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.

She has been very helpful and she is great therapist
I was anxious to match up to a therapist on BetterHelp, I hadn’t had much luck with any therapist until I spent time with Meg. She goes at your pace, she’s compassionate, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the thoughts she’s helped me work through.
She is very intelligent and inspiring. I enjoy our sessions
She’s so great and thoughtful and just what I needed.
Margaret is kind, knowledgeable, full of compassion, and great a great listener.
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!
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.
I have not had enough sessions with Margaret yet, but definitely find her empathetic, she give good suggestions and she stays connected ! So all very good !
This has been the most productive and useful therapy I've ever had. BetterHelp is offering a fantastic service and Margaret Motter is able to dish out a fantastic, receptice, insightful, and timely therapy experience.
She is a great therapist. Our talks have helped me greatly
Amazing, intuitive, caring, and an excellent problem solver
