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.

Overall rating:
Absolutely amazing. She is non judgemental and genuinely wants to help you fix your problems you're working on and gives all the tools and strategies to get to your goal.
She is very thorough. Easy to talk to.
She lets me find my own path at my pace and offers direction and many worksheets and readings to help me.
Dr Cokuslu has been very insightful and caring. She has pointed me in the right direction with dealing with my different circumstances. She also provided me with multiple handouts, worksheets and exercises that have and is still helping me to this day. So grateful for her caring heart and willingness to make a difference in other people's lives.
Dr. Cokuslu is kind and interactive. I would recommend.
Wonderful !! I couldn't have a better therapist
Dr. Cokuslu is a wonderful listener; she also has insight and feedback on personal character so is quick to give options on how to work on certain things that will better your chance at inner healing. She provides many tools (“homework”) that helps learn about myself on a deeper level. I’ve been applying some of the skills on the worksheets and already feel I’m making progress with only 2 sessions so far. I’m very grateful for her!
Dr. Cokuslu, has this gift of believing and helping those under her wing. I appreciate her wisdom and patience. She is a keeper. Very relatable.
Very nice lady who could relate to a lot of things I was going thru in terms of losing my pet.
I Honestly Enjoy the Time well spent with the doctor. She has been very helpful and supportive during this New Phase in my Life. I couldn't have been given a better therapist.
Dr. Cokuslu has been a life saver to me! She has helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. I absolutely trust and respect her more than any of the numerous counselors I’ve seen throughout my life. I actually look forward to our sessions and am excited to implement her suggestions in my life. She is understanding , non-judge mental, and is a wonderful listener.
I’ve been working with Dr. Cokuslu for about 9 months now. In my experience, it takes a while to get in a groove with a new therapist, but after our first few sessions, I knew she had the expertise, compassion, and life experience for a meaningful, professional connection. She recommends a variety of ways to practice healing, coping, and mindfulness in my day to day life. Before every session ends, she makes sure that I’m in a good place and that I have what I need for a successful week. This is my second round of finding a therapist on BetterHelp, and I know I’ve made the right choice with Dr. Cokuslu.
Dr. Cokuslu is professional and courteous to my needs. She always goes above and beyond to help me find strategies which work in my hectic schedule. She brings a plethora of experience which helps me identify solutions to life’s problems.
I ABOUSTLY love working with her. So glad i choose her. She ask what my concerns are that week and how I'm feeling about what we are doing and talking about and if I understand it and if it's helping me. She always ask if I'm at a good place to stop the session which means so much to me Overall I wouldn't want to work with anyone else
She is a great therapist and always there when you need her!
Dr. Cokuslu is lovely. I can only speak from my experience but based on my needs she is a great fit. She is warm and kind. Not judge mental.
