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.

Meg has been an absolute Godsend. From the very first session, I could feel her expertise, genuine concern and empathy. She gives me homework and provides me tools to help me navigate my life through my mental illnesses, and she checks up on me frequently in between sessions. Meg is so caring and also very professional, and uses every moment of our sessions for focused therapy. She always responds to messages timely, and even avails herself on nights and weekends for her BetterHelp patients. I honestly can’t stress enough how profoundly positive, comforting, and effective my therapy experience with Meg has been. I hope to continue on my journey with her indefinitely!

Reviewed July 2023

Meg was just what I needed - she is a kind and thoughtful listener and goes out of her way to share resources and worksheets. I felt supported from the first week and it’s unbelievable to have matched to the right therapist on the right try. I do not open up easily and Meg has a safe aura to her that is so important to me.
