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.

Dr. Saskia Charles has changed my life. Wonderful ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So far I’ve had two sessions with Saskia and have felt comfortable during this new transition moving forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with deep family issues.
In a short amount of time she has helped me understand the emotions I have been operating from for such a long. It’s thru this awareness and her guidance that I know I will heal and finally get out of my own way. Thank you.
Saskia is one of the best therapists in the world and I’m so grateful for her!
Saskia is a great therapist. She is very professional and considerate of feelings and provides constructive feedback.
My therapist Saskia is the best! So fortunate to have been paired with her. She has given me the insight and tools to understand myself for the better.
I am so blessed to have Saskia as my therapist. She had guided me into acknowledging my feelings, and to work through them. She is my savior in finding myself.
Saskia is a great Therapist. As a therapist myself, I respect her approach and she is able to guide me in ways that I didn't think were possible. I continue to learn and grow with her!
Professional therapist with a wholistic approach to life’s challenges. Ask thought provoking questions and helps me reach an understanding with objective feedback.
BetterHelp has changed my life. My therapist listens to me and understands how I need to navigate. She is respectful, honest and gives me the tools I need and hold me accountable. I look forward to every session with her because I can see the change in my life. I highly recommend therapy with BetterHelp. It’s a game changer in the most beautiful way possible. I am grateful
Very pleased with Saskia. She is a good thinker and I have felt that she understands my particular need for insight.
Saskia is understanding and is helping me through a transition formative moment.
I fill out these surveys to remind BetterHelp Saskia is a gem! Her entire being is cool, calm, and grounded. To say I love this woman is an understatement. The amount of growth in the past couple of years is mind-blowing. I’m healing.
I love my therapist. Saskia has really given me the space and understanding to help me grow in ways I never did with other therapists. Together she has helped me reach deeper to find hidden reasons and questions. I’m enjoying her energy and knowledge. I feel heard, and understood. I highly recommend Saskia Charles. I’m looking forward to continuing our sessions.
My therapist Saskia Charles is a life saver. I remember going into better help unsure, scared and with anxiety. But once I started my sessions with Saskia, she gave me strategies on how to be more aware of my surroundings, and listened to my every need and concerns. I am forever grateful.
In one session I was understood and challenged and given homework. This is a great start to a productive relationship.
Saskia helped me to identify some key areas that I needed to address in my personal relationships. I feel much happier after working with her weekly on live calls. Taking the time to focus on what you need is extremely important and Saskia helped me do that. I feel my boundaries are much stronger and as a result, I feel much more stable and able to navigate my life.
I am absolutely privileged and honored to have Saskia Charles as my Therapist, she is the greatest and I learned so much about myself that I never knew existed!
I am SO happy that I chose Saskia as my therapist!! I tried talking to several others before I found her, but none of them seemed to understand my needs. Within the first half hour of talking with Saskia, I knew she was the perfect fit for me! I finally felt heard. I finally felt like there was hope for me after all these years. She really listens and she is SO knowledgeable, especially when it comes to addictions and mental health. After less than 3 months of weekly conversations with Saskia, I feel like a new person. I had to put in my share of work but the guidance I got from her was invaluable!!
Saskia was amazing. Great listener and helped me develop adequate coping skills for my anxiety and depression.
Saskia is hands down the best therapist ive worked with. Very attentive and supportive. I recommend her to everyone!
Saskia is the best therapist I’ve ever had! She’s the perfect mix of empathetic and understanding, while challenging me to think critically and make progress. She has so much wisdom to impart and has given me such good perspective of things when I’m having a hard time understanding my own emotions and issues. I cannot recommend her enough, she has been so instrumental in my progress!
Saskia keeps it real, and she UNDERSTANDS me! She gets me! A therapist-client bond is very important, because you have to trust them in order to trust the process. And I TRUST Saskia with my whole heart. She helped me see how my trauma responses were effecting my relationships, and developed a plan tailored to me. It's been a little over year, and I can tell you that I'm a completely different person than who I once was when I started therapy with Saskia. I'm healing, evolving into a person who's in touch with her inner peace. Listen, it's not easy to speak to someone about the things that frighten you, make you cry, or those dark secrets that keep you up at night. For some of us, opening up and being vulnerable makes us uncomfortable, and triggers our anxiety. But not with Saskia. This woman is gifted! I LOVE HER! I would not lie to you! She's respectful and compassionate, and her goal is to see how best she can help you be a better version of yourself -- she's the definition of better help. I look forward to our meetings every week. They are the highlights of my day. She really is a godsend. She listens to me, and through our talks, she is able to analyze and pinpoint "goals" for us to work on. Please, don't sleep on her. She is definitely a gem. She's out here saving and CHANGING lives.
