It truly has been a privilege to work with April. It felt like a miracle when April was assigned to me by Betterhelp, and how I instantly connected with her in the very first session. It was apparent to me in the very first session that she is a wonderful human being with a friendly, pleasant and an easy going personality. I felt supported after the very first session and looked forward to talking to her every week. Now after working with her for 18 months, I am stronger and more equipped with skills to handle my situations. April is reliable and easy to reach whenever I have questions and need help. I feel very supported with her outstanding advises as she listens, acknowledges, and easily guides.. Thank you April for your sincerity, your excellent counseling, your intelligent advises, and your desire to make a difference for me

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.

I have been counseling with April for 3 months now as I support my daughter through Eating Disorder. April is very intelligent, a great listener and a very effective counselor. She understood my situation very quickly and has provided me with very solid guidance and support from the very first session. She is so caring and I truly look forward to talking to her each time. Using her very clear suggestions, I am supporting my daughter better and also managing my own stress better as I deal with daughter’s complex illness.
