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.

Wonderful
So very thankful for Ruthie Goodwin. She knows the wall of grief and keeping good faith.
Ruthie gives great advice and is very kind and understanding. I have greatly enjoyed working with her.
Ruthie has been a Godsend! From our first meeting, Ruthie has pointed to Christ, reminding me that I’m not alone through my healing and has prayed with me. Her gentle voice comforts me as she unfolds things I must deal with and guides me through the process! She is so sweet but tells me like it is! It’s like she’s an old friend I can trust and confide in! Everyone needs a Ruthie in their lives, I’m glad I found her through Better Help! Thank you Ruthie for your heart to serve and love for the broken!