This is my first time trying therapy and she has made the process so smooth for me. I'm comfortable with her she is very calming and easy to talk to.
Saskia has been working with me for over a year, and she has done a wonderful job of helping me. I am not the easiest of patients, constantly being stubborn and combative over the tiniest suggestions. But she has shown great patience by always slowly guiding me, letting me make the connections and jumps to where I should be. My journey with her has come to an end, and it is bittersweet. I am extremely fortunate to have been matched with her. She has helped me become a better mother to my kids, a better wife to my husband, and a better person overall. I am in a much better place because of her.
SHE IS AWESOME AND WERE JUST GETTING STARTED I SEE HER WITH ME THROUGH MY FUTURE JOURNEY LOVE HER THOUGHTS ENERGY AND HOW SHE LISTENS AND DEFINE WHAT YOU TRULY WANNA SAY AND EXPRESS
Saskia is a gem. Her special talent and gift are nothing less than exceptional. It’s the way she is able to help me that has had a lasting impression and encouraged my mental capacity to identify my own barriers. I appreciate her so much— there are no words to relay my sincerest gratitude for her time and presence in my life. She is the true reflection of “good & wholesome people” who are real. Every session is a step closer to my own improvement. It’s HER for ME!!
I jave worked with Saskia for almost a year and she has greatly helped me improve my mindset and propel me to meeting my mental health goals. She has supportive, patient and very motivating during our time together and was always flexible in to my needs from session to session. Great therapist overall!
I've been working with Saskia Charles for over a year now and my growth and development as a result has been unparalleled. I'm so grateful I was placed with her and will continue to work with her through life's challenges so I can perpetuate being the best version of myself that I can.
Saskia has been very helpful and I am glad that I was paired with her. I feel like I am finally making progress.
Saskia worked with me for a consecutive 7 months weekly and her insights and patience helped me overcome my depression and anxiety. She guided me through healthy ways of navigating my life and assisted me in setting personal boundaries and recognizing my traumas and response patterns. She praised me for my own healthy insights and reminded me of negative coping mechanizisms when they arose within me. She held me accountable for my own actions, both negative and positive and in doing that, she made my whole therapy experience a pleasant one. I thank her beyond what words can express and am hopeful for my own future. Which I had not been for a long time. Thanks again, Saskia!
Saskia helped me learn better strategies and gave me tools to manage my anxiety. She is super patient and understanding but still kept it real with me, which I needed and appreciated. Saskia has been wonderful and my mental health has improved so much because of working with her.
Saskia has helped me change my life by providing me the tools I need to function better in society and deal with my emotions in a mature and calculated manner. Now with the exercises and skillset I've been able to develop things that used to bother me don't anymore and I know how to recognize triggers and maintain control in my responses to emotional stimuli.
I absolutely LOVE MY THERAPIST!! SASKIA is a blessing. She's experienced, and she does what she does SO WELL!! My life is better, I am better and still growing healthily...all thanks to her.
Saskia has helped me get to a place where I can manage my anxiety and depression on a daily basis and has helped me meet goals I didn’t think I would be able to. She is wonderful!
Saskia helped me so much throughout my therapy. I honestly don’t think I could have achieved the progress that I have without her help. She was so amazing and easy to talk to, I definitely would recommend Saskia for anyone who’s looking for someone to talk to and help heal from past trauma.
Great listener
Saskia is understanding, and kind and truly feels like I’m listened to while at the same time, holds me accountable. I canceled services as it’s not within our budget right now but when I’m able to Saskia would be the therapist I would go to again!
Saskia really helped me work through issues I was facing in my life. The few sessions I had truly helped me in my everyday life and I am forever grateful!
Very professional, understanding and passionate about dealing with my issues. Awesome individual.
I have to say this has the BEST counseling I’ve had. I’ve never felt more understood and seen. Would highly recommend her to friends family trusting that she will help you find you again.
I have had many counselors and therapists in the past. Saskia is hands down the most incredible counselor I've ever worked with. She helped me understand so much about what I was encountering when I first started with her. Every session was more enjoyable and she was extremely professional, kind, and an absolute master of her craft. I highly recommend Saskia, and if I require these services in the future I will certainly seek her out.
Saskia listens intently and empathizes. She was able to provide me with candid and practical advice which helped me through my situation. Thank you Saskia for your help!
