Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

My experience with Melissa has been amazing. She has been helpful and understanding towards my situations. Happy to have her as my therapist.
Melissa is a wonderful therapist! She has guided me through some pretty rough times and I always feel a lot better after speaking with her. I have tried therapy many times before but was never able to sustain it. Better Help did a great job matching us as we are very similar people. All in all, a wonderful experience and I recommend her highly.
