I had a great experience with Tom, my first therapist on Betterhelp.com. He's the best! Working with him has been enjoyable, and I find him easy to talk to and communicate with. His sense of humor lightens the mood while maintaining professionalism and seriousness. I highly recommend him to anyone! I always feel better after sessions with Tom, never worse.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
