About online counseling

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.

This was my first time participating in therapy. Even though I was very nervous to begin this journey and anxious about who I would be paired with, Dr Deboraha Johnson is an excellent match for me. She is very easy to talk to and she listens to my concerns without being judgmental. I feel supported and guided (not pushed) along this healing process. Patient and understanding, her wealth of experience is evident in our discussions and I look forward to our weekly therapy sessions.

I've had therapy in the past and whilst it wasn't bad, it was never as great as with Deboraha. She provided you with feedback, doesn't just ask you questions but has actual conversations with you that lead you to think and question your thoughts. She is an intelligent woman with lots of experience and in depth knowledge in the field of therapy. Anyone who gets to work with her should consider themselves lucky.

Deboraha was my first experience with a licensed therapist, and she made this experience very positive for me. I felt heard and respected, and it did not take me long to feel that I could trust her with my problems. The past three months she has helped me figure out my emotions, given me tips on how to improve my relationship from within myself, and been there to guide me along the path of finding more of my true self.

Although I have only had two video sessions with Deboraha so far, I feel I have gotten so much more out of these two sessions with her than I have with any other therapist in my past. I feel comfortable sharing exactly how I am doing without sugar-coating and I feel very confident in the advice she is giving me. She responds to my messages very quickly and even sends me messages when she doesn't hear from me for a bit to check-in and to see how I am doing and remind me to write in my journal. She is patient, kind, excellent at listening to everything I have to say and then taking from it the deeper message/what I am really feeling. I am so glad I started Betterhelp and was matched with Deboraha.