Saskia is the first counselor I've ever had, and words cannot express how grateful I am to have had her help me throughout my recovery. She helped me create goals that were specific to my mental health, while also considering my spiritual journey and kept it sensitive, while being firm and direct all at the same time. I felt extremely comfortable with her and looked forward to every session. She is definitely a gem and I would forever recommend her.
As someone who has attended therapy on and off throughout the years I cannot stress enough the quality of therapy that Saskia provides. Frankly, she cuts through my BS every time. She manages to be sensitive while still being direct. At the end of every session I feel both comforted and empowered, supported and challenged. Her contribution to my mental health is invaluable. Mental illness is a heavy burden and Saskia is one of the rare professionals who genuinely cares and endeavors to empower you both to lighten and to better carry that load.
Saskia is an amazing counselor my experience was very rewarding I was in such a hard place in my life and Saskia really understood and helped me pick up the broken pieces. I highly recommend her especially for people of color that needs someone to fully understand them and what they are going through
Saskia was extremely helpful in helping me to recognize my PTSD and process it. Saskia was able to help me better manage my anxiety which has had positive effects in my work life, family life, and in my personal relationships. Saskia was able to help break down situations to help me understand them better and reframe my way of thinking.
This therapist is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me cope through an overwhelming and emotional time in my life. I would recommend them for anyone suffering with grief
Saskia did nothing short of change my life. In a matter of months, I can confidently say I am a better off for having gotten the chance to work with her. She is warm, understanding, incredibly intentional with her guidance, and ready to help you do the work. She made me feel safe and valued, not just like another appointment she had to get through. I laughed, I cried, and most importantly, I became a more well-rounded and empowered person through our work together. Our work armed me with the tools and mentality that makes it possible to cope with my trauma in healthy ways. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Saskia, and everything about the person I have grown to be is proof that she is damn good at her job.
Saskia is amazing. She is really good at understanding me and explaining new ideas. I feel so much better and have learned a lot since I started seeing her.
From the first session, I felt very comfortable with Saskia. I can still recall the knowledge and insight that she shared with me in the first session. The knowledge that was shared I was able to take with me and see an immediate change in my day to life and how my perspective was able to change. Saskia and I were able to set structured goals together. Within a few short months, I was able to see significant progress. Saskia is amazing at what she does and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I loved her organization and structure during my treatment. I never felt rushed and we are able to cover so much ground in each session. I couldn’t not have been matched with a better therapist!
She is great and makes me feel like I’m not even talking to a therapist.
She is very good at listening and creating goals and feedback that are tailored to your specific needs.
Saskia has been an integral part in my recovery from PTSD and depression. She helped me set up structured goals that could be tracked and focused upon to improve my mental health and work through my issues. She's very knowledgeable in her field and effective in communicating what she knows by sending worksheets, which really helped me understand things like PTSD and ADHD. In just 2 or 3 months, I (and my wife) notice vast difference from the mental state I was in to what it is now. I'm very thankful to have had Saskia as my mental health provider !
Saskia has helped me bring more peace and understanding into my life. She helps me give myself grace, and encourages me to lean into healthy lifestyle changes. I appreciate speaking with her weekly and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs to take supported steps towards healing. I feel much better everytime I speak with Saskia!
I greatly appreciate that Saskia is a great listener and nonjudgemental. She assisted me in creating actionable steps and goals to deal with past traumas and on-going issues.
Ms. Charles has been extremely helpful for me in working through an old trauma with some new flare ups. She asks insightful questions and is thoughtful, professional and caring. Highly recommend.
After working with Saskia for a couple of months, she has helped give me a perspective I didn’t have. She has been unbiased and makes me feel very comfortable talking with her about difficult subjects. I plan on continuing working with her to achieve my goals.
My counselor is great! She really wants to help me become a better person and she helps me understand what’s going on with me emotionally and mentally. I’m very comfortable with her and I can truly vocalize my problems and feelings without feel scared to do so. I would recommend her to anyone who needs counseling.
Saskia is Amazing! She has opened things up in me that has turned my life around for the greater good!! I was going down the lane of destruction until I meet her. She will always be number 1 in my book!!
Saskia has been so helpful with any issue I come across, and has pushed me toward a new place in my life. She has always been respectful of any communication requests I may have (i.e. gender pronouns).
I can't brag enough about my experience with Saskia Charles! She helped me work through family issues as well as anxiety management so much so that within a month family and friends are noticing a difference. I'm taking care of myself better and my quality of life has improved tremendously since beginning work with Saskia. She changed my life and I cannot thank her enough.
My few sessions with Saskia have been extremely productive and insightful. Her approach seems tailored tow rather than one size fits all. Her understanding of trauma and the way it affects you in a long lasting way resonates.
