ABOUT ME
Hello
My name is Terry Jensen. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University, am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ and practicing for over 30 years. While finishing my degree, I also attended the Institute for Gestalt Therapy and received my certificate. My professional experience includes Foster Care, Healthcare, and children with disabilities. I have been working for BetterHelp for 2 years. I am working with clients whose ages range from 18 to 70+. I work with singles as well as couples with different lifestyles.
My process is to address the past, determine how it affects the present and work towards a positive outcome for the future. My approach is behavioral combined with psychodynamic therapy. We can focus on anxiety, depression, and adjustment to life changes.
As my client, I will treat you as an individual and provide interventions geared toward helping you achieve your goals. I am respectful and compassionate while addressing your needs and goals. Gestalt Therapy allows us to be in the present while addressing the past and modifying the behaviors for an improved future. My goal is to make you feel very comfortable and safe since divulging experiences can be difficult. Everyone willing to be courageous and work towards change needs to be treated with the utmost respect. Change is not easy, but worth the challenge. I would like the chance to work with you towards achieving these challenges.
I look forward to working with you providing support and empowerment as we work towards a positive outcome.

About online counseling

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.

Terry is an amazing and proactive therapist who challenges you on your thoughts, anxieties, and the reasons behind to why you do the things you do. She is incredibly helpful and relatable with her own personal experiences
Terry has been the most authentic person I have ever spoken with. I’ve never done therapy before and have not even felt like I am in a clinical situation… instead feel like I’ve got a sounding board with experience to guide and help me reflect on what direction I want my life to go in. I can’t thank Terry enough for her honesty, compassion, and ability to see things for what they are.
Terry is amazing. She gave me the courage to make some very important changes in my life. She is patient, quick to respond, kind, and just a wonderful human being. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Terry is the absolute best!
Terry is fantastic. She listens and understands you. She offers advice and guidance through stories of her own, so you really feel the connection. She is also a really fun, interesting person and helps me see things from different perspectives which I think is so valuable in therapy.
Very talented.
Simple. She’s awesome.
Terry has helped me process my previous traumatic experience which has allowed me to cope with stress. I appreciate my time with her.
Terry is such a great therapist :) she helps me make plans for what we are working on and she always checks in with me on how I am doing. She is very encouraging
Words can’t describe the relief I’ve felt in finding Terry. She completely understands me, how I function and how to make changes to grow at a pace I agree with. I wish I met her ten years ago. It feels like I’ve known her my whole life. I’ve never been so thankful to connect with someone this quickly.
SHe has helped me tremendously in gaining a better understanding of what I am experience and why I have the emotions that are causing me to have anxiety and depression.
Terry is an amazing person to talk to. Her methods and stories are so helpful and you just feel like you’re talking with someone who cares about you, since she really does. It’s so comforting and enjoyable.
Thanks

Excellent
I feel heard when I’m with her
Insightful and helpful
I feel very much at ease talking with Terry. She understands my concerns and offers me different ways to deal with my anxiety and suggests different tools to use...
Terry has a very warm disposition and a calming, centering presence. She shares thoughtful insight into a situation and makes sure to affirm and encourage along the way.
Terry is Very kind. Try’s to relate by her own experiences and suggests ways on how to get through the grieving process. She helped me feel more comfortable talking about my feelings. which is a difficulty of mine. She gives excellent ideas and exercises to do on your own. I truly believe she really has helped me so far. I’m happy I took this step and was matched with Terry.
Great Listener and she provides helpful tools
She listens and gives you very good advice during session to help you understand your problems.
Terry is down to earth and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable from the very start. She shares her experiences with honesty and I am able to understand my situation better after speaking with her. Terry reads my Journal entries quickly and I feel she is there for me even in between our appointments which is very helpful with the trust issues I have had throughout my life.
Terry is truly a wonderful therapist and a magical human being! Anybody would be lucky to have her as their therapist. She is well experienced, insightful and wise. She makes you feel heard. I instantly feel better after talking to her.
Couldn't asked for a better therapist.
Terry is a quick study who immediately picks up on the true nature of a problem and offers memorable advice. She is a solid pro. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to share nearly an hour with her as she offers expert guidance on complicated issues with seemingly complete familiarity of the personalities and situations involved. Simply put, she is an angel.
