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.

Melissa focused on the issues I was most concerned about right from the start. And every session was equally efficient. She also gave me what I came for - suggestions for getting over a hump or two in my thinking and behaviors. Well worth it for me.

It has been a pleasure working with Melissa Miller. She has been very professional and most helpful during our therapy sessions. She is not judgmental and offers sound advice for some very difficult situations. I would highly recommend her as your therapist.
Mellisa Miller is extremely structured and patient. I was intimidated by the amount of conversation I would have to have but she actually just illuminates the pieces that are most important and calls me to action. I really enjoy my time with her and she has expanded my perspective on many things!
Wonderful therapist very kind and listens to me and helps me greatly with my journey of living a happy life
Melissa made me feel very comfortable. She was easy to talk to and non-judgmental. I’ve never been one to seek professional help but in this case & with my families encouragement I’m glad I did.
Melissa is able to both listen attentively and contribute wisdom to the conversations we have and has opened my eyes to new perspectives that have helped me along the way.

I recommend Ms. Miller & the Better Help service. Very Grateful.
Melissa listens to me during our video chats, offers insightful feedback and gives me solid goals to work towards. She is very prompt messaging me back any time I need to talk between sessions and I always come away feeling better about my situation. She makes me feel seen.
I'm very satisfied so far with Melissa Miller as my therapist. Since day one I feel I can open myself without being judged, that is not easy for me, to open to people I don't know but talking with her feels like someone I knew for long time.
So far my experience with Melissa has been very helpful, I have a sense of peace when I get off the call. She validates my feelings and helps me manage my emotions.
