Recent reviews
Thanks for the support over adjusting to my life changes and transitions. While some of these changes are slow, I am able to have consistency week to week with my BetterHelp therapist Carolina. The therapist is always attentive and communicative, suggesting relevant follow ups but not too much to overwhelm me in the process.

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.

Carolina is dependable and trustworthy. She brings useful insight and critical resources that I find helpful. But, not too overly many resources that I get lost or overwhelmed. This represents expertise in the field because I felt seen very quickly in the sessions. Carolina has a gentle way of helping me slow down and live in more self-forgiveness whenever I get impatient to go fast and ignore important pieces of myself.
Carolina helps me to put life issues back into perspective and to see the positives changes and progress being made. I appreciate her insight and perspective!
