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.

Excellent counselor.
Tracie has been a wonderful support for me as I found a place for me in my busy life while processing my grief. Tracie was so understanding and encouraging and I got a lot out of my time with her, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. Thank you, Tracie!
Tracie is non-judgmental and welcoming in her language while we communicate. She also checks in on me when I haven't written for a few days. She is very supportive and asks good questions to guide my thoughts.
She’s been such a help and I feel that she’s always there to look after me.
Tracie is amazing! The best ever! Thank you for all you do!
She’s the best therapist I have ever had. I don’t feel like I’m being lectured or that I’m talking to just a friend. I am talking with someone who is an expert, understand where I am, meets me there and helps me find a path, maps and tools to deal with my past, present and future. She remembers things and follows up with it.
I’m so grateful I was connected with Tracie. She is understanding, open minded, and a great listener. She makes me feel heard and has provided me with resources and tools to overcome my hurdles and better myself.
I got on to Betterhelp and Tracie just as my life was going through one big change in January 2020, after a decade of stability. A few months in Covid struck, and my life has been non stop change since then. I don't know how I could cope with all this change without her, and I'm so happy she's there with me on my journey of unemployment, a new job, moving cities, a new relationship...it never ends.
Tracie has been a huge part in helping me get in a better place in my life.
Tracie helped me get through some of the worst times in my life and I'm really grateful that she is my counselor. She has a lot of expertise and gives advice that has really helped. She always responds in a timely manner and offers useful worksheets & techniques to use.
Tracie is fantastic! She is very attentive, and her advice has, on more than one occasion, worked very well for me. More than anything I value the fact that she is a great and compassionate listener.
Tracie is a compassionate counselor who takes the time to truly embrace the feelings of others. She also provides authentic feedback; it feels like I am corresponding with a good friend, as she promotes a comfortable communication platform. She has been helpful to me thus far and I am glad we connected through Better Help.
Tracie is wonderful. I cannot express in words how helpful she has been. I highly recommend her.
Tracie helped me cope with the most difficult situation in my life. I was in a really bad place and having, well, not the best thoughts about my life when I started talking to her, but she helped me ground my thoughts and redirect all my emotions into positive actions. I am really thankful I connected with her when I did!
I was really skeptical about online counseling but once I started talking with Tracie it was an amazing experience. She helped a lot with some of my daily struggles and thanks to her I have been doing much better now.
She's very open and warm and offers good resources to help with my issues. She very friendly and relatable. Would recommend Tracie.
She's very very kind and a good listener. She responds my message immediately even on weekends. I really appreciate the methods she recommended but unfortunately I was too agitated and impatient to try most of them. She is absolutely great and teach me about my condition. I always feel relieved after talking to her.
I do appreciate Tracie’s listening skills and her compassionate demeanour. I hope with time I get clarity with my situation and I know with Tracie’s support I will get there.
Tracie gets what I'm saying. Without fail she listens, gets it and offers a practical tip or some guidance. I always look forward to our sessions and outside of that she always responds quickly to messages.
Tracie’s been nothing but amazing so far. Understanding, kind and attentive, she’s really helping me work through some difficult times right now.
She’s wonderful. I like that she talks so I don’t have to explain or answer “how does that make you feel” it’s like speaking to a friend that gets it. And then knows how to help
Messages from Tracie have been a great guiding light, giving me the confidence to move forward.
Tracie is a caring person, good at encouraging me to continue moving forward without discounting the challenges I am dealing with right now. I like that I can share with her "in the moment" via text. She responds in a timely manner & she even checked in on me when I was busy moving & she hadn't heard from me. We have a good rapport & I am looking forward to continuing to work through some life stressors with Tracie.
Tracey is compassionate, practical, warm, and has a good sense of humour. She can laugh with you at the challenges of life. I'm glad to know her.
She checks in often and is very timely with her responses. I feel that she is exactly the right therapist for me.
She is very professional, attentive, caring and helpful.
Tracie is such a kind and supportive counsellor. I trust her, and always feel better after talking to her.
Tracie is a great therapist. She knows how to listen to what you’re saying without thinking of about what to say next so she really gets what you’re saying and replies with very useful suggestions. She’s patient and intelligent and very calm and a great person to talk to.
