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.

Great advice from a great man. Highly recommend Ben.

Ben is an amazing therapist. He responds in a timely manner and provides helpful tool which helped me become the best version of myself.
Mr. Gleaves is a very understanding therapist. He listens and asks the right questions. He gives awesome techniques on breathing, tapping, etc for anxiety and or mood control. If you write him he responds in a timely matter. I appreciate his view of things. Thx
Benjamin has been so good for me. I look forward to every session. He has helped to move me from being stuck in my negative thought patterns to a place of healing and recovery. This has been life changing in so many ways.
I was hesitant to sign up for therapy via a remote platform. I did finally, and had a different therapist first. While I was glad I took the first step in booking the session, I didn’t feel like my therapist connected with me. So, I switched and found Ben. Immediately, I felt seen, heard, supported and realized quickly that THIS is what theory is SUPPOSED to feel like. Ben is kind, resourceful, and I just feel like he GETS me. I actually look forward to doing the work on myself with his guidance for every session. It’s been a great gift. Thank you, Ben!
Benjamin has provided me with resources and techniques to apply into my everyday life. Whether it be with work environments, home environment, or any type of social setting, I have seen growth within myself because of his guidance through this maze of life. Thank you Benjamin for letting me be an oversharer and your continued support, and dedication to all your patients!
Very patient and encouraging.
Benjamin was my first therapist and made my experience memorable. He was very easy to communicate with, listened very well (especially when I would go off on rants) he’s attentive and always tries to find me ways/strategies/techniques to get me through whatever it is. I highly recommend benjamin because of his sincere demeanour, I noticed from day one. 10/10
He is great!
Experienced, knowledgeable, on point.
So far Benjamin/Mr. Gleave's has been pretty dead on when it comes to why I feel and react the way I do. He is very understanding and mannerly.
Attentive and engaging. Made me feel comfortable right away. Approached my issues with a variety of ways and allowed me to be the driver on the best way to move forward. I appreciated his candor and ideas.
Benjamin has been fantastic, we connected right away. We have similar interests and experiences. He has helped me to talk through some of my deepest self doubts, good/bad habits, and thought processes, and to open up those self-doubts and the past in a different way then ever before. A hopeful, and deeply healing way of digging out the cause or reason for a certain way of thinking, and developing new ways of changing negative emotions and or thoughts into ones of acceptance and grace. We have in depth conversations about faith, family and life. Like a sounding board, he listens, suggests and encourages. He often leaves me messages with quotes that brighten my week. It has truly been a blessing and I am on a path to healing my heart, my soul. I am so glad that God put Benjamin in my life to help me climb out of the darkness, and into the life that God has intended for me.
Benjamin is great at listening and having a conversation with.
We are just getting to know each other, but seems to know his stuff and is very personable.
Great knowledge, has been giving me great tools to use for channeling anger and how to de escalate situations in my relationship with my girlfriend
He was very supportive and he listened without psychoanalyzing or treating me as a, 'case'. He did not treat me as someone who was having fantasies. He treated me as if my story is real and worth noting.
Very friendly and thorough
In the few short weeks since I joined Better help Benjamin, has helped me get the ball rolling to get myself to a better place. He has been truly a safe place to just be. I have been missing that in my life for a long time. I feel that Benjamin will be a huge stepping stone to developing long term coping skills in the future. I look forward to my appointments every week.
I like that he smiles to encourage me to speak on. He lightens the atmosphere and makes me feel ‘listened to’.
Benjamin is a fantastic therapist, he listens to me very well and when I just need to vent he always listens!
