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.

Kim is amazing, intently listens and is very calming and supportive.
Kim has been a blessing for me. She listens and understands my concerns. I usually have a hard time talking about my feelings, but Kim makes it very comfortable to talk to her and tell her what’s on your mind. I’m glad we were connected.
Dr Kim has been a lifeline for me during a difficult time. She rocks
Kim is just absolutely focus and grounded in my therapy. She listens and has me analyze and review my concerns to help evaluate repetitive hurdles. I am LEARNING to set boundaries . I am not great at boundaries but Kim has many techniques and ways to help me create the self l need and want to be. BetterHelp and KIM have made me learn love myself again.
I started using BetterHelp due to a specific crisis in my family. Kim has been very caring and supportive. She’s a great listener and gives me excellent pieces of practical advice. Very grateful.
I have really connected with Kim Matte and while it has been hard for me to find the time to make appointments, my sessions with Kim have been extremely helpful.
Kim has been a tremendous help to me. She has given me tools to help manage my anxiety and process the stress in my life. She is always willing to listen and does not minimize my concerns or issues. She is also a great help with problem solving.
Empathetic, wise, and extremely patient. I am so lucky to have the support and guidance from someone as genuine as Kim. Being able to utilize her insight and mind for my multitude of problems is a true gift. Don't know where I'd be without her and her grace.
Kim is a talented and very experienced therapist. She’s really helped me make progress in the areas of life I want to work on. So I recommend her highly for her expertise and empathy.
Kim is someone I can lean on when things are going tough. She is a great listener and checks-in on me.
One of the things I really appreciate about Kim (and there are many) is that she sends me messages via the portal just to check in with me. Our work together has gotten me to a place where I only need to see her 2x/month; down from 4x when we started in April, 2023. I trust her implicitly. You can too.
Kim has helped my greatly thru a difficult & perplexing time. She is supportive when needed & offers concrete suggestions when I ask for a bit of direction. I am more than pleased.
Kim is calm, compassionate, and a good therapist. Just a few sessions so far, stay tuned
Kim has helped me to open up more and I enjoy sharing my life experiences with her each time we talk.
Kim is an excellent therapist. You would be very fortunate to be paired with her.
My session with Kim is a bright light in my week. Whether it’s been a great one or a challenging one or somewhere in between, Kim is always a great listener and she offers excellent feedback, which I regularly take. It’s always incredibly helpful. This has been a tough year for our family (because of a health diagnosis) and figuring out strategies for coping and taking better care of myself as I am taking extra care of my husband and taking on a lot of the jobs he would do regularly around the house. Setting good boundaries and learning how to really listen to my own needs have both been gamechangers for me, and therefore for us. Kim has been a steady hand throughout and her wisdom and kindness are ever present and truly helpful.
Kim is a calm, steady, patient and understanding presence. She practices the kind of active listening that I wish I were better at, and her advice is pure gold. I'm grateful to have matched with her!
Kim’s personal experience has made her a unique therapist for me. She understands on many different levels the kind of stress I have endured in my recent challenges in life. She has been through the same ones. I think empathy is obviously one of her strong points, but the fact she can relate in so many ways makes it so much easier to trust her experience, judgment and advice. I am very happy with the service and with my experience with Kim.
She’s very soothing
Kim really listens and helps me to process my thoughts and emotions. She validated my feeling. The worksheets have also helped me to think about the best me l can be and that l don’t need to take back seat no more. I am important to and l can have my life back as l learn boundaries and so delegation skills. Thank you Kim l appreciate YOU!
Very helpful!
I can't put into adequate words the amount of help Kim has provided for me over the past 10 months. My world has fallen apart, but she has helped guide me through it. Highly recommend her expertise.
So far my sessions have been extremely helpful! I’m very grateful.
Professional, empathetic, patient, skilled- exactly what i had been looking for in a therapist
Kim just “gets it” She meets me exactly where I am and offers multiple suggestions for how things to try that will help me, but doesn’t make me feel judged or gives me “homework” I can’t believe I waited so long ti do this!
Kim Matte is a wonderful therapist. We’ve only been working together for a short time but I felt safe and heard the first time we met. She’s incisive and thoughtful and she doesn’t miss a trick. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Kim is absolutely wonderful. She is easy to talk to and has given me different techniques to help deal with my anxiety. She always listens and does not dismiss my concerns.
Best therapist ever. I’ve had a lot of bad situations to deal with and Kim has really helped me navigate the sick jokes that the universe has thrown at me.
I am very happy with Lum Matte as My therapist. She is kind and definitely helping me with my issues.
Kim's compassion, kindness and understanding shines through perfectly for what I need a therapist for. I get thoughtful feedback, resourceful information and homework that encourages me to learn & grow. I always feel better after an appointment with Kim!
Kim is a very supportive and knowledgeable. You will be pleased if you are matched with her as your therapist.
Kim was an amazing person and helped me through a dark time in my life. I am forever grateful for her guidance through it all.
Very helpful in my times of need
She is very knowledgeable and personable. I felt that she took the time to consider my issues and come up with useful suggestions. She seemed very caring.
I’ve only had 1 sessions with her so far, but everything was nice and easy and she responds very quickly to messages. Look forward to our 2nd session
She is such a kind person, and very easy to talk to, so happy to have her as my therapist
Thank you!
Kim was a wonderful therapist for me to bounce thoughts off of! My main concern when first beginning therapy was really centered around learning to trust my decision making skills! I can honestly say that Kim has great insight and really helped me on my journey to learning to trust myself. She's super attentive, is always on time for sessions, and really works to make clients feel comfortable. I've been able to ground myself in deep, rational thought just after 4 sessions. If I ever make a journey back over to BetterHelp, I hope I am able to match with Kim once again! Thank you for all your help, Kim!
