Breakthrough after breakthrough! Julie has helped me over overcome so many emotions, family situations, fears, and anxieties! All with being Christian based, which was very important to me. I feel like I have a lifelong friend and can’t imagine not chatting with her as I continue to go along through life! The tools and lessons that I have been provided with will be used to pass down to my children as well, and it’s hard to imagine something more special than knowing I’m changing my life and legacy for the better. Thank you, Better Help!

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.

Julie is great. She has given me several tips, worksheets, and book recommendations that has helped me to get to my desired goals for better communication with my wife and grown children.
Very supportive! Responsive, checked in when I went off the grid
Julie is a compassionate, optimistic, and supportive counselor in every sense. From our first session, I could tell that working with her would empower and equip me to accomplish my goals. She is full of wisdom and in many situations has drawn on her own experience to give great insight, which I greatly value and appreciate. I feel like I have made progress on what I would like to accomplish with therapy in just the few months we have worked together, and this would have been possible without her!
I feel extremely comfortable and confident that my sessions with Julie are informative, helpful, and healing. It's only been 2 so far but I feel that I can become a better person with her help.
