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.

Yvonne is an asset to BetterHelp, I definitely wouldn’t want to undertake this journey with anyone else
Love speaking with Yvonne. She always hears me and gives me sound advice.
I saw Yvonne for a couple sessions and I do have to say that she has a very blunt and analytical approach to therapy. So I would not recommend her if you are looking for someone who is compassionate and considerate of your feelings.

Yvonne intently listens and provides me with the tools I need.
In the few sessions that I’ve had with Yvonne - I feel heard and seen. She is get at summarizing our learnings from each session and has provided work sheets to take leanings forward.
