, welcoming and professional.
Jeff is so knowledgeable and is very personable. I feel comfortable opening up to him and knowing he’ll give me sound direction as to what steps to take in my situations. He has helped so much with teaching me ways to handle anxiety and to problem solve for myself.
I look forward to speaking with Jeff every week as I know he will give me supportive insight on challenges I am facing, as well as different perspectives and ways to think about, and approach these situations.
Jeff has been incredibly helpful through some difficult emotions. He's understanding and direct.
Jeff is a knowledgeable counselor. He’s a good listener and provides practical skills to use on a daily basis, in order to improvise your life. He led me through a trauma therapy and was extremely understanding and empathetic the entire journey. I would highly recommend him as a counselor!
Been great so far !
Jeff is always willing to cheer me on even with all of the struggles I face, and has lots of great advice!
Jeff is INCREDIBLE! I am so honored and THANKFUL for him as both a professional and person. I’ve never had a therapist like him after going through a number of them. What makes Jeff different than any other therapist is his willingness to listen and help create new patterns of change. Most therapists will have you talk in circle and what I appreciate the most is his ability to help implement actionable steps and patterns which results into change that lasts. Since Jeff, I have seen so many changes in my career, personal relationships and most importantly, myself. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking to tackle their problems head on with the support, empathy, and action needed to make change happen while having a supporter who truly cares about the individual. Thank you Jeff for being awesome and helping me in my darkest time.
He is awesome
I was in the darkest place I’ve been probably in my life and knew I had to get some help. Not being able to afford the $120+ per session here in the area, I decided to give BetterHelp a try. Needless to say, it was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I am so blessed to have worked with Jeff. He suggested trauma therapy to begin with, which is something I never knew I even needed. After months of working with Jeff, he has helped me become more of the person I’ve strived to be all my life. I’m finally happy, not suicidal, and able to work through my emotions and feelings of fear and doubt in myself without spiraling. I’m beyond thankful to have Jeff as my counselor. I’ll definitely be continuing with him for as long as I can, and I’ll ALWAYS recommend him. Such an amazing experience.
Jeff has been my therapist for six weeks so far and I couldn't be happier. I am already experiencing life in the way I have been working toward. I feel safe and comfortable with him and have from the very first appointment. Jeff is a great therapist and I am incredibly grateful that betterhelp found him for me.
Jeff has seriously changed my life. He has helped me work through everything and gave me the tools to help me heal from years of trauma. Something I didn’t think was possible. Thank you so much Jeff!
I was hesitant about counselling, knew I would need flexibility and someone with experience in trauma. Jeff Eastman is exactly who I would have picked had I searched.
Jeff helped me overcome an extremely traumatic childhood that has freed me to live a full life of love without restriction!
Jeff has been excellent. Over the past couple of months I have needed to be able to voice all of the things that are going on in my life from an unbiased standpoint. Jeff has listened and helped me to clarify my thoughts and feelings in a huge way. He has also suggested multiple different resources that also helped me. I also really liked being able to chat in between our sessions and that helped me to get things out of my head when I needed to. I am in a much better place in my life right now and owe many thanks to Jeff for helping me along that journey.
Jeff is great. He’s a great listener and gives good advice on next steps I can take on overcoming the issues that I have. I feel like I’ve made good progress in the last 2 months and I’m excited and also a little nervous for the future!
I've only been working with Jeff a couple weeks but I believe he's doing a wonderful job and is committed to his patients.
He has helped me a lot just by talking with him I really appreciate it.
Jeff was awesome - when I started my journey with him I was in a very dark place, confused about where to go, how to get there, and in a bad depression due to past events. He supported me, made me feel that I was not being ridiculous, and asked questions that made me think rather than giving me the answer, I really appreciated that. He also recommended a book for me to go through and that helped make my journey easier. I am feeling more confident, new paths are opening in front of me and I am now very optimistic about my future. Words are not enough to express my thanks to Jeff for showing me who I truly am. Thank you so much, Jeff.
Jeff acts in a professional manner, is timely, and has been of immense help. I really appreciate his insights, patience, and dedication that he shows to his clients. I feel comfortable talking to him and I feel like he really listens and treats what I have to say as important and valuable.
Jeff has been very supportive during a very difficult time in my life.
Jeff has been caring and very helpful. His suggestions and insight has given me the tools and knowledge to improve my relationships and calm my anxiety.
I remember when I initially started, I was a mess and the most stuck up individual you’d meet as a patient, not only did he break down the walls I built around me but he helped me through something that I’ve been stuck on for nearly 8 years. I cannot be more grateful to Jeff for this, I owe him my future because my past has finally stayed in the past now.
Jeff has helped me with a plethora of personal and professional challenges over the past three months. Through chats, worksheets, videos, and books I’ve come out the other side more mentally healthy and much happier than I started. Highly recommend!
Jeff is truly exemplifies excellent support. He immediately engaged on a personal level, listened intently and used his own experience to provide truly fantastic support. His background is clearly varied and provides a strong basis for working with various issues with people from many different backgrounds. He offered a variety of useful tools to work through the broader topic of anger and many of the issues I was facing, made suggestions for other things to ponder or research - but all without a hint of being pushy. He was insightful and always balanced any suggestions or challenges with genuine support. I appreciated the practical tools and the "big-picture" ideas he used to provide context, clarity, and practical action steps for each thing we worked on together. Again, truly an excellent experience to work with Jeff!
Jeff is a kind and understanding therapist that intently listens in order to help. He was able to help me identify my issues and provided different ideas to overcome them. This app and Jeff’s attentiveness allowed me to talk with him in comfortable, accessible ways.I found it was easy to talk with him from his gentle demeanor. He was able to help me achieve a few goals during our sessions together.
Jeff has been a huge help in getting me back on the right track, he has been kind, respectful and has given me amazing tools to use that were specific and relevant to me and my needs. He offers many ways to communicate with him and is quick to return a message. Jeff has hugely impacted my positive experience with BetterHelp and I have been recommending BetterHelp to absolutely anyone who will listen, thanks to Jeff and his dedication to his work and the people he works with. I cannot say enough good things!
