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.

She's wonderful
I absolutely love my therapist she is by far the best that I’ve had. However I wish my medical insurance covered this because I can’t really afford it
I love my therapist she has by far been the best person I’ve spoken with and I’m so happy I made this choice to join better help. I do recommend it and will continue too
Honestly I have opened up to her more then I have any other therapist in my life and I feel I’m making progress. Very happy to recommend
Kay always makes me feel heard and validated. She really listens, understands, and asks questions I wouldn't think to ask myself. I have been very happy talking with her and hope to continue until no longer necessary.
She’s great helped he a lot if I ever need to talk to someone again I’m gonna contact her
I can honestly say that I am happy with the therapist I was matched with. From the first conversation I felt heard and I feel like this was such a good choice for me to make. I want to grow and get on a good track, I do believe she can help me.
