She’s great

Reviewed August 2024

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.

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.

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.
