Laurie has been great so far in our first few sessions. I haven't had a lot of luck in the past with finding someone I feel connects with my issues in a constructive/understanding manner. I'm excited I found Laurie here!

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.

She's great at mirroring and encouraging me to move beyond.
She has been a huge help for me and I’m very happy I was recommended to use this site and get the privilege to work with her.
Really good and listens to your problems
Great therapist she hears me
Sweet and empathetic.
I love my sessions with Laurie! She remembers all my people and corresponding baggage. BetterHelp gives me a space space to work through my own reactions and triggers in dealing with myself and others.
Laurie has been a friend in my corner during a challenging series of life events (unemployment & moving cities). She is a great listener and always gets back to me in a timely manner. I was worried at first trying Better Help that the therapists wouldn’t remember me or my specific tics, but that hasn’t been the case at all! I gladly recommend this app and Laurie to anyone who is looking to prioritize their mental health!
Laurie is a great listener, asks meaningful and thought provoking questions and gives sound advice. Highly recommend.
Laurie Siegel is the most compassionate, empathetic, understanding and attentive therapist I've ever had. She's beyond professional, patient and, I feel safe sharing what I'm going through with her. To me, trust and feeling safe sharing is so important. I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone seeking out counseling.
11/10 really listens and gives food insight on how you can go about tackling the problems you're facing
