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.

She is amazing. She is absolutely my favorite therapist I have seen. I pay for services even though I can get it for free with insurance because I love talking to Sheila Adams and how we connect and how I can come to her and talk to her about anything with our being judged by her when ever I need too. Thank you Sheila.

I have been seeing therapist for over 9 years now, and I have to say I won't go anywhere else. I have insurance where I don't need to pay, but I feel so comfortable with Sheila Adams that I don't mind paying just to keep her as my therapist. She is amazing.

Great and attentive. Keeps coming back to check up. Feel at ease with her

Sheila is really good at listening. I have some really complicated things to say, and I'm not even sure if they're true; but she listens, takes them seriously, and --- most importantly --- asks questions that I haven't thought of myself. :-)

Sheila is amazing! I am so thankful for her time and the benefits I have had from our sessions together.

Shelia works hard to give you real world solutions to real problems. I have been having difficulty sleeping for over five years, and after a few lifestyle changes this has changed. She doesn't "beat around the bush" and will tell you like it is without losing her therapeutic and caring tone/personality. I look forward to my sessions with Shelia as I feel like I continue to grow and improve with her guidance.

Sheila has been a major part of my healing process! She has helped in so many aspects of my life, from anxiety to releasing tension from day to day stresses! She is easy to talk to and checks in on my progress too! I think everyone should try therapy, and BetterHelp is a great start!

My counselor Sheila Adams is one like i never had before. She really listens. She helps me see different ways to understand what is situation is and how many ways to cope and find a outcome with it. I really feel as if i can trust her and trust that she knows how to help me.

Sheila is an excellent therapist. I’ve spoken with quite a few over the years and Sheila is the first therapist I’ve spoken to that has made me feel supported and understood. I’ve been making progress with her help and I’m extremely grateful to be working with her.

I honestly hate counseling. I have had so many and I just stop going. But Sheila makes it fun. She really helps me with all my concerns. She listens to me. I also am way more comfortable typing my feelings through out the week. I feel very comfortable with her to be able to have a video or call session with her. I hate talking to people. She makes me feel comfortable and confident to be able to talk to her. I would highly recommend her. She also understands how difficult it is for me with my two kids. She understands why I can't always make it to our sessions. I really appreciate Sheila, she has helped me so much. Thank you.
