I never thought I would need therapy before but after coming to some realizations and accepting my faults I came to BetterHelp and Shanita was able to transform me into a better person. Shanita was very compatible and easy going in the beginning which helped get my mind right. From there we were able to work together to tackle my mental state. She guided me in the right direction and was able to meet consistently to keep me on the right path. I’m now in a great place in life and I couldn’t thank Shanita enough for everything! I highly recommend her sessions!!!

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.
