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.

I love speaking with Genna! She is always so kind and respectful
Genna is very helpful. She's straight forward and honest with me. I appreciate her.
Therapy has been very helpful! I enjoy working with Genna.
Genna and I started off on the right foot. She was caring and listened to my issues while giving ne meaningful work to address outside of our meetings. It felt like she truly cared about my well-being, and I was happy to see what a few more months would bring. When we started getting into more sensitive parts of my past, We had some differences with our schedule. One week, Genna misunderstood my comments and was a no-show to one of our meetings and another week. I answered her too late and missed a slot. At this point, Jenna was all too quick to give up on our sessions. Meanwhile, my past was now on the center of my mind while I was dealing with an influx of new incoming problems, and having my therapist give up on me was not a great feeling. She did not want to continue our sessions which made me feel like she did not care about helping me improve overall . I have found myself really frustrated with this and tried to come up with better solution, I suggested what if we meet at the same time on a weekly basis or what else could I do in order to keep her as my therapist, but she had no interest in doing so. She even said there was no need to go back and forth and she had a waitlist. It made me feel like a number. My only complaint would be that it did not seem like her care was enduring but If your schedule is more open, and you are more willing to adapt to her you will be in a better position than I was. Like I said she is a great listener and will give you meaningful work if you are willing to put it in. I would only wish her and her clients luck in the future!
Love speaking with her! I feel truly understood
Love our talks ! Has really been helpful
She is great!
I think she deserves a raise, because of all of the crap that I must put her through (as well as any other clients) . She's greatly appreciated.
Genna came into my life at a time when I was in a lot of chaos. She patiently worked with me until I found some peace of mind and got me through an extremely difficult period. She's kind and professional. One of the best BetterHelp has to offer.
Genna is very understating and has truly helped me become more confident
I appreciate Genna, because she does her best to follow up with me, and she offers helpful advice, and keeps after me when she hasn't heard from me in a while.
Genna gives me the support that I feel like I am lacking in life. I do not have many women that I can disclose everything with so, I feel very comfortable sharing with her. She gives me good advice and asks the right questions. She is great!
Genna is awesome. She taught me how to maintain healthier boundaries with my mom. She really listens and understands your issues.
I love talking to Genna , she always makes me feel comfortable to share whatever is on my mind
Genna was great! She understood me and help me really target the root of my issues.
I recently started with Genna, and just the couple sessions we’ve had she’s given me free range to speak freely. I trust her and feel that she’ll definitely be able to help me through what I need to. I’m excited to continue my journey of therapy with her
So far Ms.Risucci has been great. I am able to comfortably answer her questions, and I feel like she understands me and the struggles that I have.
I think she is a professional, and I look forward to working with her to overcome my issues.
She's great!
I really like Genna. We've talked about a lot and she's helped me really think about how people or things have affected my life.
Genna is absolutely amazing. Understanding, easy to talk to and shows genuine concern and interest in what I’m talking about. She has been a tremendous help during the time we have spent engaged with each other.
My counselor is amazing, always fitting me in and works with my schedule, she listens and helps where it is needed. Wouldn’t want another one
Hi Genna was great. I found that she was an active listener and enjoyed our sessions, but I think I need to find someone black to fit my needs.
Genna is great! This is my first experience with a counselor so she's extremely supportive and I really enjoy my time with her.
I’ve been working with Genna for 5 months now and she has been amazing. She has been helping me work through my grief and other issues in my life and always listens and provides a new perspective on looking at things.
Genna has truly been a huge support in my life throughout the last 6 months. She listens, shows concern, and responds in a timely manner.
Genna is easy to talk to and validates my experiences. She has helped me to understand and describe things that I was unable to put into words. I greatly appreciate her work as my counselor.
Genna has been an amazing therapist, and supported me to transform my life. I had worked with a few therapists before her and struggled to find a something that worked for me. Genna, kind, caring attitude combined with a straightforwardness, really supported me to help me reflect on parts of my life that needed to change, and I felt she was forward enough to address certain behaviors that I didn't really want to acknowledge myself. I have never worked with someone who was so easy to talk to, if your thinking about finding a counselor who's responsive, caring, and professional, Genna is #1. Thanks Genna for helping me to change my life!
I personally would like to thank Genna for a her help during my difficult time. She is very understanding and says the truth with a loving Demeanor. She’s checks up me when at times I haven’t replied back. Thank you so ever much for everything. She’s simply amazing! Cheers.
To this point, very happy with Genna as we seem to be pulling back the layers in the right cadence. Lots of work to do yet but I’m very happy to have her on my team!
