The very first session I knew she was more than capable of helping ease my anxiety. Her expertise and responses were so very helpful.
Dec 31, 2020 by Z.A.
Velma’s approach is one of honest compassion - she demonstrates empathy and is super supportive, but also doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She will provide you with encouragement and guidance to take those uncomfortable but important steps towards better mental health and strength.

Apr 30, 2020 by M.O.
She is amazing and very supportive. I literally would not have made it out of some tough situations without her support. Now that the world is topsy turvy, I will be relying on her support and expertise more than ever to help me find my way.
Apr 28, 2020 by F.E.
If you're looking to make a difference in your life and ready for some honest truths, you should definitely work with Velma. She's outspoken, professional, and super supportive, full of wisdom. She's straight to the point and she's so good at activating the potential in you.
Apr 21, 2020 by M.A.
Ms. Velma never fails to be an excellent professional therapist. I say that because of her abilities that I’ve seen no matter when I’ve counseled from her and I’d like to give credit where credit is due. I’m so thankful for her.

She is super sweet and so funny. Very helpful and understanding.
Mar 04, 2020 by D.O.
I'm new to therapy and Velma is like my third therapist of the far and she's the one I most comfortable with. Therapy is a process you can expect to get it all in ones and she's somebody who's willing to work with you through your process and she's very easy to talk to very easy to confine in. She's somebody who would let you either get everything off your chest or if you are a question-and-answer type of person she will work with you in that way so she's a very versatile therapist.
Mar 03, 2020 by A.N.
Velma is a wonderful listener and she provides me with a multitude of different tools that I can use in between sessions to manage stress and anxiety. She is organized, prepared, non-judgemental, empathetic and provides clear, concise advice while also challenging me to approach challenges from a different viewpoint.
Feb 20, 2020 by L.A.
I appreciate Velma’s wisdom and expertise. I’m seeing a big change in my life.

Feb 07, 2020 by J.O.
Velma is great! She has geven me good fee-back and good tools to use in handling some toxic thoughts that I have ignored. I have only had 2 live phone sessions but our correspondence over text and journals have been so immensely helpful! I am looking forward to more breakthroughs to come!
Jan 28, 2020 by K.A.
Velma is absolutely amazing at her job. She takes a no "bs" approach, telling you what you need to hear not what you want to hear. I can't recommend her enough, especially for those struggling with PTSD.
Jan 24, 2020 by R.I.
Velma is great!
Jan 18, 2020 by E.M.
Velma is wonderful and professional. I owe great thanks to her!
Jan 03, 2020 by A.N.

Dec 31, 2019 by R.J.
Velma and I have had 2 phone conversations so far and I already feel very comfortable with her, I trust her knowledge and I enjoy our sessions.
Dec 21, 2019 by C.H.
After years of trying to find a psychologist that was the right fit for me, I was extremely discouraged. I tried 4 therapists in my life, and then decided to give BetterHelp a shot. I got matched with Velma, and getting her as my therapist has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. She saw through me and helped me through very difficult times, all thanks to her great skills, amazing & helpful mental-health related book recommendations, and support. She is a very knowledgeable, wise and friendly woman, and on top of helping you bring great and drastic positive changes to your life, she knows how to make you laugh and be comfortable, too! I recommend Velma to absolutely everyone, she is hardworking and deeply cares about her patients. I am now happier than I have been in years and I owe a massive part of this accomplishment to Velma.
Dec 20, 2019 by H.O.
She is truly great to work with.
Dec 18, 2019 by L.I.

Nov 08, 2019 by Z.A.
Velma is the best, most professional psychotherapist I've ever had the pleasure to speak with. She is beyond knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend Velma.
Nov 06, 2019 by P.H.
Velma is an exceptional counselor. She is a great listener and offers practical advice and resources for how to manage one’s challenges. She is calming, but offers gentle tough love when needed. I would definitely recommend her!
Nov 01, 2019 by D.E.
Velma is a very kind, supportive, and efficient counselor. I appreciate that she makes it a point to give me something tangible to take away from each session. She is very knowledgeable. I feel I can trust her and that she values the relationship.
Nov 01, 2019 by N.A.
I like how Velma suggests literature for one to get to get more clarity on self and also what had been discussed in session.
Oct 27, 2019 by S.T.
Velma is great. She responds quickly and has more knowledge of things that made it so nice to work with.
Oct 24, 2019 by M.O.
Velma really listens to all aspects of my problems and life challenges. She is helping me create a plan to handle and navigate my life’s changes.
Oct 23, 2019 by S.U.

