Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It felt so comforting and helpful speaking with Jenny. As an international client from a totally different and complicated culture, I thought it will be hard for me to connect with a therapist and communicate my problems. I am happy with the understanding and caring Jenny showed and with the guidance to focus on one problem at a time to get it done instead of repeating the same problems again and again. She also helped me to build more courage to take big decisions that I found so challenging to take before.

Reviewed January 2022

I had worked with Jenny last year and when I needed to return to therapy for a few issues I was so glad she was able to see me again. I find her to be an excellent listener and supporter but also able to push me when needed. She is easy to talk to and offers very helpful insight. I would highly recommend her!

I chose Jenny because I had read on her previous clients reviews that she was kind, and I needed some kindness in my life at that moment. It has been such a relief to have Jenny there to listen and support me. She believes in me and that way I can believe in me too. Thank you so much Jenny, you are helping me get through a very difficult time.

Reviewed February 2021

Jenny is empathic towards the difficulties that I share and she challenges me to use my strengths to reflect on the changes I can make today and the goals I can set for tomorrow. She is honest about helping me figure out what I can do better, and what might be out of my control. This has helped me to not dwell on the failures in the past, but to move towards constructive self-reflection and make changes today that build momentum. Thank you Jenny for all the support and advice!

Reviewed January 2021

Dr. Fritz is a fantastic therapist who really listens, offers constructive advice and takes the time to make notes and remember past discussions. She absolutely should get paid more for being one of the few effective counselors on Betterhelp. If Betterhelp doesn't already have a system then they must create one so that good counselors like Dr. Frtiz who consistently get great reviews are recognized and compensated adequately for their good work!

I've had several sessions with Jennifer, both by live chat and video chat. I appreciate that she takes time to hear me, to hear what I'm really saying. She's been accepting of my experiences and encouraging of the progress I've made. It's been such a relief to have someone hear me out and believe my story and tell me what I needed to hear - "You don't have to do this alone". Thank you, Jennifer - you've made so much more of a difference than you'll ever know.

Reviewed June 2020

Jennifer has been wonderful to work with. She always responds timely and has very good insight into what I'm trying to say even if I feel like I'm rambling. She has created a very safe space to open up and share my thoughts while offering views on my relationships and childhood that I haven't seen before. I think she has made a huge difference in the day to day of dealing with my stress and anxiety knowing that I have a place to open up and discuss what is challenging me.

Reviewed June 2020

Jennifer is very compassionate and understanding. She is very good at what she does, and she’s helped me navigate through a very critical problem in my life. I would definitely recommend her to friends or family any time, as I’ve worked with counselors before but can state that she is definitely someone who will help you and make you consider things you may have not thought about, but should be working through. Basically, she’ll give you what you need to hear. In short, she’s awesome!

I am very happy to be assigned to Jennifer Fritz. I wasn't sure how to start or how this could help, but Jennifer quickly spread some confidence and motivation very quickly. I like how counseling with Jennifer is very goal orientated and tangible which is not what i anticipated how talk therapy would be in general. Setting some order and structure about tackling those vague problems in the background that have been there a long time and I am used to ignoring, helps bring about broader changes in all areas of life.

Reviewed May 2020

Jenny is a fantastic counsellor. Empathic, knowledgeable, completely non-judgemental, and very easy to talk to. Jenny has a unique capacity to remain impartial while discussing difficult, personal, and sometimes controversial subjects while still being able to offer solid, tailored advice or help scaffold a framework for me to be able to reach my own conclusions. I always feel safe and accepted sharing thoughts with Jenny, and my time with her has helped me crawl out of a very dark, inert place and into a place of more positive thinking and greater productivity. I would recommend time with Jenny to anybody.

Reviewed April 2020

When looking for counseling the biggest hurdle for someone who has never done it, is suddenly entrusting your reserved emotions and thoughts to a complete stranger. But with Jennifer, the feet hit the ground and it bolted. We have cruised through a number of issues not necessarily with solutions but with understanding which have brought me peace. It's something you really cant appreciate until you experience it. Jennifer has been amazing to work with and the light ambiance of the conversation makes for a safe but critical space for thinking about what's best for you. I have thoroughly enjoyed my counseling with Jennifer.

Dr. Jenny is truly an exemplary counselor. She is impossibly kind and compassionate and unceasingly patient and supportive. With her unique style and ability, she is able to reach over the barriers of technology and distance. I’m in awe of, and humbled by, her level of dedication and responsiveness that radiates from within her — she genuinely practices from a place that is well above and beyond average practice and she does it in her own professional and experienced way. But what is most reflective of her practice and style, is that there aren’t words to describe how she impacted me by supporting and shielding me through a very difficult time.
