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.

So lucky and blessed to have a therapist who helps me get through and process my thoughts

Jan 2024

Jesse has been immensely helpful in giving me a more constructive way to decipher the inner machinations I'm otherwise unable to figure out on my own.

Jul 2023

Jesse has been the most important and helpful tool I have had to change my life around. I am a different person than the one I was when I started work with him.

Oct 2023

I've been working with Jesse for about four months now. He's very professional yet warm and compassionate. He clearly cares deeply about his clients and goes the extra mile to speak with them and follow up outside of regularly scheduled sessions. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

Sep 2023

Couldn’t ask for a better person

Jul 2023

Plain and simple the man helped me change my life.

Jun 2023

The best! Knowledgeable, empathetic, intelligent, thoughtful, communicative, helpful, professional, caring, highly qualified…that says it all. He should write books.

Jun 2023

Jesse has been phenomenal in helping me process my grief. He’s very polite, friendly and funny. Talking with him feels like talking with an old friend. He’s very supportive, very kind and patient. He’s also a great listener and sets goals for me to complete every week. He’s responsive to my messages and always provides very good insight on everything. I probably don’t deserve such an amazing therapist.

Jun 2023

Working with Jesse is a wonderful experience! When I receive messages from him I feel that he took the time to understand what I am trying to say to him and respond back in a manner that I understand. The goals we work with are obtainable for me. As everyone is different, I can only assume that he would make adjustments for every person. When we have our sessions, I feel heard and seen; not just taken at face value. I've only had one other therapist prior to Jesse (through a different route) but understand why people go through BetterHelp, Thank you so much Jesse for everything!

Jun 2023

Jesse is so friendly! I was nervous to try BetterHelp and he made the whole process so relaxing. I really enjoy our sessions and the tools he has shown me to manage my anxiety are so helpful. I am very happy with the progress we are making so far!

May 2023

Jesse is very kind and compassionate. He's also very thoughtful with his comments and communications.

May 2023

Jesse is totally professional, supportive and listens to everything I have to say. He not only listens but understands and lets me know he understands. He offers great alternative ways to look and think about different situations. He very easy to talk to and I feel comfortable opening up to him about personal issues in my life. I feel lucky to have found him and appreciate him very much.

May 2023

Jesse has helped me immensely.

Mar 2023

Jesse is a wonderful therapist who listens to my needs and provides great advice. I trust his expertise. Highly recommend !

Mar 2023

Jesse brings a calm and attentive style to session, and is good at selecting tools (models, articles, worksheets) to present alternative ways to work on patterns in my thinking. He checks in with me between sessions and keeps my "stories" straight between work related dynamics and family struggles. I would recommend Jesse to anyone.

Mar 2023

Jesse has helped me change my life. When I started with him I had given up hope on getting better and was in a mode of just doing nothing for myself and continuing 2 get more and more unhealthy. I can say I’m a different person with hope for the future since I started work with Jesse. He is quick 2 respond and always checks in through text

Mar 2023

Jesse is always genuinely interested in my well being and offers insight and solutions and I'm very grateful for his help.

Mar 2023

Jesse has been wonderful in both his professional approach and his ability to have relatability to situations proposed in our therapy sessions. I would encourage anyone on the fence about getting professional therapy help to really consider Jesse or anyone from better help, as I feel it checks a box with modern applications of therapy for everyone (the ability to message and video call instead of just meeting in person)

Feb 2023

Jesse is as friendly and compassionate as they come. He is understanding, supportive, and listens without judgement. I appreciate his ability to unpack my inner dialogue and provide tools that have helped me to navigate life with new perspective and appreciation. I am comfortable speaking openly with Jesse because he's been able to spot things that I had no awareness of and he is very gentle yet honest with his feedback. Jesse makes me feel more like a friend and less like a client.

Feb 2023

Mr. Waltz is exceedingly professional and understanding. He has given me resources to help me utilize in my daily life.

Jan 2023

Jesse has helped me make major changes in my life. Idk where I would be be without him. He’s makes himself available beyond why I expected and really goes above and beyond whenever possible.

Dec 2022

Jesse is profoundly intelligent and intuitive. So thankful for his insights.

Nov 2022

Jesse is greatly respectful, considerate, and clearly genuinely cares about my progress and improvement. I consider Jesse to be a true professional and I have come to greatly appreciate his work and ability to help me. While the outcome of my situation is not in his control, if things don't go my way at least I do feel much better equipped to deal with such situations as this in the future.

Nov 2022

Jesse Waltz is a 5 star therapist. He is a great listener and made the process of getting better very easy. He always responds in a timely matter and he checks in on a regular basis.

C.O.·Jul 2022

Mr. Waltz is amazing. Highly recommended. He talks to me like a friend and definitely makes me feel so much better. I see a big improvement already in 2-3 weeks.

C.H.·Jul 2022

I was very nervous to make this first step and Jesse has made this process a lot easier. He is very patient and welcoming and I feel no judgements or pressures to do or say anything I don’t feel comfortable doing.