Oct 21, 2019 by B.R.
Velma has been amazing at listening and holding space for me to express and explore my emotions. She gives me great tools that I can turn to in challenging times.
Oct 20, 2019 by A.M.
Velma is kind, supportive, and offers a wonderful mix of both deep empathy and a protective spirit that speaks the truth and does not mistake scraps for treasure. She has helped me to put key things into perspective and encouraged me to focus on all aspects of my life to achieve balance, positive forward momentum, and true wellbeing.
Sep 27, 2019 by E.M.
My counselor, Velma Jones was very helpful. I began using better help at a time when I was lost and extremely sad. She helped me to identify emotional baggage that I clung to and issues of forgiveness that I needed to address. She recommended a book to me that really changed my way of thinking and helped me begin a healing process. Because of her I have been able to work through renewing myself and embracing my life as it is now. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help.
Sep 26, 2019 by R.A.
Velma Jones is a considerate, insightful, and straightforward counselor. She was quick to assess my issues and made it easy for me to open up and express my challenges. I would highly recommend her services to someone else in need.
Sep 08, 2019 by L.I.
She is so easy to talk to and is a very down to earth person. She understands the issues that I’m going through with great empathy and talking to her to make a plan on how to help myself really makes me feel better.
Aug 30, 2019 by K.A.
Velma Jones is a force of nature. I haven't been as active with her as I'd like due to my own schedule, but each interaction bolstered my understanding of the world and how I stand in it. After 5 months of stagnation, I sought out BetterHelp and with her spiritual advice I've landed a job, a doctor, and a foundation for my own self confidence. I wish she was my aunt. I'm cancelling my BetterHelp account not because I didn't get help, but because I'm on the path to getting better. Thanks Velma. :D
Aug 26, 2019 by J.E.
Velma is knowledgeable, caring, and incredibly insightful. She’s been nothing but amazing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!
Aug 24, 2019 by D.A.
Velma is fantastic. Truly embraces the job. She loves it and it shows. She is always available to her BH clients in any method that you want to communicate. At all hours of the day. She is so empathetic and understanding. Always has a great self-help book to recommend. She sends out gentle reminders that she is there for me when she hasn’t heard from me in a while. So great to have her in my life. Always knowing I have this resource to go to. I can wait for her to write a biography.
Aug 03, 2019 by J.E.
I feel very comfortable with Velma. I’ve been to counselors before that just seemed to lack world experience and made me feel like I couldn’t share myself to them. But Velma listens to me and offers amazing advice. I’m just really happy to have her.
Aug 03, 2019 by S.A.
It's great to talk to Velma. She understands the problem and give practical solutions. She listens very carefully. Definitely talk to her.
Jul 16, 2019 by L.I.
Velma is wonderful!
Jun 25, 2019 by F.R.
Velma, thank you so much for your kindness and understanding! You are an amazing woman and I truly value your expertise and words of wisdom!! You’re helping me navigate an extremely difficult path in my life and I appreciate every moment of your guidance!! I wish you were my best friend and I could just call you and chat for hours every night!! Not just about me, but about you, too!! Thank you so much for everything I am forever grateful and I will never forget you :)
May 02, 2019 by B.E.
Velma is extremely helpful and helps me to view things from a different perspective.
Apr 18, 2019 by R.A.
She is a very kind and supportive therapist that helps you overcome your insecurities and concerns.
Apr 04, 2019 by K.E.
She’s a great, knowledgeable, and supportive counselor
Mar 30, 2019 by N.I.
Velma is truthful and very encouraging. She has helped me in a short time strengthen myself.
Mar 29, 2019 by T.A.
She has been a great help to me and helps me stay on track with my goals. I changed counselors two times and I’m glad that I did because I would’ve missed out on working with her. She is very responsive and cares about her clients.
Mar 21, 2019 by A.D.
Velma has been great. She has helped me really understand that there were so many issues underlying my own thoughts. I have really learned to know myself once again.
Jan 24, 2019 by A.I.
She is very helpful and has helped me dig up things from the past that are affecting me today
Jan 06, 2019 by A.S.
Gives excellent advice and looks at the bigger picture.
Nov 21, 2018 by K.A.
Velma has saved my sanity! I absolutely feel very comfortable in talking out my issues with her and trust her guidance. She is a lady with great wisdom and expertise !
Nov 15, 2018 by G.I.
Velma is timely response, great person most likely to be around, and encouraging. Her answers are concise and clear. I feel confident and comfortable talking to her, reading her message. Her messages do not change the way I feel before the interaction, after I read her message I feel better. When I write I feel uncomfortable as something is bothering me, I message her, let her know, then I read her message, and calm down.
Nov 10, 2018 by L.R.
She is very motivating.
Nov 05, 2018 by A.L.
I have been to over 6 therapists in my life and I have never gone for more than 2 sessions. I always gave up because I never found a therapist who I truly gelled with. Velma is a blessing - it's the word that most accurately describes her. She is empathetic & as sharp as a whip - HIGHLY intelligent and intuitive. And not only is she a great listener, she is a problem solver, which is what I now know has been missing all these years. We can talk to any person about our feelings, grievances, regrets - but what's the point if that person can't guide us on how to get through these problems and not only survive, but thrive? I am finally excited (I never, ever, ever thought I would say that about therapy) to continue my journey of healing with Velma. Highly highly recommend her for anyone going through a trying time in their lives. She is a wonderful human being and I am so thankful for her.
