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.

You definately helped me.
Great
It's nice to have a neutral person to share your life with. Sergio is really opening my mind and helping me correct my issues.
Sergio was a blessing, He helped me through a difficult time and helped me realize where I could become better as well as see things more clear. If you are looking for a therapist who listens and makes you feel heard this is where I would send you
Sergio has been a game changer for me. He gives me the tools I need in a relatable way so I can overcome the mental and emotional challenges I face.
I'm going through a really difficult time right now. At my advanced age I've never been a big believer in "talk therapy" but Sergio has completely changed my point of view on this. He has been interactive, professional, recommended varied points of view to tackle the ongoing problems, and didn't just sit and say "so, how does that make you feel?" Thanks Sergio and thanks BetterHelp for this platform which is so much easier for me than driving in to someone's office and getting all dolled up just to have a discussion.
Exceptional experience
Sergio has been very helpful in giving me insights and things to consider when making decisions in this difficult time of my life. His perspectives on why things might have happened helped me to better understand my situation and how to proceed from there. I’m looking forward for more sessions with him. Highly recommended, he’s really an awesome therapist, thanks so much, Sergio!
Excellent therapist who really cares for his clients. Listened very well and always has really good advice. I would recommend to anybody that had the same problems as me, and I’m sure he can help others with different problems as well.
Sergio has been a massive help for me. Very grateful for his understanding and guidance.
Sergio has a plan for me and keeps me on track a focused on what my goals are. He has my best interest during and after our sessions!
Sergio possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively and offer insightful guidance. His approach is both compassionate and practical, and I always leave our sessions feeling understood and empowered. He has truly made a positive impact on my life, and I am grateful to have him as my therapist.
Sergio has been very helpful and is a great therapist. I never thought about getting and therapist but this has been one the best decisions that I have made.
This is my first time in therapy for my mental health. I am thankful for getting paired with Sergio as my therapist. He was attentive, allowed me to talk as much as I needed to about my situation and offered me advice I haven't necessarily gotten elsewhere from friends and family. I've still got a journey ahead of me, but Sergio definitely helped expedite the process for me to get me back on my feet. I definitely recommend Sergio if you are using BetterHelp. Thanks again Sergio.
So easy to talk to and trust. Very knowledgeable and understanding. It’s so hard to talk about certain things with anyone and he makes me feel at ease no matter what the situation is.
Sergio has been excellent and have gave me great ways to view my issue and give guidance.

Sergio is a fantastic therapist. He’s able to speak to a wide array of topics without missing a beat. He’s extremely supportive but also honest with his feedback. I look forward to my sessions with him and am grateful to have a space to talk through both big challenges and just everyday topics.
Sergio is amazing, he has helped me talk through so many problems and anxieties that I have. I feel like he has enabled me to be more thoughtful in my actions and I know I am in a better place than when I started therapy with Sergio. Thank you so much!
Sergio really is a great therapist and the best I've worked with. He is very experienced and well-rounded in his expertise. I feel like I make progress every time I have a session with him and get closer to happiness and serenity. He is a great listener and also tells me what I need to hear. Thank you, Sergio!
Sergio is a complete professional and is dedicated to helping his patients. I have noticed how intently he listens to my concerns and he remembers a lot of the details even after several sessions. I recommend and have recommended Sergio as a therapist.

Sergio is a great listener. He is also a straight shooter and will tell you things you don’t want to hear sometimes. His overall goal is to listen and give you the tools needed to deal with mental health issues.

I've even found opportunities to confront past challenges that were still holding me back today. Highly recommend =)