Genna has been incredible to work with. She has prioritized my needs, scheduled times to speak with me and has kept up with my issues as they are unfolding in a way that makes me feel heard. I feel my time with Genna has been successful and have continued my membership just for her.
i havent had many sessions yet but i feel pretty comfortable with her
She is useful in asking important questions and listening. We are in different time zones so response time is sometimes hard, but overall this is useful for me.
Since I started therapy Genna has been so supportive. She has helped me work through so many issues. I wasn’t sure if I would like therapy but signing up and getting her as a therapist has made me so glad I did take the step. It was terrifying at first but she has continued to make me feel comfortable
Genna is kind, understanding and non-judgemental. She listens to my situation, helps me implement positive coping strategies, and helps me work through anything in life that's holding me back. She also responds quickly, keeps everything confidential, and works around my schedule. I always feel comfortable opening up to Genna. I highly recommend Genna!
I think this format has been more helpful than any other format that I've tried. I like the ability to maintain a connection inbetween video calls. I use the messaging like a journal, it allows me to write what I'm feeling when I'm feeling it.
I’ve really appreciated Genna’s help and she hears my concerns and offers valid solutions.
Genna is fantastic! I have been struggling a bit through Covid and she has helped me to find strength and hope through these challenging times. She is amazing!!
I think she's a great resource, and I'm glad that she's still listening.
She has helped me so far. I look forward to getting further help.
Genna is a wonderful counselor who takes time to listen and reply to your concerns and problems. She is supportive and very easy to open up to.
Genna is a great counsellor. She quickly understood my problems even though I came from an entirely different culture so I was worried if my BetterHelp counsellor will be able to get me or not, let alone give me therapy. But thankfully she has been so understanding that now I’m extremely comfortable sharing anything with her. She has some wonderful insights & makes me see my problems with another point of view which makes me so calm. She’s so disciplined, organized & so caring. I’m grateful to both Genna & BetterHelp!
Genna is amazing, I couldn’t have picked a better counselor, she always helps and gives me the best advice, and a solution that I didn’t think of before, and she’s very understanding and respectful, and I’m grateful.
I like Genna and am glad I was able to get her back. Feels good to know I have someone to talk to about things that are going on. I always look forward to her responses.
Genna has been such a gift! I am so grateful to be working with her. She has developed incredible insight into me in such a short period of time, and provided critical support in very trying times. I appreciate her approach and kindness, the validation she gives me, thoughtfulness in her written responses, and how she makes herself easily available, especially in times of greater need.
Genna gets down to your core fears and addresses them in an understanding, empathetic manner. She has helped me through a very difficult time and has given very valuable, practical advice time and time again. What I like about Genna is that she participates and helps you think of different solutions.
Genna has been a great help to me thus far. She is very understanding, supportive, and offers great insight. I would recommend Genna to any of my friends and family!
Genna is very attentive and helps me to be more forgiving. I think I have stuck with BetterHelp for longer than intended because of Genna.
Genna came at the right time! She is amazing, caring, and honest. I have struggled with many things throughout my life but she has been the best help anyone could hope for! I don’t know what I would do without her advice. Seriously, she’s amazing.
Beat counselor I've ever had. Really takes the time to understand and talk to her patients. Gives an at-home feeling when talking and had great understanding and therapeutic advice.
She listens. When everyone else in the world stopped listening to me. She listens. She doesn't judge at all and she's understanding. Thank you for helping me and continuing to help me.
I cannot say enough good things about Genna Risucci. She answers me daily and always gives me feedback on what I shared. Her counsel has given me so much understanding about me and my situation. I have grown so much in such a short time and feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Genna.
Gene is honest, thorough, and insightful. I could not ask for more.
Genna is great
She made me feel very safe and heard
Fantastic and very understanding.
She is so great and she helps me with everything and also finds solutions to my problems.
I feel so fortunate to have found Genna. She includes a variety of counseling techniques in our discussions and is very welcoming. She responds very quickly and is always willing to lend a helping hand if I'm having a difficult time. I highly recommend her!
Genna is wonderful, she makes you feel like an equal and doesn't allow you to feel like you are over dramatizing your situation. She's been a wonderful help and I'm so grateful to have had someone like her to talk to.
Genna has been patient, considerate and understanding of my issues and takes the time to really listen, read what I'm saying, and respond in ways that nurture and calm me down. I am very grateful to have been paired with her and I wish to continue my services with her in the future.
I started using the BetterHelp application at a very low point for me. I was matched with Genna and she was very professional, calm, friendly and she provided me with great help and advice. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is having trouble.
Genna is a great person to confide in. She writes back quick and the questions she ask always assures me that she is actually listening. I wouldn't want any other therapist. She's the one for me.
