About Jacob
Jacob Germany is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of therapy experience and a long history in mental health work. They focus on concrete strategies that help clients manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related executive functioning challenges, and life transitions. Jacob is queer-friendly and works with people facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and career or parenting stress.
In sessions Jacob keeps language plain and practical. Conversations look at what currently gets in the way of daily life and build manageable steps to change routines, reduce overwhelm, and improve focus.
Background and approach
They draw on client-centered conversations to learn what matters most to each person and tailor techniques accordingly. Jacob also uses EMDR, a trauma-focused approach that addresses painful memories, and somatic methods that pay attention to bodily signals and sensations.
These tools are offered when they fit a client's goals and comfort level, and are combined with simple coaching-style work on organization, planning, and habits. They pay attention to how systems and institutions shape stress and wellbeing, and discuss those influences openly in session.
Jacob describes mental health struggles as understandable survival responses rather than illnesses to be cured, and frames therapy as a collaborative process to make daily life easier. Located in Oklahoma, Jacob works in English and accepts international clients for online formats. People who want clear techniques, practical planning, and thoughtful conversation about identity and social context may find their approach useful.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Jacob uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals and experience first, focusing on practical steps and conversation to solve day-to-day problems. This style helps clarify priorities and build routines that support better focus and fewer setbacks.They also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method that works with distressing memories by bilaterally stimulating memory while the client processes thoughts and feelings; it is often used when past trauma continues to affect current life. Somatic therapy is another option and pays attention to body sensations and nervous system responses to help people notice and shift physical patterns tied to stress or trauma.
Finding the right method is a joint process. Jacob will discuss what each approach involves, listen to preferences and concerns, and then try techniques that match the client's goals. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for interactive work and EMDR when appropriate, phone is a low-bandwidth option for check-ins, and chat or messaging can support brief coaching, homework, or check-ins between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