Oct 28, 2018 by J.A.
Velma Jones is an excellent therapist who provides practical advice and thoughtful support.
Oct 19, 2018 by S.H.
I honestly don't know what I would be if I didn't have her help. She listens to me, addresses my issues, and even lets me know when I'm using flawed reasoning. I trust her whole heartedly. I don't think I've had a counselor get to know me so well so quickly. She's changed my life for sure.
Oct 14, 2018 by K.R.
To put it bluntly, Velma saved me. I don't know what I would have done or where I would have turned to without her. As a single mother to three kids, working part time, being back in school, and being severely hard of hearing it was almost impossible for me to get to a traditional brick-and-mortar counseling session let alone attempt a phone session. Velma's accessibility and the BetterHelp option of live chats for sessions has been a game changer.
Oct 12, 2018 by A.L.
I finally found a therapist that truly understands how to relate to me. She is nothing short of amazing.
Oct 11, 2018 by J.E.
Velma is caring and supportive.
Oct 10, 2018 by O.M.
She has been very helpful.
Sep 23, 2018 by V.I.
She has changed my life, with blunt truth. She listens to me and supports my goals that benefit me.
Sep 15, 2018 by M.A.
Velma is wonderful. She is always there when I need to talk and express myself. I have a very busy work load this time of year and sometimes it is a week or so before I feel the need to talk to her. She always gets right back to me and we pick up like it was yesterday that we spoke.
Sep 01, 2018 by R.O.
Ms. Jones listens to me and also helps me see and understand myself. I truly appreciate her.
Aug 30, 2018 by D.O.
In just a very short time Velma has made me feel so much better. She has shown me there is hope. I am calmer and more like myself since speaking to her.
Aug 27, 2018 by C.A.
Velma is super prompt on responding! She sometimes even responds at 4:30am when I have needed someone to talk to. She also has the gift of empathy which is needed in this line of work. Totally recommend her.
Aug 25, 2018 by S.A.
It would take too much space and time to write all the things I love about Velma. She's really the best in so many ways. Insightful, helpful, practical, realistic, hopeful, real and effective solutions and intuitive... need i say more! :)
Aug 13, 2018 by T.I.
Velma is a friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable professional who I feel I can share my life challenges with. She is there for me with objective counseling and guidance and as a result, I feel that I can turn to her when issues arise on virtually any topic that I am dealing with. Very happy I found BetterHelp and Velma Jones!
Jul 27, 2018 by N.A.
She is really great. She found out what's problem I have and how to work on that very clearly, I didn't even realize and I couldn't focus on that. Every time I asked questions, she gave me good advises, which really helping me and solve my problem.
Jul 26, 2018 by M.E.
Velma Jones was able to reply in real time to my current needs. She listened with compassion and provided realistic advice. I appreciate her thoughtful approach to my psychiatric condition. I do think that if I continue treatment my situation can improve.
Jul 20, 2018 by J.A.
Velma is a gift to this world she has helped me in the the past couple of weeks. I have been working with her on my complex PTSD, anxiety and depression highly recommended.
Jul 02, 2018 by R.Y.
Velma is supportive, responsive and empathetic. She has a results oriented approach, her insights and resources that she has shared have helped me immensely. She is caring and straight forward, and knowing that she is in my corner has brought a sense of relief to some of the stresses I've been feeling. I look forward to learning more from her.
Jun 14, 2018 by K.I.
She is thorough, caring and very helpful.
May 15, 2018 by C.A.
Velma is an incredible counselor - she brings so much professional and real-world experience to our sessions, and has given me such great advice and guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate counseling!
May 11, 2018 by T.A.
Velma has been my guardian angel, we've been speaking for little over a year and I must say, I owe a big deal of gratitude to this angel of a woman! I see her as a second mother/close friend/life coach/therapist. Kinda all-in-one support package. I value her empathy, efforts, wisdom and knowledge and remain to be eternally grateful.
May 10, 2018 by M.E.
Velma has helped me deal with the breakup of an almost decade long relationship and all the tough things come after something that hard. I'm thankful to have her to help me in this time.
Apr 30, 2018 by D.E.
Mrs. Jones was very receptive and helpful. She gave me excellent advice and encouragement as well as giving suggestions to my husband who is also having issues. I will always appreciate her words of wisdom.
Apr 27, 2018 by V.E.
I have been working with Velma for quite some time now and I can honestly say she is one of the kindest, warmest individuals I’ve had the pleasure of talking to. She was there with me during a time in my life when I felt stuck, doubtful, unsatisfied, and not particularly optimistic. Slowly but surely, she has helped me come to a place where I feel much more positive, upbeat, and at peace with myself. Her recommendations for books and other materials are always spot on and she has a way of injecting humor into any situation, which I really appreciate. She has also helped me get in touch with my more spiritual side, which I credit for my increased happiness as of late. Overall she is an amazing person who has a special talent for reframing a bleak, painful situation into a more positive one.
Apr 13, 2018 by B.I.
Velma is a really awesome person. She is a great listener and gives precise feedback. Whenever I message her, she replies very quickly. So far I really enjoy my sessions with her and try to utilize as much time with her as possible and take in the information she provides.
