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.

I’m early in my therapy but I already feel so much better talking with Darla. She listens earnestly and offers great tips, advice, and analysis of what is going on. I’m so happy I decided to take a leap and try Better Help but feel even luckier that their matching tools found me a perfect fit.

I am incredibly grateful to have found Darla as my therapist. From our very first session, she has created an environment where I feel genuinely comfortable and supported. Darla's careful listening, valuable advice, and diverse perspectives have significantly enriched our sessions. I appreciate her practical approach, providing worksheets tailored to my situations, which have been instrumental in my personal growth. What sets Darla apart is her unwavering commitment to my well-being. She is consistently available for messaging, demonstrating genuine concern and empathy outside of our scheduled sessions. Her responsiveness makes me feel supported and understood even between our face-to-face meetings. Darla has a unique ability to shed light on aspects of my life that I had never considered, offering fresh perspectives that have proven invaluable in handling anxious situations. I can confidently say that my time with Darla has been transformative, and I look forward to continuing this journey of self-discovery with her guidance. Thank you, Darla, for your exceptional support and commitment.

Very thoughtful and understanding. She has a compassionate approach and is great at suggesting exercises or providing written content for further review, if that's your thing. I also like that she implements DBT exercises specifically tailored to whatever situation I'm going through at the moment. If you know anything about DBT, it can be overwhelming to go through even with a group, so I really like how she makes it relatable. She gives you space to explore your feelings without trying to impose her thoughts on you. Highly recommend!

I'm so grateful for this experience and feel like I can get back to being my true self. I've been very lost, but I've been given so many kind and encouraging words and insight that I've started to feel like I have value again. I'm a work on progress, but it feels like my path is becoming clearer. Thank you.
