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.

Thomas is great! I’m so happy with how he’s helped me in such a short period of time. He listens and offers direction, I feel validated and I have a renewed sense of purpose in my life which feels great.
Nothing but great things to say about my experience with Thom. Very knowledgeable and makes my time with him productive and applicable to help me better my life.
Thom Wilder is the most intelligent, educated professional therapist I have ever had. After 30 years with other therapists, in patient treatment centers and out patient facilities I had given up on ever finding someone who had the experience and strength to handle my severe CPTSD, Complicated Grief, and BPD. He has listened patiently and never tuned out my devastating past. He is the first therapist to guide me out of the darkness and showed me new ways to think and live. I cannot express my happiness enough on having found him. I'm so glad I found Betterhelp and the wonderful support they provide. "Help is on the way" emails from BetterHelp always give me a sense of peace, support, and safety. I recommend it to everyone with whom I speak.
Learned alot and have had alot of mental growth working with him
I was worried at first thinking we wouldn’t be a good match. His professionalism is top notch. Yet, he gives off an air of friendship. He’s very comforting and I’m very thankful for him.
Very timely response, thoughtful, and engaging. Gives enough room for you to talk while, also responding in a way that exposes you to new ways of thinking.
Thom is wonderfully, kind, insightful and personable. He doesn’t beat around the bush, but he always take time to listen and ask questions to truly help me understand what I’m feeling. Thom is the bomb.com/awesome!
Thom helped me overcome some of the darkest times in my life, from recent traumas to childhood traumas. For the first time I understood that I have PTSD and he was able to effectively work with me. He listens, validates and gives you the tools that work for you. I really didn't know what to expect going into this, but it has literally been the best thing I've done for myself and I am so grateful.
My first experience with a counselor and was great. I was suffering with severe anxiety and he helped me with many techniques to overcome it. He listens and it’s a smooth conversational type therapy.
Thom is very insightful and kind. He makes me see my struggles from a different perspective and helps me change my actions
I have recommended him to a coworker. Very professional. I look forward to our talks.
Thom is very available and responsive. I was worried about the online/video format not being personal, but it is working out great!
