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.

William Thornett is an amazing therapist. He was able to help me understand where the underlying issue was and how to help cope, unpack or manage those issues. Struggling with high anxiety and ADHD is difficult but William was able to provide great worksheets that introduced simple exercises that I could do on a day to day basis to help manage and start putting my life back on a healthy track. He was professional, easy to talk to and most of all he was relatable, I didn't feel like I was talking to someone who doesn't understand what I am experiencing. I am forever grateful

Will is a great empathetic listener. By the end of our conversations, I would always feel validated, empowered, and confident with what my next moves (whether it was to do or not to do) should be. Going from a place of feeling completely emotionally stuck to now having peace in my heart once along with new perspectives I can take with me is invaluable. Thanks Will!

I am someone who has intermittently been to therapy many times over the course of the past 15+ years, and am very familiar with the processes, treatments and differing approaches. That said, I went into BetterHelp open minded and hopeful, but to be honest, with low expectations. All I knew is that I needed someone to talk to and needed some help. What I didn’t expect to find in such short order, was a connection with a therapist who was able to quickly understand and relate to my issues, offer an amazing amount of insight, provide meaningful thought exercises, and someone who I could tell was genuinely empathetic towards what I was going through and very much interested and motivated by helping me work through these issues. I’m happy to say that William has definitely been that person. I’ve worked with William for a solid month now on some very long standing and disruptive anxiety issues. He has already helped me tremendously in real tangible ways. William is a great listener, stays engaged, very insightful, even willing to role play and practice through sticky issues, and is always working to give you the proper tools to help turn your issues around. I am thankful to have been connected with William, and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing some help.
