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.

Margaret has been so kind and patient with me. She’s helped me through a lot and I’m so grateful to have had her.
Margaret has been an amazing help to me over the last 5 months. She remembers all the details about my life and my struggles, and really makes an effort to listen and offer positive solutions. Her worksheets have been fantastic, as well as all of her advice. A huge thank you to her (and BetterHelp) for matching me up with her! Thank you ❤️!
Margaret is the best! She is cool and understanding and lets you lead the sessions and focus on what YOU need.
She is very intuitive and receptive to what her client needs. It is obvious that she has a lot of experience with many different mental health struggles, but she is very perceptive of individual needs. She is a great listener and provides excellent advice and feedback.
She has been really helpful. She listens to what I say.
She's great, she makes suggestions and not tell me how to fee
So nice, she makes me cry every week in the best ways. :)
Easy to talk too. Sends me really on point worksheets that help me assess and learn what's going on in my mind.
Margaret has been a great help to me. She listens to my problems and is helping me through a very difficult time in my life.
