About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Reviewed February 2022

Finding a therapist that I was comfortable enough to engage with was tricky and did not come easily for me but through contacting betterhelp I was able to locate a therapist that I could bare my soul to without judgment or scrutiny. My therapist was engaged and just me engaged long after our session had ended. When not 'in session' betterhelp offers multiple resources and links to enable personal growth and development in relationships I hold with others and that of the one I hold with myself. I felt heard, supported and most of all valued as I was. Damaged or well. The ONLY reason I was unable to continue our work and progress we made, is due to insurance jurisdiction coverage limitations placed on me. I highly recommend betterhelp and its services.

I struck gold with Stephanie! She listens and understands your problems, doesn't judge and gives support when you're at your lowest point & time of need. She then builds you up, explains techniques to combat your challenges and keeps you on track every session so you don't slip back into your old ways. As with all therapy the real effort has to come from you, but if you put it in, Stephanie will make sure it's used in the best possible way.
