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.

Great therapist
Gina is an amazing therapist. She has and continues to help me through incredibly hard situations and because of her guidance I went from crisis mood 24-7 to living a more normal and happier life.
The best, most compassionate therapist I have had.
Gina is sympathetic and provides guidance to make bad situations feel hopeful. Her words of encouragement are heartfelt and gives you a different perspective which uplifts you. If she can’t answer a question she goes out of her way to find a solution. I’ve made strides in 2 weeks more than I have with my last therapist of 3 months
Gina Payne has been my therapist on betterhelp for over 12 months now. Looking back, she has helped me make bounds in my therapy treatment and has helped me unveil new perspectives, grow as a person, and learn from each session, looking forward to our next meeting every time!
Gina knows what she is doing. She listens well, is positive, and helps breakdown issues. I would definitely recommend her.
