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.

Excellent professional. Highly recommend
Kristen is great. Kristen actively listens and clearly cares about her clients. She asks questions that help me consider issues in a way I wouldn’t have without her help.
Counselor listens and challenges me. I have seen progress.
Very nice lady!
I've seen multiple therapists through the years and never felt HEARD. Kristen hears me. She remembers what I say and ties it in to things I've previously stated. She provides good insight, useful coping strategies, and works with me to solve my issues. I feel heard and supported. I have made alot of progress with Kristen. I know what my issues are, but I need a deeper understanding as to unraveling the damage they've done and to feel whole again; Kristen does just that. I am lucky to have been paired with her on BetterHelp and she's the best therapist I've ever had.
Kristen was warm, attentive and reassuring. Really appreciated her support and kindness in helping me open up about my painful experiences. It was truly healing to be able to talk to her and feel seen. Thank you so much!
Amazing , always on time when I need her
Patiently listens. Active communication. Gives support and encouragement. Knowledge of underlying issues and concerns
I’ve only had two sessions with Kristen so far but I already feel so comfortable talking to her about everything. She is such a sweet person and she is the best therapist I’ve ever spoken to. She really does listen to me and understand my problems and gives me the best resources and advice to overcome said problems.
Relates well to me, and has compassion!
