About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Doctor McTavous made me feel comfortable from our initial session. I could tell she read the goals I submitted prior to starting. She was able to conduct our sessions with intuitive ability based on her experience regarding past trauma, relationships, intimacy, & progressing. I see her as a gifted well-rounded personable counselor who will truly care about you.

I appreciate how Dr. Mac is very empathetic and ready to tackle things, at my speed. I also appreciate the partnership approach to my healing. The worksheets and activities have also been relevant to my healing, and she is very open to the feedback I provide. She's been a blessing.

She is an empathetic and intelligent person who is gifted in counseling. She is a superb listener and sees patterns in my life and coaches me to see those too. Extremely professional and a true Godsend.

Dr. Mac has been a great source of solace for me. I feel comfortable enough to talk to her about a lot of things. She helps push me to better as well!

I have only worked with Dr. McTavous for a short while. After each chat and messaging I feel more confident and in charge of my emotions, decisions, and actions. She has helped me realize how strong my subconscious is and how I can reprogram my thoughts. She is kind, a wonderful listener, and coach. Dr. McTavous has really made my first counseling experience something I look forward to each time we speak.

Empathetic, good listener, good suggestions

Dr. McTavous has been a tremendous help to me throughout my situation and she is who has gotten me through someof the toughest moments in my life. Without her I honestly don't know where I'd be. I am and always will be eternally grateful for having found her on Betterhelp.com. I have been able to move forward in my life and have found my strength within and peace of mind. I still turn to her for guidance as I know she is always there for me, guiding me, listening to me and I her as she always knows what to say to give me the strength I need to keep pushing forward in my life. Thank you Dr. McTavous for ALL you hsve done for me!!!

The best help I have received. Helped me to overcome my fears and set boundaries with those around me. Listened so carefully and I cannot thank her enough

Absolutely would recommend Dr McTavous. She is the best

Great therapist!

Dr. Adeline McTavous has been such a blessing in my life. Without her I don't know where I would be at this point in my life. She has kept me grounded in ways that has helped me get out of a situation I thought I was lost in. She not only listens to everything I am going through, she helps give me guidance and direction when I need it most. I will forever be grateful for having been blessed to have Dr. Adeline McTavous as my therapist. The only reason I am able to stand strong in this time of my life is because of her. She reminds me, each time, to never forget who I am and my selfworth and that in itself keeps me pushing forward and to never give up. The peace of mind she has given me through her kindness, compassion and the way she listens, her guidance and understanding of my situation keeps me is what keeps me going and my spirt high. She is my savor, my light, my angel! I am forever grateful to have her!

I like the preliminary work we're doing right now. I'd like to deepen where we are so I can access more understanding of myself and my circumstances.

Dr M is a kind, wonderful soul who knows how to ask all the right questions and lead you to the answers. She has really helped me see a new light in myself and my anger does not control me in ways it used to. I am ever so grateful to her

Dr.Mc pays attention to everything I say which is one thing that I love the most her way that I can see is that she’s process everything and is able to explain to me in terms that I could understand and different ways to help me process a thought more positively that changes in a positive way. It takes much experience to have the capability she has. And I can say I am so happy to have her as a to go person than you.

It is very easy to talk to Dr Mac, she is very warm, compassionate, just having 3 sessions with her had helped me untangle the thoughts and emotions that I have been living with for so long! Not only that, she gave me practical handles and steps to get to a healthier and better place. Thank you Dr Mac, you are amazing!

A lot of supportive feedback and knowledgeable on topics I’ve discussed with her

She is an awesome therapist.

Dr. Mac has been, and still is, completely wonderful and so helpful with helping me on my growth journey in uncovering, discovering and growing. Her positive attitude and ability to connect with you made me feel safe and comfortable from the beginning to be able to share and heal. I can't thank you enough Dr, Mac!

Dr. McTavous is incredible in the work that they do. Not only do I feel heard and seen, I am given the tools to do the work when I am not in session. I am also given the assurance that if I need to reach out during the week that I need not hesitate. I am filled with gratitude that in my time with Dr. McTavous I am more self aware and feel as though I am the path to healing.

I’ve only had a couple sessions with her so far but I trust she’ll help to the fullest extent she can.

She was very helpful and supportive. While I didn’t spend a very long time with her as a counselor, she helped me work through some of my anxieties.

Dr. McTavous has been very responsive and helpful to me. She makes you feel comfortable, she is very empathetic and she cares! I would highly recommend her.

Dr. McTavous has given me great relief in my times dealing with grief, anxiety, relationship issues etc.. she always feels very comforting and like she really cares

As a Church Pastor, I find BetterHelp to be a reliable place to refer people to. As someone who is grieving myself (widowed) I make use of the convenience of talking with an excellent listener outside of my normal church circles. My Counsellor, Adeline, has been supportive and encouraging. I dont feel I have to meet any expectations and I can just receive her goodwill and comfort. Counselling is often about what we bring to the table ourselves. I dont need someone to tell me how to fix everything. I do need someone to reflect with and help me feel more confident about being more fully myself. We have developed a healthy relationship of respect and I always feel supported.

Awesome spirit overall. She even follows up with you if she hasn't heard from you in a while. Really cares about your wellbeing.

Well spoken and supportive in helping with the healing process

I enjoy your sessions and find them to be educational, informal and insiteful which enables me keep pursuing my personal goals of self-improvement.

Dr. McTavous is very personable and at the same time, circle back to your goals and the bigger picture.

Dr. McTavous has helped calm my anxiety in uncertain times I am productive and hopeful still! Thank you Dr. McTavous for the peace you bring and your gentle demeanor.
