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 is an amazing therapist!
Darla is excellent! She has really helped me with my issues and provides support!
Having gone through one of the most difficult periods of my life, losing my husband and becoming a caretaker for my mother, I joined BetterHelp to deal with grief and guilt. Darla guided me to such a better place, and I looked forward to each session. I still use gratitude journaling every day to keep track of all great and good things that are most definitely present in my life. I'm truly grateful for her help.
I LOVE Darla! She’s my 3rd ever therapist & 2nd from BetterHelp & SHE IS THE ONE! She listened to me so intentionally the first session that she knew exactly how to approach me in our sessions! She makes me feel seen & heard & I know she truly cares about me. It doesn’t feel like she is just doing her job, I feel cared for which is exactly what I wanted in my therapist. She is awesome & I would recommend her to anyone!
Darla will listen to all your concerns and guide you through each step to reach the other side. She gave me the resources I needed in my situation. I felt heard when speaking with her. Thanks Darla :)
Darla is the best! She is a great therapist and listens to my issues and then makes suggestions! She is a gem!
She has been helpful and responsive to my worries.
