Henry “Jay” Swedlaw brings 19 years of clinical experience and eight years working on the BetterHelp platform, and he has supported thousands of clients over the course of his career. He understands that beginning therapy and discussing difficult topics can feel challenging, and he offers a steady, experienced presence for those new to virtual and messaging-based therapy. He has a high degree of comfort and confidence delivering clinical services online and is committed to helping clients work through whatever life has presented.

He holds counseling licenses across six states, including active licensure in Texas and Wyoming, and practices from Texas. His approach is direct, goal-focused, and results-oriented, with an emphasis on teaching practical skills so clients leave therapy with a better understanding of themselves and tools to address future challenges independently. He specializes in stress and anxiety, relationship and couples issues, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and aggression management, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

He strives to make intake accessible and can schedule new-client intake sessions within 48 hours. His professional passion is helping people, and he is ready to support those seeking growth, relief, and lasting change.
