I feel relief in having Dr. Lockton as my therapist words can’t describe how grateful I am to her for working with me and her expertise. She has been the consistent support I could rely on during a difficult period. I would talk to her each day if I could. I would want to continue working with her on a regular permanent basis as I don’t believe you need have a therapist only when faced with challenges.

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.

Dr. Lockton has helped me grow so much as a person. I was hesitant at first to just let anyone in but she has helped me to challenge myself in new ways. I’m currently learning to set boundaries with my brother. I’d recommend her to anyone I know who I think could benefit.

My experience with Dr. Lockton was extremely positive. She certainly didn't just check a box or just tell me what I wanted to hear, she listened and responded in a way I knew she heard and understood me. I have already recommended Betterhelp to a co-worker and told her what a great experience I had with Dr. Lockton. I also appreciate Dr. Lockton checking in just to see how I'm doing.
