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.

Very helpful
I am enjoying my sessions with Amy. I feel like she really listens and is non judgemental, even supportive of my concerns.
It's a bit too soon to fully review my experience with BetterHelp and my therapist, but so far my experience has been positive. I feel very motivated to work on myself. Amy is very empathetic and compassionate, and thinks critically about what my thought processes might be in a certain situation. She gives me work sheets that are definitely a helpful addition to my mental health process, and she responds to my messages with useful thoughts/ tips, or just acknowledges what I'm feeling. Currently I feel better supported, less alone, and more motivated to put in the work I need to be more mentally resilient.
