Eliezer Jacobson (Anxiety & Ocd Specialist)
Therapist
Virtual & in-person • 2.7 mi away • Jackson Township, NJ
I am an LCSW with many years experience working with trauma survivors and mothers. I teach DBT skills to help you manage stress and relationships and build a life worth living. Then I utilize IFS and EMDR to help you process past trauma so you can feel even better.
My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.
Hello and welcome! I have been assisting clients with navigating some of the most difficult stages of life. I have provided services with clients between the ages of 4 and 96. I specialize in aging, grief/loss and life transitions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood
Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, NJ starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Lakewood is home to a large and diverse community in Ocean County, and the demand for mental health care continues to increase. Whether you prefer to meet with a provider in person near the Route 9 corridor or connect from home through a virtual session, having flexible options can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lakewood who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
