Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Whitney is an incredibly compassionate and relatable therapist who has helped me so much. I highly recommend her.
Whitney is very experienced and relatable and I've been working with her for over a year and my life has been very chaotic due to outside circumstances and she has been a rock throughout this, helping me process and gameplan for navigating. I highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting a relatable and accessible and experienced therapist! Thanks again, Whitney!!
Whitney Thompson is such a relatable and compassionate therapist who offers fantastic insights. She also fully understands my ADHD brain and my need for external processing (lots and lots of chatting and seemingly unrelated tangents that DO relate somehow LOL!). I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert teammate in navigating mental health issues!!
Whitney has been so helpful during such a challenging and transitory part of my life — always flexible to talk about what strategies will help as well as talk out situations! I highly recommend her!
She’s great
Whitney and I have had one video session so far and have been messaging back and forth since, she is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve been in and out of therapy for about six years, although we’ve only had one session, I’ve clicked with her better than any other therapist I’ve had. She makes exploring new tools and coping mechanisms less intimidating and offers relatable perspective on issues! Highly recommend!
Here’s the thing: I’ve had bad experiences with therapy in the past. Whitney has changed my view of therapy completely. I feel heard, understood, pushed but not judged and most of all she is just a joy to talk to. I am generally the therapist for all my friends and family so it’s nice to have the roles reversed for a change. Whitney is the second therapist I’ve tried through BetterHelp. The first was not a good fit for me. It was so easy to switch and immediately things clicked with me and Whitney. If you are looking for an open-minded, supportive therapist who is ready to figure out your needs and be by your side as you reach your emotional or mental goals, she’s your gal!
In my short time with Whitney, she’s been amazingly compassionate, caring, and laid-back (in a professional, but open way). I appreciate how accessible and accommodating she is and I suggest her to anyone looking to start therapy.
I've only had two sessions with Whitney Thompson, but so far I'm really enjoying meeting with her every week. The first appointment she asked what works best for me and I could tell she took the into account at our next session. Overall great experience so far.
