About Jacob
Jacob Germany is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of therapy experience. Jacob works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and support around LGBT questions. He emphasizes practical tools and steady progress so people feel better in daily life.
Jacob draws on somatic work to help people notice how their body holds stress. He combines that with a client-centered stance that follows each person’s needs.
Background and approach
He also uses EMDR for processing trauma when it is helpful. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. Jacob often addresses complex issues such as dissociation, co-occurring conditions, and the challenges of chronic pain or disability.
He also supports people navigating gender questions, multicultural concerns, immigration stress, and nontraditional sexual cultures like kink and BDSM. He pays attention to both environmental and systemic pressures that affect wellbeing. People can expect clear, direct collaboration about goals and steps to try between sessions.
Jacob does not rely on a medical model; instead he frames many struggles as survival responses and works from there. He brings 17 years of broader mental health experience alongside his licensed practice. Jacob practices in Oklahoma and offers online options for people outside the area.
He speaks English and is experienced working with LGBTQ questions and varied neurodiversity needs. His approach is practical, body-aware, and geared toward real life improvement.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Somatic Therapy helps people notice how stress shows up in the body and introduces simple, gentle ways to shift those patterns; it can be useful for chronic tension, anxiety, and processing how trauma is stored physically. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and rhythm, with the therapist following and reflecting so the client feels understood and in charge of goals. EMDR is a trauma-processing method that guides attention while recalling difficult memories to reduce their emotional charge, and it is often used when past events continue to disrupt daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacob will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care while traveling, or use shorter check-ins between longer appointments. For many people, remote sessions allow steady progress with fewer logistical barriers, while still using body-aware and trauma-informed methods adapted for the online setting.
