More about Christina

My name is Tina Teel. I am a very experienced licensed professional counselor in helping people improve their skills in dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships and family issues. I have a private practice in San Antonio.
My Master's degree is in Education-Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University. My Bachelor's degree is in Human Resource Management (combining psychology and business) from the University of Texas.
I prefer to actually see my clients through the video aspect of BetterHelp. I find that it makes a tremendous difference in feeling better soon. If you are interested in the video aspect, please select me as your counselor. (Just "come as you are" for the video. Don't worry about looking great for the video.)
When I am not helping my clients to improve their lives, you will find me with my daughter, helping her with her two young sons. I have lived in Germany and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe.
I hope to start working with you to improve your life very soon!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
