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.

Xoxoxo
Tomasina has been a great fit for me. She does a great job listening but also probing to better understand me and what I’m trying to say. She has provided great guidance that has given me hope and a positive outcome.
Tomasina Beckford listens as a friend, advises as a doctor, encourages as a sister. I've been so grateful for her kindness during a stressful time.
I was unsure about seeking therapy on BetterHelp since I have always gone to traditional therapist in office, but Tomasina could not have been a better match for me. I immediately felt like I could trust her and could tell her anything. She also made strides in the FIRST SESSION that previous therapist have not done in years. I'm incredibly impressed and highly recommend Tomasina!
She’s allowed me to open up and has opened my eyes to things I never knew about myself and given me the insensitive to change and fix problems I didn’t even know I had. She’s pretty great.
So far, she has been a good match. She is very kind attentive and encouraging. I definitely feel I have much needed emotional support, and I feel confident she will continue to provide the help I’ve been seeking for a long time.
Tomasina is wonderful! She allows me to be myself and is very supportive and easy to talk to. She never makes me feel judged or embarrassed.
She has helped me so much in our short time together.
Very attentive. Finds a solution. Measured and positive responses.
