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.

She is an incredible therapist. My whole life has changed- she is remarkable
Amy has a very comfortable, nonjudgmental and welcoming presence. She is also well trained, listens well and understands what I’m trying to communicate even on days when I have little words.
Amy is a patient sympathetic presence that knew how to comfort me and still challenge me from day one!
Very insightful, intelligent, and helpful
Amy is a wonderful counselor. She is warm, friendly, approachable, patient, honest and relatable.
Amy is my first therapist via better help and appreciate her giving me space to understand if I like the process of therapy
Amy has been a pleasure to work with. She asks just the right questions and gives additional worksheets to go through that are relevant to the session. Amy takes great notes and each session grows from the previous one. I feel like I’ve unveiled a lot about myself and my traumas and it’s reassuring to have a therapist like Amy to work through these difficult topics together. Thank you so much
Her personal background is what made it much easier for me to be able to talk about things that bother me or hurt me. She's given worksheets as well that give me time to reflect in depth some more. She's a fantastic listener and has made my short time here at betterhelp all the more enjoyable when I wasn't sure of considering this platform previously.
