Sarah is very down-to-Earth. She discusses situations that are occurring presently in my life, which is what I need. She is caring, remembers what is happening in her clients' lives, takes extra time with her patient(s) when needed and can always hold a meaningful, truly helpful and empowering conversation. I remember 2 weeks ago, I was thinking that I really did not know what to talk about. Right away, she asked some great questions and we had a deeply meaningful conversation. She is my 1st therapist and I couldnt be happier. Because of her and her help,I have recommended "Better Help" to family and friends.

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.
