- I've been working with Jennifer Evans for a few months now dealing with anxiety related issues and addressing long-standing negative coping mechanisms. I've made amazing progress in identifying underlying issues and establishing techniques to overcome my anxiety. Jennifer uses a variety of methods and tailors therapy based on feedback. She is quick to respond, is extremely caring and always insightful. I truly believe she has been integral to the progress I’ve made in a fairly short amount of time. I highly recommend this therapist and am encouraged by how effective online therapy can be.
- Jennifer is an amazing counselor who is able to use her expertise, chatting through ReGain, and video calls to meet you where you are and help you with whatever is weighing you down. For couples counseling, she does not place blame on either partner and provides us with the tools to get us where we want to be- at first it seemed like an amicable divorce, and with her help it became strengthening our marriage. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and ReGain as a whole.
- I feel so grateful for Jennifer. When my husband and I started counseling with her, our marriage was in rough shape. She's been patient and kind while helping us to recover our relationship. She brings an abundant amount of knowledge to the table. I'm so grateful for her heart and her persistence. Thanks, Jennifer! We appreciate you and thank God for you.

- Jennifer has been wonderful and really helped during a difficult period in my life. She listens and has good feedback and resources to make things not feel as monumental as they once did.
- Very detailed and relatable. She gives you the blueprint to successful relationships
