Recent reviews
Kristi was my first BetterHelp therapist and hopefully she is my last! She was a perfect fit for me. She understands me, takes the time to listen, and asks the questions that matter. I feel comfortable talking with her and she takes on a perspective that has helped me a lot when it comes to her suggesting ways to cope with certain things. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist!

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.
