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.

Miss. Gordon is awesome
She is a wonderful therapist who has contacted me on a daily basis, checking in and making sure that my goals are being worked on with me. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and she’s been patient even when I have difficulty controlling how I feel in the moment.
Ruby is and has been an incredible support. Whether that’s sending daily affirmations to check in, to having an impactful video call. She is empathetic and understands a lot about the new worlds of relationships and business. I really appreciate having someone like Ruby within a hands reach to talk to knowing that she will respond. Thank you for supporting me through my journey Ruby.
I love Ruby so much!
Ruby is insightful, caring & focused on helpful tools to move me towards my goal of a clear mind & hopeful future.
I like Ruby. Still getting to know each other right now.
Ruby is amazing! Attentive, compassionate, understanding, and always checking in to see if I need anything. My mental health has improved so much since I started therapy. Thank you for always being there when I need it!
I have had different kinds of marriage counseling and personal counseling before… But working with Ruby and better help has been an amazing experience! Thank you for being here for me!
Ruby is one of the kindest, most genuine, and most real people you can meet. Very motivational and encouraging. Understanding and helpful. Always checking in and always sending helpful resources.
She listens. She responds with helpful exercises.

Ruby is attentive and wonderful! Highly recommend.
Ruby is the absolute best!! She has made my experience with therapy so great and has helped me tremendously in such a small amount of time!! Can’t wait to see where this journey goes and to continue to overcome obstacles in my life!!
Ruby is incredibly attentive, open, and understanding. I always receive messages from her each day with reminders &/or motivators at the beginning and end of the day. I feel heard and feel like I'm being offered doable HW that is helping improve in the areas that I want or need to work on. In the short time I've been seeing Ruby so far, I've already seen more progress than attempting to do the work solo or with previous programs and therapists I have been with. She's uplifting, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and fun!
