I love that my therapist is a woman of color and down to earth. The ability to chat versus being face to face or having to talk on the phone keeps me from having to take time off from work or to chat while my daughter is in the room. No one knows I’m having a therapy session while they are sitting in the same room with me. I’m already benefiting from the tools she gave me from our very first session!

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.

As a member of a church body it has been a great experience to be able to connect with a therapist that is also in tuned with her relationship with God and he able to offer me Godly advice. I love that she listens to me and explores me before coming to any conclusions. This has been a very trying time of my life and I am thankful that I was able to speak with Mrs Boyd to help me through it. If I was to ever come back to Better Help I would use her again, she's relatable, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Sometimes people offer you what you want to hear but she tells you what you need to hear in a respectful way of course, but honesty is what gets people out of ruts so they know exactly what to face head on. Thank you for being a therapist with Better Help Mrs Boyd and thank you for letting God use you.

LaVondra was great! She listened to me and I felt like she understood. She took my concerns and provided me with more than one approach. This was important because it gave me the ability to plug and play or use a blended approach. My sessions with LaVondra were my weekly stress reliever. Unfortunately, I moved to a state that she wasn’t licensed. I would recommend her.
