About online counseling

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.

Tommie keeps me on my path to recovery by being an empathetic listener and keeping me grounded. She helps me keep track of and meet my goals. She is great with giving me strategies for a growth mindset. Our conversations are always back and forth. Most other therapists just wanted me to talk. I get feedback and ideas from Tommie. She has certainly made my life better and more productive. Tommie is the best!

Tommie so far has been absolutely wonderful and helpful for me at this time in my life. She has quickly recognized key parts of my story that have played rolls in where I’m at, and is helping me recognize what I need to do to get me to my next milestone. I’ve really found my time with her so helpful in finding clarity, and she’s helped me try new coping skills!

Mrs. Colin understands my needs. She is honest and thoughtful. I trust her knowledge and expertise. In addition, Mrs. Colin communicates well. She has opened my eyes to new possibilities and reminded me that I can (and will) achieve so much in the future. My experience with Mrs. Colin was made better through the Better Help site, as I was able to journal my thoughts and save them until I felt more comfortable to share them with my therapist. One thing that Mrs. Colin did that I appreciated was that she sent updates, reminders, and messages through the site whenever she wanted to follow-up with me and check-in. I knew I could respond anytime I needed to, but even when I didn't, I was still greeted kindly and patiently through the video sessions that I had scheduled every few weeks. One of the biggest reasons why I want to continue working with Mrs. Colin is because she has a heart for helping others realize their true potential and take charge of their mental health. Mrs. Colin, thank you for all that you do.

Consistency is an important thing in mental health, maybe the most important thing. If you have that, you will have points of reference to elaborate upon. There is a progression, it cannot be stagnant because there are time intervals and things change. The client is the one who will engage or not, is capable, or not. Tommie has been there to remind me of promises made and/or kept. She is constantly giving me pertinent information, specific for my growth, not just emotionally, but intellectually, physically, spiritually, et al. I respect everything about her and feel blessed that she has helped with my emergence from my cocoon. I love being a butterfly now. Thank you so very much Tommie and Better Help.

Interacting with Tommie Collins is an absolute joy. She ensures the area is a safe space and that none of it will reach anyone else. Her open ended questions really cause you to look inward and self reflect to come to your own answers, not any that she’s leading to. She provides beautiful insight for many struggles and makes you feel as if you are the only voice in the world talking. If you’re beginning therapy like I am, I would recommend Tommie Collins. She is open to every method of communication and has respected the fact that I prefer chat and chat only. 11/10 recommend. Thank you for your time and compassion Ms. Collins.
