Having these sessions with Dr. Villarreal have been a blessing. Finding a spiritual realm is my goal to find comfort in the grievance of my mother. This has been a great experience and affordable. I hope more people reach out to find comfort and relief. Just being able to speak to someone outside of my everyday interactions has helped me immensely and guided me to where I am now. Thank you Dr. Villarreal and better help.com

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.
