About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

He absolutely understands my position as a single Mother of an adult alcoholic. He has significant experience in addiction counseling and recovery. It is wonderful to have someone to talk to that understands the disease and the impact on family.

Reviewed January 2024

Duane is an experienced, down to earth therapist with a no-nonsense approach that is very supportive and straight-talking. He helped me with figuring out how to protect myself while trying to support my spouse before my spouse was ready to become sober. The approach Duane took helped me to get out of crisis and set some limits about what I would put up with, while also emphasizing healthy ways I can support sobriety without taking the responsibility on myself. It worked great to meet online. I recommend Better Help and Duane highly.
