I have been a client of Alissa Green's for approximately 2 years. I have participated in therapy before, so thought I had a good understanding of what to expect and what I'd get out of my sessions. I've benefitted so much more than I thought I would. Alissa listens empathetically but also has an innate talent for defining and showing me the "other side" - an aspect of a situation I hadn't considered. She emphasizes my strengths while also calling me on my BS. I've really grown to be more confident in my ability to manage my diagnoses, relationships and work life with her help.

Alissa is a patient listener who allows me to work out my concerns while occasionally adding helpful guidance. It has been very easy to work with her from the beginning, and she did an excellent job with patient intake. I felt like we were both clear on my objectives from the beginning. Since working with her, I have made several changes to my life that have been critical to increasing my happiness. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking to change what's not working in their lives.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Alissa is great. I had my inhibition about online counseling before joining better help. But in the first session itself, Alissa made me very comfortable and she listens to me so patiently!! It's such a huge relief to find someone who doesn't judge you.

I found BetterHelp at a time in my life where I was so desperate for help and guidance that I was at a crossroads. I decided to look for alternatives to regular counseling or therapy because they are so expensive and I was very lost. When I found this app I have a brief description of myself and my troubles, I was matched with a counselor the same day. Nothing against this lady but she recommended a book to help learn better coping mechanisms for stress and had I not been so far along in depression this would have been a wonderful start. I decided to switch counselors and to give as honest and to the bone description of what I'd been through and how I was having difficulty dealing with my emotions, and again, my desperation. In short, I was looking for someone who would read my bio and know what they were going to really be helping with. It took until the next day to be matched with Alissa. She was thorough and personal, thanked me for being so honest about the vulnerable issues I had described and approached me to consider for help instead of jumping write into therapy. She is very goal oriented, but it's your goals, the personal milestones that she helps to make clear and more achievable than progress for the sake of progress. I had to quit BetterHelp months ago because I couldn't afford it and am in a better place financially but was recently going through a very difficult time, I thought I'd overcome. I reinstated my subscription and messaged Alissa asking if we could talk. She answered me within the hour and we scheduled a video appointment for that same day. The turn around from being able to speak to someone who is knowledgeable and genuinely cares has made a big difference in my life. I'd recommend her and Better Help to anyone who feels they need some guidance before it gets to the point I was. It doesn't need to be completed that hard and it's such a relief to know there is help and good people out there. Thank you for what you do!
