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.

Lu Ann is one of the most attentive people I’ve ever spoken to. She does her homework and does her absolute best to understand where I’m coming from and why I’m at where I’m at. She also keeps our talks conversational and makes it feel like I’m talking to a trusted friend. I doubted BetterHelp, but Lu Ann has completely changed my opinion.

Reviewed September 2023

I didn't know what to expect going into my first therapy session, but it was better than I could have imagined. My therapist has been so kind and thoughtful and respectful towards me through a difficult situation. I didn't feel like I had anyone I could trust to talk to and I didn't know how to sort my thoughts of recent events. She continues to listen and help me through my problems and I feel that she genuinely cares and wants to help.
