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.

Erica is wonderful! She listens and asks thoughtful questions that I hadn’t thought of or was secretly avoiding. She’s been an essential part of my progress to be better over the last 6 months.
Erica is great!!
Erica has truly been a godsend to me! I have struggled with and managed anxiety throughout my life. When anxiety started to creep back into my life recently, I was so overwhelmed and discouraged! Erica could not have been a better match for me. She’s extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also so fun and real! This helped me to open up to her, but also helped me to laugh at myself...which I needed more than I even knew! Erica helped me remember the tools I learned in previous years of therapy, and also taught me new tools and strategies. Erica Innocent is changing the world...she certainly changed mine!!
Erica takes the time to listen and thoughtfully respond to my concerns. She is caring and supportive and helps me see situations from all angles. I am confident that she has my best interest in mind and will help me reach my goals.
Erica is great at figuring out ways to help you in your situation. She helps you to think about it and helps me get a better understanding about the situations. She gives homework when needed to help.
Erica has been such a blessing to me! I’ve struggled with anxiety throughout my life and have sought out therapy previously. After being out of therapy for a few years, I was in a place in my life where I needed a “refresh!” Erica has helped, and continues to help me use my anxiety cooping tools, build my confidence and navigate through my current life stage. She is so professional while being real and relatable. I enjoy BetterHelp and am beyond grateful that I was matched up with Erica!
Thanks to Erica, I've learned to trust the process of counseling and experience the benefits of taking the time to allow someone to understand the different challenges that each of us face. I'd recommend her and this platform without hesitation. Thanks, Erica!
I’ve been working with Erica for a couple of months, and I can say she has absolutely helped me. Not only did she understand what I wanted, she knew what I needed. It’s a testament to her talents as a counselor that she can connect with people so easily and quickly. She responds quickly to any message, is always on time for our appointments, and takes time to check in on me throughout the week—even when I don’t message her. Thank you, Erica!!
Erica has been very helpful, considerate, and caring. She is an excellent listener and hears beyond what I am saying and feeling. She is also very professional and has a lot of great exercises, homework, and information. I am glad to be able to work with her.
