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.

Overall rating:
Susan has really helped me get through a lot of tough times.
Susan Beard is a wonderful therapist who offers help and listens to her patients to help them find treatment that works for them.
I’ve been working with Susan for over a year now. She is fantastic because she helps me to grow and understand things better. She is patient with me and my brain and helps us (my brain and me) to co-exist in a healthier relationship, all while addressing set backs along the way. I’d strongly recommend Susan.
Love her!
She is the best therapist and I enjoy talking to her.
Susan is a great listener and has a great deal of expertise. She has so many new and innovative techniques in her arsenal to address issues related to stress and anxiety. She exudes a calm demeanor and offers clear, concise feedback. Highly recommended.
A really great therapist! The first therapist I've found that doesn't give cookie cutter advice or talk down to you.
She's very nice, she is supportive of me exploring my gender, and she has helped me identify alot of problems in my life. Super helpful and I'm glad that I am seeing her!
Susan is the absolute best and I feel she truly does care for me. I’m glad we were matched. I look forward to our sessions.
I love her, she truly listens, and I am glad BetterHelp provided her as an option for a therapist and choosing her was the best decision I could have made.
Great fit for me!
My therapist is very helpful in my experience, she responds within a timely manner, she has helped me so much with my problems so far even though I have long to go I would definitely recommend her
She's amazing, always listens intently despite my random rambling, incredibly nice and understanding
Susan is honestly the best therapist I have ever met with. She took the time to listen to me and get to know me. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I have really enjoyed working with her!
Susan is nice and patient, she listens when I go off topic and rants but is always able to pull me back to what I was talking about beforehand. Which is nice with my Adhd.
Susan has helped me immensely with my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I am new to therapy and she offered many resources to help me get started. She listens without judgment and is willing to offer many solutions to problems I was having.
Susan is one of the most amazing kind therapist. She listened very intently. She held me and supported me in ways I couldn’t of imagined through a very difficult situation in this time in my life. I couldn’t of asked for a better outcome.
Susan Beard is great at her profession. Very helpful and understanding.
I’ve had one session and already feel like I finally have a path to go on. I think our journey together will be very productive and can’t wait to start my journey.
Susan is very kind, gentle, and an excellent therapist. She checks up on me frequently and was able to accommodate my schedule and open up space for me when she’s fully booked. She has recommended books and worksheets that has helped me navigate through the challenges I faced. Thank you Susan for making me feel seen, heard, and giving me a safe space to process my thoughts (both positive and negative).
Great
This is the first therapist I have found that doesn't seem to either pity me or just give me some random cookie cutter advice. I really appreciate that she actually listens.
