I was nervous about starting Betterhelp, but I really lucked out with Ms Carolyn on the first go. She has a lot of quality input, and a really kind approach to her therapy. In just a few sessions, she helped me work through some grief, past traumas and communication issues and still managed to have me leave sessions feeling relieved and genuinely better regardless of the subject matter. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a therapist. I’ve had a few therapists over the past decade, and she’s been the most helpful by far. <3

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.
