I always thought BetterHelp was too good to be true, but this platform, and especially Andrea, have exceeded my needs and expectations. Andrea is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She is a great listener and validates my feelings. Her welcoming, lighthearted demeanor make me very comfortable. I feel as though I am chatting with a friend. I appreciate her availabilty for live sessions and her responsiveness with messages. It’s also nice to have someone who understands living in Michigan, as many of my stressors are environmental. Thank you for everything, Andrea!

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.
