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.

Caitlin makes me feel safe and comfortable. Since day one I've always felt myself and not scared to be myself.
Warm and patient listener
In the short time I’ve had on better help, Caitlin has been amazing. She’s nothing short of what I was looking for in someone to talk to. She listens and also helps move conversations along if I find a point I’m stuck at. She is very personable and I have felt very comfortable in sharing with her from the start!
She always listens to my concerns, encourages me, and has been a huge help to me.
