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.

I’ve love how my therapist challenges me. I’ve grow so much over the time I’ve been doing therapy. I’m so glad that I got on BetterHelp. Wish I would’ve done it sooner.

Amazing !

Reviewed June 2024

Kalisha understands how to communicate with her clients things that she sees that we wouldn't see while in a situation - much like that parable about the fish looking for the water while swimming in it. If you're emotionally distressed about a situation and need a breather, Kalisha can help you install that boundary and work through the emotions to clearly see which behavior is enabling the situation to continue. With humor, kind frankness and sensitivity, Kalisha has helped me and I believe she can help you too.

Very kind and understanding. Relatable and relevant thinking. She has good perspective and can make you think differently if you don’t see a different way.

Kalisha is a wonderful therapist! When something goes on in my life, I look forward to discussing it with her. I strongly value my conversations with her as they me realign. She is kind, a great listener, and offers valuable input. I'd strongly recommend her to others.

I transitioned to a new job and was struggling with anxiety and had lost all of my confidence. Kalisha was a strong support to help me succeed. She provided me with tools to control my anxiety and regain my confidence.

Reviewed December 2023

When I first met Kalisha, I was in shambles, she listened to me carefully and thanks to her I stayed optimistic, she made me see things I wasn't seeing. She has helped me understand terms I didn't know and taught me how to practice empathy. I feel understood and heard by a professional.

Finding someone I can genuinely connect to has been hard. But the understanding, the letting me know my place, helping me with the anxiety and life stressors , has helped a lot. I am still a work in progress but happy to have my therapist.
