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.

In the short time I’ve worked with Amber so far, she has already greatly impacted my perspective and my relationship with myself.
Very helpful and I look forward to our conversations every week. Easy to talk to and listens well
She listens to me and offers me ways to complete my thoughts or how to cope with feelings or stress
I have only had a couple of sesssions but she has helped me so much I really like and respect her she’s very good at her work I highly recommend her she’s the best
She is very professional, listens and helps me feel like I’m not alone in this. 10/10
Amber is extremely skilled at her job and has made a huge positive impact in my life! I feel really lucky to have been paired with her.
Amber has given me so much insight and stability this past year. I feel loved by the way she pays attention to me, makes time for answering questions, and meets me where I'm at. Excellent!
Thank you for being willing to listen and be open minded.
She was wonderful and was very surprised how quick she responded at all hours of the day.
Amber uses a multitude of modalities to help me while providing homework that helps me to explore my tendencies on my own time. I enjoy the positive affirmations she does. She has been my therapist for over a year now and I feel like she has helped me grow. I still have more work to do but I wouldn’t trust any other therapist to help me do it.
Amber is a thorough, thoughtful therapist who will explain and talk through any issue I’ve had.
I consider myself one of the luckiest people on earth knowing that I have amber as my therapist. Amber is SO intelligent, personable, a great listener and above all, she is a GREAT problem solver. She allows me to work myself to a resolution with her help and its always so impressive. She is multifaceted is her approach to each situation. She offers MANY tools to help - ie: art, poems, books, movies, and they are all challenging. It's been almost a year now and I could not thank her enough for the help she has given me.
Amber is patient and empathetic. She has been a wonderful fit for me personally and has helped me understand much more about myself. I'm so thankful for her and her dedication!
Amber is the best! She not only completely understands my situation but also has many resources to help me dig a little deeper and understand myself! My sessions with her always leave me feeling like I've got a better grip, and that someone really cares.
Amber is thoughtful, listens and provides good insight. I enjoy our conversations.
Amber is very sweet and helpful. She sends out motivational quotes that always seem to hit the right spot when I need them. And she checks in between appointments to make sure you are doing ok. I feel heard and the “homework” she assigns is relevant and effective. I’m so glad she’s my therapist
Amber is very attentive. She sends me a daily quote & responds in a timely matter. When a time isn’t showing on her schedule, she still tells me what’s available for a session even if I don’t see the time. She listens & provides feedback & I love the “homework” she gives me to help in my healing journey.
Amber has supported me, listened to me, and guided me with so much knowledge and patience. I am so thankful for her!
She was absolutely awesome, and helpful. She gave me great coping techniques to use and was very therapeutic.
She is awesome
Amber is ABSOLUTELY amazing!! She listens to me in full and let’s me ramble until it’s all off my chest. My favorite part about therapy with her is how she handles different scenarios and ways that we do therapy (drawing, music, movies, work books etc). She’s honest, caring, and extremely intelligent. I always leave our sessions with smile and usually laughing. I’m very thankful to have found her in my therapy journey. I consider myself very lucky!
She’s the best!
I’ve worked with Better Help and Amber previously. She’s so good that I’ve resubscribed so she could help me with a current issue. Highly recommend her.
Amber is great. She gives me a lot of helpful tools to apply to my every day life and conversations.
My experience with Amber Clay had been nothing but wonderful and positive. She has helped me so much!
Great listener. I never feel judged, always very helpful.
She has been wonderful, insightful and helps me find just what technique works best for me. 10 out of 10 highly recommend
Amber is awesome and listens to my needs and the things I struggle and gives solutions to my issues to make everything happier within myself.
Absolute 5 stars! Amber is the perfect fit for me. She was never judgmental, always allowed me to talk and she would guide me through the conversation to look at things in a different point of view. I appreciate the “homework” so I had goals to work towards until my next appointiment. In all my years of therapy, I never met someone who was more relatable and comforting than Amber. I’ve learned so much and I love myself more than ever. She is amazing, funny and a wonderful therapist!
Amber is very kind. She listens well and makes you feel heard and supported. She’s great and I would absolutely recommend her.
Amber is an amazing listener with very good insight. I was and am pleasantly shocked by her ability to help. Getting on here is one of the best choices I’ve made in awhile.
Amber is a great listener. She offers suggestions of things that help my outlook on the world around me.
Amber is kind and gentle but makes sure to ask thought provoking questions that hold me accountable.
The tools she has given are working and giving me hope that things can change. Hopefully this will keep up. I know she'll help me design a plan to keep up this healthy change.
Amber does a great job with literally everything! In the few sessions we have had together she has helped me a lot. You can really tell how much she wants to help. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help!
I talked to her the first day and she basically told me what I needed to do and I did it!! With help from her and some positive friends that I’ve surrounded myself around I’m doing really well
Absolutely understanding and honest about my sessions, even if I don’t want to hear it. So personable and kind. Look forward to working with her for a long time
Amber is a very good listener.
Amber is amazing. She is a special human and really makes a difference.
She is blunt and cuts to the chase. She has no judgement and is a real person. I relate and like her alot.
Always checks in on me to see how I’m doing. Now I’m convinced my husband to find a therapist through better help
Listens and send options to help
Clicked right off the bat. Very attentive. Very sweet.
Very caring, understanding. Definitely feel like it’s a judgement free zone and she cares about my outcome.
