Sheila really listened when I felt like I had no one else to confide in

I always look forward to my therapy sessions with Sheila. I really do feel like she understands me and helps me look at the situations I’m going through in a different light. I love how relaxed she is, it’s doesn’t feel like I’m talking to a therapist, it feels like I’m asking a friend for help which I really appreciate. I have already recommended BetterHelp to my friends because of the amazing experience I’ve had with Sheila through BetterHelp.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Clients mention: Understands Amazing Comfortable The best

Sheila really listened when I felt like I had no one else to confide in

I love having her as my therapist. She understands me.

I’m not the best at reviews and tend to shy away from them but I feel so strongly that I feel not doing so would not do her justice. I feel extremely satisfied and comfortable with sharing my issues with her to help me I hope others reach out and can feel the same.