Apr 12, 2018 by G.R.
Velma is extremely warm and an attentive listener. She’s a wealth of information/resources and truly competent at providing suggestions that improve your life in ways you simply never would think of. I always leave our calls feeling refreshed and invigorated, with a new energy to attack the challenges of life. Very lucky to have found her.
Mar 09, 2018 by K.R.
Velma was very helpful, kind, compassionate and understanding. She went out of her way to respond to my messages at all times of the day. I would definitely recommend. Thanks for everything Velma!
Mar 08, 2018 by G.A.
Ms. Jones was responsive and helpful in resolving my issue. I will recommend.
Mar 06, 2018 by T.O.
She is very responsive and doesn't let much time go by before she get's a hold of me and I appreciate it and her. In fact, there are times when she responds seconds after I send a message. She is amazing. Velma is affirmative, she is supportive, wise, and empowering. I feel she is 100% committed to my development, growth, healing, and recovery. I am so grateful that I was matched with her. I think back to our first phone session and I left the call feeling so much more aware of myself, my struggles, and awareness that I will be fine, with time. She gave me hope and I felt renewed.
Mar 03, 2018 by I.A.
Velma has been great in giving me advice and understanding my current situation. I feel like she's very easy to talk to.
Feb 24, 2018 by P.A.
Velma helped me out when I really, really needed it. She gave me worksheets and techniques for helping me work through my feelings and see things in a clear way. Getting in touch with Velma and BetterHelp was the best decision I could have made to help me get through what was a really difficult time.
Feb 03, 2018 by J.O.
Velma is being extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring.
Jan 29, 2018 by Á.B.
An excellent counsellor, who helped me achieve major changes in just a few months. Listens, understands, and gives great advice.
Jan 17, 2018 by M.E.
I cannot say enough about how much Velma has already helped me. Just knowing she’s there when I need her and that there’s a plan to work on with someone else has been such an asset to my life. Everyone should use BetterHelp.
Jan 07, 2018 by C.H.
Velma is the BEST. Scheduling was the hardest thing for me lately and being able to have a session without leaving the house as been ideal. This is excellent!
Jan 07, 2018 by L.O.
She is a total life saver omggg!! Best energy ever, extremely understanding and patient! I never had success with other counselors but with her I feel I found a life-time connection to stability and sanity. I don’t feel so alone anymore, and when I’m going through a tough spot she’s there! Thank you Velma! God bless
Dec 31, 2017 by M.E.
She is a brilliant, understanding and sympathetic therapist. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Dec 29, 2017 by S.H.
Velma is an amazing psychologist. I am so blessed to have gotten paired up with her. She makes me see logic and helps me through difficult times. Velma works so hard. She gets back to me so promptly and she really listens. She is the best!!
Dec 20, 2017 by A.L.
Velma has helped me in a way no other counselor has! She has given me so many tools and resources to use to help myself grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even financially! She is a wonderful blessing in my life and I am absolutely grateful for her.
Dec 17, 2017 by K.R.
Very understanding and resourceful.
Dec 14, 2017 by C.A.
I can not stress enough how grateful and appreciative I am that Velma Jones is my counselor. Her expertise in her profession, as well as her professionalism and understanding, make you feel that there is hope that your problems will be addressed in a positive manner. And Velma Jones LISTENS to what you are saying which, in today's world, is very uncommon! It difficult to admit to yourself that you have emotional problems. But once you do, you should hope that you are assigned to Velma Jones if she is located in your area. If your are not located in her area, make sure that the counselor assigned to you is as good for you as Velma Jones is for me and many other patients!
Nov 22, 2017 by S.I.
I have only been talking to Velma for a short period of time but she has already understood much of what I need and she has been able to direct me already. She listens very well and is gentle and straightforward at the same time. Lovely lady to share with and I look forward to our journey.
Nov 17, 2017 by E.R.
Velma Jones is a godsend! I have worked with other counselors before, but she is really the best I have ever experienced. She is a great listener, focuses on problem solving and goal setting, and is always there when you need her. In helping you find solutions, you are aware of her incredible expertise and her ability to understand you and your specific situation. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Nov 08, 2017 by D.R.
She is great so far. It is in the early stages so we are still getting to know each other.
Nov 06, 2017 by N.A.
Velma is truly an Angel sent here in human form... I cannot explain how much it means to me to have her as my counselor. She has been extremely helpful to me and very supportive in ways I couldn't imagine. She is very knowledgeable, and an expert in relationship coaching and self-help. She helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life, and fortunately I still have her to help me with my marriage/separation issues. Thank you Velma for all you have done for me! I appreciate you wholeheartedly!
Oct 23, 2017 by L.I.
Ms. Jones is very easy going. I feel like I’m talking to a friend. She is very professional as well.
Oct 17, 2017 by S.C.
Velma Jones helped me and my boyfriend gain some direction and a different perspective on our relationship at the moment. I really appreciate everything she has done.
Sep 20, 2017 by J.E.
She's great and is helping me do the work I need to get done.

