James is an absolute god send. I literally couldn’t imagine a better therapist. He is a pillar of support and understanding. After every session with James, I feel a weight has lifted off my shoulders and I can go forward as a better person, with a much clearer understanding of who I am. If you are able to have the pleasure of meeting him, I’m sure you will agree that there is something truly special about James. His expertise, life experience, compassion, kindness, and understanding without judgment or making you feel ashamed are some of the qualities that come to mind immediately. He is comforting and warm, yet he somehow still holds you accountable for yourself and challenges you to be the best you can be without being at all offensive or abrasive. He really helps me understand the “why” of it all and then gives me the tools and guidance to work through it in a way that really works. James is here to really help people and you can feel it in the sessions. It’s nice to have someone who truly cares and is invested in your well being and the best possible future for you. Thank you James, for all that you do. The world would be a better place with more people like you in it!

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.

I have found James to be very supportive.
James has been great for me. His ability to explain his guidance and understanding of situations is very helpful for me to not only grasp what he's saying, but they stick with me and I am able to think about it and grow in between sessions. Would highly recommend betterhelp to friends and family given my experience with James.
Extremely helpful in finding ways to help. Very supportive and nonjudgmental.
Solid guy for me
