About online counseling

- Convenient.

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.

Overall rating:
He has been great - super helpful and relatable. Sad to see him go!!
Great listener. Very personable. Would recommend him to anyone
Ted has been amazing! He helped me to understand myself better and give my tools to help myself
Ted's an incredibly kind and intelligent person with a great sense of humour and comforting demeanor. He always offers well informed unbiased insight into issues and has timely replies. He also offers weekly reflective messages that are well thought out and helpful. Can't reccommend him enough
Ted has helped me tremendously. I can’t imagine my life without us now
He’s compassionate and honest, and listens for language that I use to teach me to be more compassionate to myself.
Ted has been great from the very start would 100% recommend to anyone!
Wish a face to face session was possible (not virtually). Best therapist I’ve ever had. Listens, provides silence when needed - the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt in a therapy session which has allowed a lot of growth.
Ted made me feel at ease from our first interaction. He is always flexible and understanding,very knowledgeable and always adopts the right tone and attitude. He always makes sure that he understands what I m expressing,lifts my mood with humour when needed and has a very friendly manner
I feel like Ted goes beyond and above to be a great therapist. I truly feel lucky to have been paired up with him. I have always been pretty surprised with how much he remembers of the things I’ve told him. I also really like how he motivates me with my work/professional life. I originally joined BetterHelp while dealing with a personal relationship issue and Ted has helped me with way more in my life.
He has been super helpful
Ted has been absolutely amazing to work with. His warm and friendly demeanor makes opening up easy and makes the sessions comfortable when working through difficult areas. Ted listens well and provides helpful feedback along with applicable tools. He answers messages in a timely manner and often sends check in messages throughout the week. I really appreciate his weekly messages providing further information and tools regarding anxiety/depression. Overall I highly recommended working with Ted!
I went through a couple therapist on the platform before Ted. He's exactly what I needed. He's been able to support me on many different topics and challenges me. I can say that he's definitely made a difference in my life.
Ted is an excellent therapist. I have made visible progress in just a few months. I feel like Ted actually cares and that trait makes a difference. He is easily accessible and flexible with therapy formats, which has been extremely helpful. I am grateful for Ted’s experience, guidance and the fact that he is easy to talk with.
Good listener! Would recommend him and Better help.
Ted made me feel very safe and at ease the moment I met him. He truly listens and offers great insight and practical advice.
Ted is very compassionate and a great listener. He's been helping me navigating a very difficult period of my life and I find his help invaluable. I love his weekly motivational messages and the fact that our sessions always have a definitive goal in mind. He's kind and cheerful and I feel like he really cares about helping others navigate their problems and restore their happy and cheerful lives.
Ted does a fantastic job making me feel comfortable enough to talk and allows small amounts of silence to allow processing and digesting topics or information. He has a great attitude and genuinely seems to care about his client.
Very patient, kind, supportive but also not afraid to challenge bad thinking.
I joined better help at a time of crisis,when was faced once again with a lot of stress and anxiety and did not know where to turn. Theo had a warm and kind demeanour from the start, even through text he has such an upbeat and humorous attitude,it feels like talking to a friend who doesn t take himself too seriously and brings you into the present moment,reminding you about all the good things around us. He is very knowledgeable and the weekly messages on top of the therapy sessions open up new roads towards a better daily life. I also appreciate his flexibility and time management skills. Highly recommend both the service and him as a therapist!
So far Ted has been awesome. He’s very accepting and I never feel judged. I feel super comfortable being my real self with him and couldn’t be happier to work with Ted.
I appreciate that Ted has useful insights, and is willing to engage with me on my own terms, without judgment.
Listens without judgement. Helps me to focus on my needs and goals. Does not insert his opinion of how I should handle the issues causing me distress in my life.
Theodore is extremely helpful and easy to talk to. He understands me and has got to know me as a person. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
He has helped me survive week after week and helped me see what I already knew but had a hard time accepting. He is always there to help me if I need help. A Saint to say the least
Theodore has been absolutely amazing. I have grown leaps and bounds with his support over the last few months. I am so thankful for him and BetterHelp.
From day one, Theodore Faneuff has consistently excelled in my expectations as my online therapist. During our weekly hour-long sessions, he would listen very carefully to my exact words, analyze my micro-expressions, and body language and used the Cognitive Model to counteract these negative, self-limiting thoughts. Session after session, my thoughts about being unintelligent, unproductive, un-dateable slowly started turning around. Overall, Ted is everything you'd want in a professional 5/5 therapist!
Ted has been a compassionate and passionate guide during this troubling time. His insights and calming words have allowed me to step back and really assess why my emotional responses are what they are. His Christian faith and integration of God’s word into his guidance have been great comforts. I was skeptical of this mode of counseling but I am no longer skeptical. I am a strong supporter. And Ted is in large measure responsible for that.
Theo has been very supportive & non judgemental as he helps me through a trouble time in my personal life. All I really want is someone to offload my thoughts to & get some perspective & support & he has been great in offering both of those without judgement.
I would and have already recommended BetterHelp to my friends. It is so nice to get a message from a professional, in my case Theodore. My counselor is very knowledgeable and understanding. Theodore and I haven’t even dug deep into my past, but have already dealt with emotions on the exterior after only a couple of weeks. I am very happy that I downloaded BetterHelp.
Though I just started with Ted I already feel like I made a great choice in working with him. I have had a couple of other counselors in the past that I never really connected with. Even though I haven't even had my first initial session with Ted, our messaging back and forth has made me feel connected, and feel like he is the best person I could be working with to help with my issues. I can tell he truly cares and is dedicated to helping as much as possible.
Very caring and provides really good insight and perspective to difficult situations.
I’m so happy I found Theodore. He’s always been quick to respond and always give me necessary tools to help me with my situation. I highly recommend him or anyone from BetterHelp.
