Ms. Glayds is very kind, listens to me, helps me understand what I'm going through and she remembers things I've said. Also, when I leave a session still upset she sends me messages, and lets me know she's thinking of me.

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.

Gladys is an amazing! She was very attentive and warm and really made me feel heard and seen. I’m really glad I got to work with her and she has really aided me with my recovery from my trauma. Thank you, Gladys!
Gladys provided valuable feedback which I will use going forward.
Although I haven’t known Gladys for a long time, I really like her and would recommend her to others! She has a lot of wisdom… especially for middle age women like me!!!
She's very kind, compassionate and has a nice soothing voice, which helps calm me.
I am very grateful that Better Help matched me with Gladys! She kindly shares her deep knowledge and expertise and I always feel better after our sessions! She has a ton of resources, tools and techniques to benefit my recovery process. I highly recommend her!
Very understanding
Literally the best! Takes time to really understand me and my situation. I always get valuable feedback.
Gladys is very pleasant to speak to and always encouraging.
Gladys is absolutely a wonderful therapist and is very kind. My only problem is that I would appreciate if she offered more suggestions and actually gave me some more critiques. She’s a perfect listener, but I definitely do need some Solutions when I am talking about a conundrum. I accidentally pressed 10 in terms of how perfect of a therapist, I would actually say an eight.
Gladys is wonderful supportive curious and insightful. She has inspired me to be better
Really good therapist
Only had 2 sessions with Gladys and even though we had video connection difficulties which lost some of our time in the hour session. All was well in the end. Hopefully it will work smoothly next week as it's good to see one and other. Thank you.
Gladys is great!!! But the connection today would not connect so we did not have a proper session. We chatted message for about 10 minutes.
I love Gladys. She makes me feel heard and she gives me (not assignments) but food for thought to carry with myself through my weeks and it truly does help. I never been in therapy before and this is my very first time and she makes me fall in love with seeking this app. I’m grateful to have her as my therapist!
Very welcoming and warm. Definitely made me feel excited and ready for therapy again after years of not really feeling comfortable. I’m looking forward to continuing my process with her.
