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.

Jeff has been such a huge help for me in my journey to better mental health. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who may be struggling or need some sort of mental health counseling.
I have appreciated the professionalism and the listening ear that Jeffrey has offered. He's very encouraging and yet shares a lot of wisdom from his experience.
Jeff is considerate and caring. Easy to talk to and effective at listening and providing useful guidance and feedback
Jeffrey has been immensely helpful in helping me feel better overall. I had come to him at a time when I was dealing with great loss on multiple levels. I have a tendency to spiral and focus on areas outside of my control and he has helped me see that, and the spots where I'm getting stuck and the patterns that surround them so I am now able to see that and redirect that energy. I would highly recommend him.
Jefferey is great. He's always calm and professional and always listens with an open mind. My sessions with Jefferey have been very helpful for me (as difficult as I'm sure I can be sometimes)
Jeff is amazing. Super to the point as well which helps us solves problems.
Jeffrey is a great therapist. We are both men of faith , although from different denominations we share the core common ground. He is easy to talk to and had really helped me to face my problems.
I love Jeff and he is very insightful in reframing my state of mind. Jeff really helps me see things from a different perspective which is very calming.
Been really happy and making good tangible progress.
Jeffrey is professional, respectful and knowledgeable!
Jeff is fab. He listens so well validates how you feel. At the same time - he’s never afraid to question your beliefs. He also gives a different perspective on things and it’s super refreshing
Doc has been very helpful during what is probably my most difficult life period. He is a good listener, appears to continue to be able to focus on the core issues for me and offers continued suggestions without pushing an agenda. I guess the most important thing is that our sessions are all about me, where I need to go with them, and how he can best facilitate improvement for me. Doc is also just a nice guy and that helps a lot in being able to relate to him and get more from our sessions.
Dr Finkbiner is kind, courteous, a great listener and a very sharp thinker. I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated my work with him this far.
Jeff is good at his craft. He is empathic, understanding and timely with his feedback.
I have nothing but good things to say. He is very adaptive in the therapy to meet me where I am and what I can do rather than pushing an agenda or methods that are not working or that may be detrimental to my recovery based on where I am. I have had many other therapists over my life and finding one that works for me is the most important and he fits that bill.
Therapy has helped me through an incredibly painful time. I continue because it is helping me become my best self, reminds me I matter, and teaches me coping skills to get through life. It keeps me accountable as well. I am so grateful I started. It’s not always easy but it’s worth it.
Jeffrey has been amazing. I am very grateful to Jeffrey and BetterHelp for the fantastic work that is being done. The service is extremely professional and the platform very user friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking help.
My therapist Jeff was extremely helpful-- he held up a mirror to what I was saying so well. He demonstrated genuine care and gave me the tools to find the answers I needed.
Wow. How lucky I am to have Jeff Finkbiner as my therapist. He is a great listener, allowed me always to come to my own conclusions. He speaks directly and truthfully and can re-direct the therapy conversation until true progress is emerging in the session. Jeff is straight-forward and the kind of person who is interested in seeing your progress. His mind never seems idle, and is very kind as well. I believe he wants you to practice what you learn. Personal example... After a lot of frustrating starts, I finally came to appreciate in therapy how it was me - most often pointing fingers at others (such as my wife, my boss, etc.) rather than changing my own behavior and looking at my own thoughts. I learned how to begin telling the truth to myself and others. I began learning that there were aspects of my personality and my unclear boundaries that made life problematic for me, especially in my marriage. I had been in therapy many times before with other therapists and I never had those insights delivered to me. I learned from Jeff that seeking validation from others is a slippery slope when it comes to building my self-worth. I highly recommend this fine therapist and gentleman.
I find working with Jeffery has helped me immensely in the past year, and I would recommend him to anyone!
Great help and invites. Very responsive.
It’s been several months since I last connected with Jeff. I cannot express how valuable my discussions with him were. His techniques for being mindful, reframing anxious situations and understanding how to interpret anxious feelings have positively impacted me in many ways. I am able to pinpoint my anxious feelings and better understand the triggers for them. Most importantly, by acknowledging the feelings I have them less and am able to carry out daily activities like driving, transit with much more ease than I could before I met with Jeff last fall. I’m grateful for the tools he added to my toolbox and highly recommend him.
I answered the one question inaccurately! He does respond in a time sky manner
Jeffrey Finkbiner has helped me progress past multiple traumas and has shown me healthy ways of processing them in the future if they were to resurface again. I feel like a whole person again thanks to him.
Jeff has helped me tremendously! I would recommend him to anyone!
I really enjoy the sessions I have had so far with Jeffrey. I like that he doesn't beat around the bush and tells me what I need to hear.
I believe that Jeff has not only been supportive, but has helped me to clear my self-conceptions regarding my issues in relationships. I am grateful for this.
Jeffery has helped me more than I can put into words. My life is on the up and up with his expertise.
I think Jeffrey is doing an awesome job.
Absolutely amazing
Jeffrey doesn't tell you what you want to hear but what you need to really think about. He has actually made me realize subtly some of the things that have happened in my past that affect who I am and where I am today ... he is working with me and I don't feel alone in my emotions as much and hiding them. He has made me think about what I am doing as I am doing it, which has helped a lot.
Jeffrey has an approach to therapy I really like. I was very hesitant about telling the truth in therapy but he makes me feel respected and listened to and I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.
Jeffrey is a professional. He's on time and timely. Beyond that, he approaches sessions with a more personal approach, though not through compromise of his professionalism. He's friendly, kind, thoughtful, and listens to my issues. He's intuitive. He validates my thoughts and feelings while focusing on the positive elements of my issues. Jeffrey helps me better understand what I do and, more importantly, why I might be doing it.