Velma is an amazing counselor. Her warm and frank style is a breath of fresh air in a sometimes redundant world of counseling. She is easy to talk to and provides amazing insight, especially considering it's just over the phone. She is positive without pandering, funny without being mean, and truly has been in my corner. When I needed help the most, she was ready and waiting for me.

Velma is an exceptional counselor. She is tender and attentive, and able to pull insight from various philosophies and schools of thought. Velma is an expert therapist and she communicates with humility. This makes her relatable and easy to confide in.

I have no words to thank Velma for the support she has given me for the past 3 months. Her strong intuition and sound expertise were key for me to recover my energy levels and balance. I cannot think of any better help than the one she provided me with.

Velma has been a huge help to me! She immediately understood my situation and gave me very good advice that really helped me. I liked being able to communicate via email and speaking on the phone. She has a very good intuition and a strong background in counseling so she is able to draw from both those and give excellent feedback and advice . I highly recommend her.

I am so grateful I met such a wonderful therapist on this forum. My former therapist who I used to see retired last year and I was interviewing a variety of therapist locally. None of them worked out. I decided to try this service and I was paired with Velma, who I can say is just as wonderful and even more so then my former therapist. I have had major breakthroughs in a short period of time. Velma is very patient, wise, and just an overall special person. Everything she says is well thought out and thought provoking. I can tell she really cares about me, and she wants to see me get better. She doesn't sugar coat, and she also helped me leave a very toxic relationship. She provides many tools and has a lot of guidance. I am amazed that I could find such a high-quality therapist from the comfort of my own home. I highly recommend Velma and I thank her so much. This is just the beginning and I look forward to our work together.

Velma was able to help me tremendously over these past few sessions. What I like about working with Velma is we don't just talk and then hang up. Every session, she listens and she also gives me specific feedback to help identify the issue, what is causing the issue and the solution. She has provided me with tools and specific daily life exercises and changes that have made a DRAMATIC shift and change that has made the quality of my life experience better and is now addressing the anxiety I have had to manage for my entire adult life and using it as a power for change for the positive. I highly recommend her and feel blessed to be working with her. Thank you, Velma!- M
