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.

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.

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’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.

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!
