Hi, my name is Joan Becket, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, who has been licensed over 27 years.

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.

I have been in therapy with Joan for 3 weeks and I really like her she gives me a lot of feedback and recommendation’s on book /articles. She’s very sweet & has a sense of humor
Joan is amazing!
As a male atheist guy going through divorce I wanted someone who would challenge my core assumptions and have a distinct point of view from mine. Joan has risen to the challenge and I look forward to our conversations every week.
Joan does a great job of listening and giving me different options to help with the issues I am dealing with. Very caring and understanding.
