Susan has been the catalyst in allowing me to grow and promote my relationship with myself. She is empathic and most of all helps me balance the scales with whatever I’m dealing with which is something I really struggle with. I’ve recommended BetterHelp to everyone who asks me about my journey with therapy and I’d recommend Susan to anyone I care about because she has been so lovely all around and extremely supportive.

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.
