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 struggle a lot to make a connection and have trust with therapists but I feel like like she really gets me.
Leslie is patient and kind. She gives great feed back and I appreciate her input as she helps guide me towards clarity.
Couldn't have asked for a better therapist! I feel so comfortable talking to her which makes therapy so much easier. Thank you!
She’s great
She is great. Makes me feel super comfortable about whatever we talk about. I don’t feel the need to hide anything, I feel like being transparent 100% when we talk
Leslie was an exceptional match for me. She has a wide range of experience that helped me with the various issues (chronic pain, disability, depression, recovering from a major medical crisis). I am glad to have used Betterhelp just to have worked with a skilled professional.
Leslie has been extremely helpful not only in actively listening, asking questions, and making recommendations but also in following up. My schedule and day to day life events often get in the way of me consistently staying in touch, but Leslie checks in if I don't, and while I appreciate her doping her job, it's also clear that she genuinely cares about the people she works with.
Leslie is a great councilor! I appreciate all of her advice as she listens and understand your situations.
Leslie is very calming and I appreciate her active listening skills. I'm glad to have her as a counselor.
Leslie is an incredible therapist; she is experienced, open minded, and I truly felt treated with unconditional positive regard!
I LOVE Leslie! She was so kind and understanding. She helped me get through my depressive episode and brought clarity to my thoughts. Highly recommend!
She’s a great counselor. Would recommend for others.
She always checks in with me to see how I’m doing which I think is very kind and I appreciate her time and concern.
She is wonderful, experienced, personal, and present. I greatly appreciate her willingness to listen and relate to the issues I express. Thank you!
Leslie is a very good listener and is patient with me. I have had a lot of things I wanted to say for a long time and I haven’t found anyone willing to do it on an unbiased level. Leslie does that, with that said everything is not poor me she offers support through questions and statements that are understanding. I don’t feel like I’m being interrogated which is also a bonus.
Very helpful, so nice to have someone that's respectful and understanding of my faith and the situations that I go through. Very helpful and I've seen much improvement!
She is knowledgeable, personable and kind counselor who is great in connecting dots and finding patterns in one’s behavior. She is aware of immigration challenges and that helps with the process specially with the ones who have been in that track of life.
Oh em gee I love Leslie! She’s very professional and kind. She gives a different point of view which I find important, and you can tell she has experience in life and counseling/therapy because she gives great advice and has great analogies. Highly recommend.
Being new to therapy, Leslie has done a great job of making me comfortable and feel seen. Very attentive communication as well, in depth responses and nothing but support.
Leslie possesses the qualities I look for in a great therapist. She is attentive, insightful, open minded, personable, and compassionate.
We've only shared a few sessions but so far they've been valuable. Leslie has been supportive and creative and given me new ideas and perspectives.
