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.

Great talking to Preston, he really listens to all my concerns and give very informative and constructive ways of dealing with my issues and concerns
Preston is a very easy person to talk to. He also offers great advice for those who are in a rut!
Preston is awesome. Great listener and he works in mysterious ways. I was expecting homework and exercises and instead he gave me concepts to look up and YouTube videos to check out and random quotes and as I look back after 4 sessions I’ve made a ton of progress. He’s been amazing to work with. Down to earth and he’s got so much life experience he can really make you appreciate the small things. Would definitely recommend
Very professional and good listener
Preston is 100% honest and genuine
Preston is the best therapist I have had in all the years I’ve sought out help. He has this incredible ability to help you open up without it being an interrogation. In the last few months I have felt that I am able to focus and have conversations without getting overwhelmed or having anxiety. He’s helped me build my confidence and taught me that I AM IMPORTANT.
I’ve been on Better Help for a couple of months and my therapist has given me resources as well as the confidence to rebuild my self image. I’ve also joined in on some support groups. Sharing my feeling a and experienced and being able to relate to others has really helped me build compassion for myself and others. Now I feel more in control of the situations in my life and I feel like I can handle them with care instead of acting impulsively. Thank you Better Help, and thank you Preston Page. Keep up the great work!
Preston is a calm and good listener. I appreciate our talks and the insight he provides. :)
Been only a few weeks but I’m feeling progress
Preston is a very good listener as well as a person with the talents to u see stand and to guide someone to the right path to heal. The way he just has a conversation with me makes it so much easier to get what I need to say out. He is awesome!!!
Preston is great, he provides great perspective and is very focused on making sure you are getting the support you need —10/10!
Preston was a really helpful in dealing with my test anxiety. His immense experience really helped me through thoughts and he always made me feel validated and put things in perspective. A true master of his craft. Airborne!
Preston is…the first therapist I’ve had in years who actually validates what *I* want, instead of telling me what to do. The four therapists I had before him? All gave dismissive responses like “yeah, but you don’t want that. What you want is…[something I don’t want. At all].” Preston actually asks “Hmm, so it sounds like you want this. Is that right? Oh? Hmm, oh okay so you said you want this. If that’s what you want, then that’s valid”
I greatly appreciate how Preston leads me to being able to continually improve on my own. If you went to a personal trainer who said "as long as you work with me, you'll be fine" you'd be wanting some independence sooner rather than later. I think of therapy the same way; I believe Preston Page has helped me reach a point where I can help myself in the future!
I’m not great at talking about things yet, but he is very patient with me and asks questions to help me along. He listens well and is easy to talk with.
He’s easy to talk with and I’m comfortable discussing anything with him. I will be talking with him again.
Preston is a very good listener. I enjoy our sessions.
Preston has been wonderful for me during my first time seeking therapy. I had read that it can take several tries to find the right therapist for you but I was lucky to have Preston work out for me on the first try! Preston discusses things in a way that is relatable to me and has good suggestions.
Preston is a very caring man and works very hard in finding solutions for what's troubling you. He is a great listener, And it's very obvious that he cares that you come to a great understanding On how to deal with your own trouble. He actually answers your questions he doesn't just ask you another question and it gives you lots of material that you can research yourself when you're not in a session with him. I am so thankful for him and I am so thankful for this website better help.
