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.

Listens well and provides excellent insight.
He is the best
Listens to you, but also holds you accountable to your own self. I recommend
I really can’t explain how refreshing Michael is. I’ve been looking for a therapist for about 3 years before finding this app and thank goodness I did. It’s nice to speak to someone who just gets who you are and can truly give you tools to become better. Michael has been helping me become better and has been a great voice of reason during difficult times.
Mr. Williams and I have been working together for almost 2 years now. I am thankful for his guidance, mentorship, and the tools he has given me to help myself grow into the person I both need and want to be.
He is amazing!
I have only had a a few sessions with Michael, so far he has shown me more than the last 2 therapist that I have had in the past. He knows what I need at every session so far and has been very patient and understanding. I would recommend Michael for anyone that needs someone that will be truthful, and honest but do it kindly!
I must mention I have had a few therapists on betterhelp. Michael Williams is honestly the most dedicated and knowledgeable therapist I have had. He puts everything into this and works hard to help you on your healing journey. He is the only one that I would recommend on here
Michael Williams is a very intuitive therapist! He’s helped me immensely! He’s given me work that helps my anxiety and he’s also teaching me to think rationally and control my emotions. He’s a very calm person and extremely supportive!
It has been great conversing with Michael. He gives great suggestions and tools to help you progress. Quite the blessing.
Very kind, helpful, supportive, understanding, knowledgeable
Michael has been very helpful in my path to recovery. He is very skilled in a wide range of topics and I can talk to him about any issue I'm having and get a great response
My sessions with Michael have always been a very nice break during my weeks. He always gives great feedback and advice and is always willing to respond to my frequent pivots in conversation each session. Thank you so much Michael!
Michael listens, understands, and cuts to the chase. He'll give it to you straight, tell you what you need to hear, as opposed to what you WANT to hear, such as when you're making excuses. But he's tactful and nice about it. He's the most practical therapist I've used on this site.
Michael understands my frustrations and has great tips for controlling my reaction to events that would normally upset me.
