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.

Fantastic person
I am very pleased with my therapist Dawn Thompson. She asked me some questions that helped me jump into action that provided some mental relief. I have already told my friends and family that Betterhelp is worth it!
Dawn has been extremely helpful with me in this journey of trying to better myself. I couldn't ask for a better person to speak with!
While I didn’t have her as a therapist for too long, the sessions we had has made a huge difference already. Find myself implementing what we talked about daily, I’ve been taking the advice she has given me and I will continue to do so. Highly recommend!
Very professional and caring and understanding
My therapist Dawn Thompson listened to me and gave me great advice. My therapist also checked on me to see how I was doing and that meant a lot to me. I was comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Dawn and I usually do not talk with anyone other than GOD and my daughters about my personal business. I appreciate my principal for advising me to talk with someone and Better Help was a great choice. Thanks Dawn for everything.

Dawn is great, very flexible , and caring! My first session was like talking to a friend or colleague but with expertise! Highly recommend!
Dawn is absolutely fantastic and has been a gem during this confusing and dark time in my life. I appreciate how empathetic she is and how helpful she is in helping me to realize what I’m feeling and to help organize my thoughts. I also really appreciate that she also makes room to just listen to everything going on that I need to let out. I’m very grateful that I was paired with her for my first experience with BetterHelp.
