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’s awesome
She’s very warm and makes me feel heard.
Kristie has been so wonderful! She understands my goals and has great ideas on how to get there. I gave gotten so lucky that I have her. She responds very quickly. She checks in on me. She never judges me. She has great points and advice. She listens and her calm voice is soothing. Her insights are amazing. I'm not a very open person. I mean it's not easy to see my inner workings but she's so observant that she can. I'm fortunate and extremely grateful.
Kristie is an exceptional therapist. She's empathetic while still responding with humour when the situation warrants. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get started with Better Help.
My first session with Kristie made me feel heard and understood. I was assigned homework which showed me she wants to help me...and I love that she's available to chat at any time. This makes me feel like I am in a safe place to reach out to her at no matter what. She asked me deep questions and was very thorough when giving me feed back.
Kristie is great. She listens to me and really understands and evaluates what I am going through and comes up with great ideas about things to try to help. Then she checks on me between sessions. A true professional that offers actual solutions rather than just talking.
Kristie is awesome and challenges me to think of things is different ways. She is very understanding and professional. She makes me feel much better in my jumbled up mind.
Kristie is amazing. I feel safe, respected, and heard.
I feel that Kristie is very supportive. And she really understands where I'm coming from. And the root of my issues and gives me great ideas on how to fix these issues so that I can't grow past this.
I would strongly recommend Kristie. She is professional, listens and is very supportive and affirmative. She also provides wise options to consider in our sessions.
She’s very understanding and has helped me in a short time with lifelong issues.❤️
I love her! She truly has made my life better in so many ways. I will forever be so grateful for having her as my therapist.
I don’t think I could have been matched with somebody better for the issues I’m facing.
