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.

Judith is amazing! A big help
Adding Judith in to my life has done wonders for me. She engages in a way that guides me, but also allows me to grow on my own. I was a mental mess before I started therapy, and I have done an about face and feel extra confident in myself since. I have, and would recommend Judith and Betterhelp to anyone who could use the help.
Great experience! J is very resourceful and wise. I recommend her as a counselor on BH! She has been supportive of me for many months.
Beneficial, learned methods to become more self-satisfied and learned to cope with anxiety stress, and relationships.

I feel heard and understood...and THAT, for me. means everything.
Judith is a great therapist. She listened to what I was saying and helped me deal with issues that have been plaguing my whole life. Each session she'd come back with more information for me on things to try or what to look up to help with my issues. She went above and beyond what I expected. Truly a great person.
