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.

Simply great
Bryan is amazing and has helped me see things in life I never thought I would understand about myself.
Bryan has been a great help and is alway ready to listen and give me positive feed back.
Overall has been a great experience and Bryan has helped me get comfortable with therapy since this is the first time I’ve really committing to it. He has helped become a better communicator and also great ways to cope with my negative thoughts and anxiety.
Professional, Knowledgeable, Kind, detail-oriented and a great listener.
Bryan is compassionate and listens very well. I feel heard and sense that he cares and truly focuses on helping me resolve my issues. I strongly recommend him.
I wouldn’t be where I am today in a more positive psychological state if it wasn’t for Bryan. He is the best and is always understanding and responsive to my feelings.
Bryan’s approach, insight, and support have been a tremendous value and well timed as I navigate this particular chapter in my life. He epitomizes the quality and character that all therapists on the BetterHelp platform should aspire to.
Great therapist who gives you space to think and come up with the right questions
Enjoying I feel comfortable and relaxed ..gives assignments to work on yourself and checks on you throughout your week to see how it’s going, which is great some could be good days and some could be I need you right now, Moment so I appreciate that again, feel confident on my journey with Bryan Hudson . And I would recommend him to someone else . Thank You
While I was initially apprehensive about Bryan as a therapist for me, I have come to value and appreciate his insight, input, and ability to take in what I've shared and regurgitate it back with the intended thoughts and feelings I experience.
Only had 2 sessions but he has my trust (and that is sayin' something incredible). Looking forward to his wisdom directing me to a better me.
Bryan has such a calm peaceful manner and makes me feel very comfortable opening up to him.
Bryan has been incredible in helping me. He is very well spoken and has helped me gain a new perspective in my thought process. I HIGHLY recommend working with him.
Dedicated, resourceful, and consistent partner in the therapeutic process.
I have always been skeptical of therapy, and believed I could work through issues on my own. In only one discussion, first time meeting Bryan, he was quickly able to zero in on the exact underlying issues. He genuinely cares about, providing a safe, trusting space, and helping his clients be the best version of themselves.
Bryan is an exceptional therapist. Great help to me!
I highly recommend Bryan as a therapist. His compassionate and attentive approach to therapy creates a safe and supportive environment for clients. Brian's deep understanding of psychological issues and effective communication skills make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking therapeutic support. I have personally benefited greatly from his expertise, and I'm confident you will too.
Bryan helped me to identify and correct behaviors that weren't serving me or my relationships with other people. He taught me new coping mechanisms, ways of changing my own behavior to influence my relationships in positive ways, and helped me see areas where I could (and did) improve. He is a patient and empathetic listener and seemed to really understand the root of the issues I was dealing with. It is always a pleasure to talk with him; he is professional and kind, and made me feel comfortable sharing things I don’t talk about with other people. I would absolutely recommend Bryan to others seeking therapy.
Bryan has been an exceptional therapist throughout my journey with BetterHelp. His expertise, compassion, and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my growth and understanding of myself. I am truly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone seeking professional help.
Bryan has been very respectful and responsive with my concerns. He is kind , listens, and offers helpful feedback, as well as constructive ways of viewing issues I bring up. I appreciate his tact and professionalism.
Bryan listens and allowed for a chance to just vent. He expressed his sincerest concern while acknowledging many of my past as difficult. What stood out the most is his empathetic sentiments to some injustices by letting me know “I’m not responsible nor accountable for how some people treated me in those difficult times.” He has worked off this philosophy he has set for me and often uses the word “invite” to gauge my reflection to the situation and practice good measures to work through some of these matters patiently and 1 at a time.
Bryan is empathetic, a great listener, and gives amazing advice. I appreciate that he comes every week into our session with good energy and I feel like he address my changing needs with grace and empathy. Highly reccomend him to anyone looking for guidance into a more fulfilled version of themselves.
After working wit Bryan I'm feeling more hopeful and looking forward to more session.
