Welcome to Better Help! My name is Lester Ramirez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. My experience ranges from working with children and their parents to working with end-of-life care. I have experience working with individuals who are stressed, are dealing with anxiety, and are feeling overwhelmed in their current job or relationship.
I always meet the individual where they are and I implement person-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and holistic approach to the treatment process. I am passionate about helping people and want my clients to understand that they are the hardest judges of themselves. Therapeutic changes are not easy and do not happen overnight, I offer someone willing to meet you where you are and see that the road map to where you want to go is manageable.

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.
