About Me

Joel offers in-person and virtual counselling in Saint John as a Licensed Counselling Therapist Candidate. Flexibility is something I also provide by offering sessions on evenings and weekends!

As a Licensed Counselling Therapist, I know starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.

I work collaboratively with clients experiencing anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence and intention. I believe meaningful change happens one step at a time, and I’m committed to supporting you wherever you are in your journey.

About Me

Hello! My name is Jennifer Thomas. Life can bring unexpected challenges, difficult transitions, and moments when things simply feel overwhelming. I believe that you don’t have to navigate those experiences alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, gain a better understanding of yourself, and find a path forward that feels right for you.

My Experience

My career began as a family support worker, where I worked alongside families, youth, and adults experiencing challenges related to physical and mental health and developmental disabilities. I took time off to raise my children and then completed my masters degree from Yorkville University, as well as an internship at Just Us; We All Struggle.

My Approach

I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach to therapy. I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. Every person brings their own lived experiences, relationships, strengths, and ways of coping with anxiety, stress, and life’s challenges. Together, we can explore what you’re experiencing and identify what feels most helpful for you. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, tailoring my approach to your individual needs and goals.

Who I See

I work with children, youth, adults, couples, and families.

Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is an important part of the work we do together. I strive to create an inclusive, safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and sharing what you’re experiencing.

My Practice

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. My practice provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and develop new ways of moving forward.

My goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and support you at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start wherever you are.

My Location

In person (Saint John), virtual, or phone appointments available.

About Me

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. Compassion, connection, and advocacy are at the heart of what I do. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients can show up as they are and feel supported through life’s challenges.

My Experience

I am a practicing social worker and LCT-C with 10 years of experience in the addiction sector, supporting individuals through substance use challenges, recovery, and the often complex emotional and life circumstances that come with them. Over the years, I have also worked with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions in both community and clinical settings. My work is grounded in compassion and connection, with a strong focus on meeting people where they are at and walking alongside them at their own pace.

My Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, client-centred, and trauma-informed. I believe each person’s healing journey is unique, and I strive to meet clients where they are at. Therapy is about creating space to better understand yourself, build resilience, and move forward at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you. I describe counselling as walking alongside clients through difficult seasons of life while helping them develop insight, self-compassion, and practical coping tools. I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and emotionally focused practices, tailoring sessions to each client’s individual needs and goals.

Who I See

I work with adults, youth, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, addiction, and life transitions. I aim to create an inclusive and supportive space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered.

My Practice

My work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and trust, with a focus on helping clients feel comfortable showing up as themselves. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking for tools to better navigate life’s challenges, I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your healing and growth journey.

About Me

Coming from a blended family and having children of my own, I relate to life’s complexities and the complicated emotional struggle within. I believe an essential part of living is exploring, being curious, and play even if that is simply laughing.

My Experience

My path into counselling is a deeply personal journey. As someone who continues to navigate the beautiful struggle we call the human experience, I understand firsthand how transformative it can be to have someone in your corner. Those experiences shaped my commitment to mental health and ultimately guided me toward completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. They inform the compassion, patience, curiosity, and non-judgmental presence I bring to my work.

Who I See

I work with youth and adults who are navigating emotional dysregulation, trauma histories, mood-related concerns, identity-based challenges, neurodivergent traits, and the impacts of stigma and shame.

My Practice

My practice emphasizes collaborative treatment planning that respects client autonomy and well- being. I integrate affirming psychoeducation, strength-based interventions, and trauma-informed tools tailored to each client’s needs. I aim to create a therapeutic space that is accessible, compassionate, and rooted in meaningful human connection. My work is guided by the belief that clients do not need to be “fixed”; they deserve to be supported, understood, and empowered.

My counselling approach is grounded in identity/neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centred care. I draw on the humanistic foundations of person-centred practice, integrating collaborative meaning-making with evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic insight, TF-CBT, DBT skills, narrative therapy, and mindfulness/self-compassion. The goal is to support clients in building self-awareness, agency, and emotional regulation within a safe, validating therapeutic relationship.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, difficult emotions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult, and I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.

I’m Derica, and I provide a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel safe being yourself. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and work alongside you to create meaningful and lasting change.

A little about me

I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative relationship. You are the expert on your own life and experiences, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, work through challenges, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

I approach each client as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe that therapy should be tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, needs, and goals.

My therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), while incorporating strategies from other evidence-informed approaches when appropriate.

My experience

I work with adolescences aged 12+, adults, and couples, supporting clients through a variety of emotional, personal, and relationship challenges.

After completing my Bachelor of Arts at St. Thomas University, I worked as an educational assistant in elementary, middle, and high school settings. This experience allowed me to work closely with children and adolescents and deepened my understanding of the many social, emotional, and developmental challenges young people can experience.

I later completed my Master’s in Counselling through Yorkville University and have continued to build my experience supporting individuals and couples through a range of life challenges.

Areas I can help with

I support clients navigating:

● Anxiety, worry, and stress

● Depression and low mood

● Self-esteem and self-worth

● Emotional regulation and coping

● Relationship difficulties

● Family conflict

● Codependency

● Trauma

● Grief and loss

● Life transitions

● Suicidal thoughts and emotional distress

● Challenges faced by adolescents and young adults

What you can expect

Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and work through what’s weighing on you.

Whether you’re struggling with something you’ve been carrying for years or facing a new challenge that has left you feeling overwhelmed, we can work together to understand what’s happening, identify what you need, and develop tools to help you feel more confident moving forward.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before reaching out. Sometimes the first step is simply having someone to talk to.

Where I offer therapy

In-person: Saint John, New Brunswick

Virtual: Available throughout New Brunswick

Phone: Appointments available

If you feel that we may be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect with you.
