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.

Katie Briggs is a great therapist, listener and motivater! She is very educated on anxiety, phobias and how the mind works. She is very compassionate and always makes me feel seen and valued. She has given me tons of guidance and assurance on my progress. We work together towards my goals and she always makes sure to remind me that I am making progress even when I do not see it myself. I have learned coping skills and strategies as well as a plan for recovery and working on my irration fears. Thank you Katie!!

Katie is literally the best, and the only person I know who can get me out of bed before 9a on a weekend,

Reviewed April 2022

I asked her for help separating from my son in a healthy way. She obviously didn’t read my file - by the end of our first text session, she told me I needed more than what BetterHelp could give. She then proceeded to tell me “I wouldn’t be a whole person” until I received trauma therapy. So basically, I’m still lost about how to let my son grow up, and I feel like a lost cause about my mental health in general.
