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.

Ed Larkin is very good
Ed/Ted is an incredible therapist. Even if he doesn’t have many of the life experiences that I’ve had, he listens carefully. He asks clarifying questions. He empowers and teaches me. He encourages me especially since this is something I often need. He does not diminish or minimize my thoughts or feelings. He’s also quite funny! I look forward to therapy because I know I will always find value in the session even though the sessions aren’t the same. I’m really quite grateful for him.
Ed is very intelligent interesting and patient. He takes his time to understand you as an individual and your situation and recommends practical advise you can apply immediately
Great so far
Edward is amazing. I wish I still lived in Minnesota!! He was always making me feel better and gave me the best advice on how to work on problems that I had coming up. I definitely recommend him!
Amazing therapy
Mr Larkin is very good
Ed is great. He is extremely experienced. He takes time to understand the challenges and unique nature of his clients needs to be able to work with them effectively.
While my therapy has been very recent, that Edward has been incredibly understanding and compassionate, while giving the best insight to helping myself grow as an individual. I have appreciated Edward's methods to give advice that's helped me understand the tangled thoughts I have, and structure it to acknowledge what opportunities I can give myself and be kinder to myself.
Very easy to approach. Very good at listening and also talking and giving good advice that relates to my situation
He is just so comforting. I really look forward to our sessions.
He is a really good listener and would definitely recommend him.

Professional yet kind and compassionate. Ed is always offering up an ear to listen and suggestions when I feel stuck. I would highly recommend this therapist. His expertise and passion for his work is unmatched.
Ted is an incredibly patient and easy to work with guy. He treats me as an individual and provides very thoughtful and helpful advice. I feel like I'm working with someone who cares.
Ed is a wonderful therapist. Very helpful very kind and very wise. Has helped me with several issues and is always respectful and has a great sense of humor.
Ted (Edward) is a supportive therapist with a great listening face. He does not seem to judge or assume he had all the answers to life’s problems. I appreciate his straightforward responses and his book recommendations.
Edwin has such a calming presence but is straight forward and level headed. He is one of the best therapists I've had.
I really enjoy our session.
Very great listener! Gives you honest advice and asks a lot of questions, makes you feel validated while also helping you see the things you can’t!
Great listener.. very open minded... listens to my concerns. Would highly recommend.
He is a fantastic listener. Whatever you need to say he will help you get to where you need to be to say it. From my first session I felt comfortable with him enough to get right into the thick of the issues right away. He is the best communicator on this app. He checks in weekly if you don’t necessarily need to chat with him right now. And if you do need to chat right now he should respond in 24 hours or less, in my experience it’s been way less. Fantastic guy, two thumbs way up, highly recommended.
I have just started seeing Edward Larkin and this is my first experience with therapy. I was a little hesitant at first since I just didn't know what to expect. He has truly been wonderful. I feel like he listens and understands my concerns. He works with me to find solutions that I can work into my life. Therapy isn't a quick fix, but because of Edward I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.
Ed is a wonderful therapist l. He is a great listener and very wise and has helped me very much with my stressors in my life. I highly recommend him!
Ed is amazing! He really lays the groundwork to start digging into and navigating how to process experiences while creating a plan to integrate tools to enhance quality of mental and emotional well-being. I appreciate is affirming, compassionate approach.
Just what I needed. He is full of patience, sage advice, caring words, wonderful feed back, great honesty.
Better Help (Ted especially)instantly helped at a time where my life felt most hectic. I feel like I can finally live life without walking on egg shells knowing that I have the support and the listening ear of Ted. I know my friends get sick of listening to me vent so I feel so much better knowing that there is actually someone I can rely on to listen and give non-bias support anytime.
Ted is a super cool, stand-up guy. He's good at giving you your words back to make sure he's understanding what you're explaining and has a couple good jokes too. The support has been beautiful.
