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.

Julissa really helped me work on myself by listening and guiding me.
Best therapist out there!!!! Always listens and has my best interest at heart.
Genuinely feel heard, and understood, when we speak. I don’t feel like I need to be reserved in how I describe things and opening up is extremely easy. Would definitely recommend.
This is my first time in therapy and I'm so relieved it has been the best experience, more than I expected. I feel heard, understood, validated, and seen. Julissa is also helping me see myself to better understand myself. It has only been 2 sessions but I have better understanding and it's connected so many things and making better sense. Feeling hopeful.
Julissa is truly amazing ! She had helped me in so many ways and I just started my therapy with her. Very happy with her.
She’s wonderful!
I’ve always had a problem finding a therapist that truly understands, helps, and listens. Julissa has been PHENOMENAL!
Julissa is super attentive and receptive. She is an excellent listener and empathetic. She focused on the individual rather than just solely their issue so that he or she can look outside and beyond the issue and see things from a greater perspective/wider scope. I like that she has a youthful energy and has the ability to relate socioculturally, which is extremely important. I think BetterHelp should seek more professionals that represent the diversity of the subscribers.
