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.

Holly has been a great help to me
Holly is awesome! Listens, and has a lot of wisdom and advise
Holly is very pleasant to talk to. I feel like at home, when we have sessions.
I’ve never felt more comfortable with a therapist. Truly
Holly is amazing! I feel so lucky to have been connected with her.
Holly is kind and insightful. I always feel better after speaking with her.
genuinely listens to concerns and provides great feedback
I highly recommend Holly as a therapist. She listens and understands my problems and we try to find a solution to fix it. Holly is a great therapist and a great friend.
Holly has been absolutely wonderful to work with! She is a fantastic listener and always asks good questions! She’s been helping me through all sorts of various situations and is always providing me a fresh perspective on what I’m seeing! I appreciate her so much and am thankful that she is always just a message away!
Holly us very kind and relatable. Willing to accommodate for me which is huge since I run a daycare so times can vary. She’s a very nice lady and easy to talk to. Which when starting BetterHelp I was not so open to speaking to someone. In my personal opinion, Holly was easy to talk to & I didn’t feel like she was occupied with other work I felt she really cared and was tuned into me, personally me & what is going on in my life . So for that I can say thank you Holly.
Holly is amazing! She’s the best
Holly Ambrose is the exact therapist I need at this time in my life. She listens to me, she talks with me, and she suggests ways to get through current emotional pain as well as steps to take to move forward and not dwell so much on past hurt. I feel better after every session.
Holly and I only recently started working together but she is amazing. She listened and heard me when I told her what I needed, and she has been very focused on addressing those things as well as offering helpful perspective on related issues. She is honest and genuine. It is hard to find genuine people and when I do I try to keep them close. I think Holly and I will have a very successful and meaningful journey together, and I feel like she is well equipped to help me become a better version of myself.
Holly is absolutely wonderful, she is willing to listen and just understand what I am going through. I don’t feel judged. I have started to feel a weight lifting off my chest and I am enjoying my life again. I will forever feel grateful to Holly for giving me the best experience with getting profesional help.
Holly’s mindful approach has really helped me understand the power that we hold to heal ourselves. She has great ideas and exercises that are applicable to what I need for my mental health journey.
So far she has been fantastic
