More about Jestina

- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) and Certified Sex Therapist who works with adults and couples navigating sexual wellness, intimacy concerns, and complex relationship dynamics. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when clients feel both supported and challenged.
I specialize in sex-positive therapy, helping clients address desire discrepancies, communication issues, sexual confidence, and evolving relational needs — including non-traditional and ethically non-monogamous relationships. I create a space where conversations about sexuality, identity, and connection can happen without shame or judgment.
My style is direct yet compassionate. I help clients build emotional awareness, strengthen communication skills, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth. You are the expert on your life; my role is to provide structure, insight, and accountability as you move toward clarity, connection, and confidence.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
