Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kim is fantastic and has been a huge help.
Truly lucky to have gotten her as my therapist. I’ve tried therapy many times in the past, and I’ve never never connected to a therapist like I have with Kim. I feel heard, seen, and understood. I’ve made more progress in three months than I have my entire life. I really never thought that I would reach a point of my life where my depression and anxiety are practically nonexistent and where my confidence continues to rise. I’ve built better habits that actually work for me and can even push through stressful moments that used to trigger my PTSD severely. Thanks to her help and guidance, I have been able to overcome a lot of things that I wasn’t able to work through in the past. I’m honestly at the best point in my life which again is not something I ever thought I would see. This woman deserves the highest of stars, and anyone to get her as their therapist is blessed because she truly is the best therapist ever.
Kimberly is absolutely great, so understanding and I really enjoy that I feel like we’ve built a personal relationship. Her advice is always relevant and she always helps me figure out those tough feelings. Couldn’t recommend her enough, 10/10
Kimberly is amazing. I could not have asked for a more direct, empathetic and knowledgeable provider. I am starting to heal and with her guidance, I know I can do it!
Kimberly is awesome to talk with. She leads you appropriately, validates positives as well as things that may need continued attention. She is very comfortable and consistent. Really enjoy our sessions.
Kimberly Lackey is the best therapist that I’ve had. She has made sharing my thoughts and feelings not feel like a bad thing . Kim is professional, down to earth, and interested in figuring out how to best help. I was very skeptical about BetterHelp in general, but Kim has made me understand how helpful and cathartic talk Therapy can be.
she’s great!
Kimberly listens, reflects and offers support without it feeling judgmental, daunting or stressful. She offers an environment of free speaking and doesn't 'assign' things for you to reflect on that feel foreign. She listens and adds to how your feeling in a way that you can reflect and apply it organically to whatever you are going through. Her interactions have proven to be invaluable for me personally.
