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.

First session was really good!
She was good
Bethany has been a God send. I am so thankful.
She's given me the safety net to confront my trauma in ways I couldn't imagine on my own and inspired me to revalue myself.
Love this help
Bethany is amazing. She made it so easy to open up and has given me so many tools to better myself.
Beth makes me feel better. She asks me the hard questions that help me get my thoughts straight. Then, she takes what I told her and tells me why I feel the way I do and how to make it better. ❤️
