Nicole is an incredible therapist. She’s so insightful and patient. She truly has made a huge difference in my life and I am so grateful to her!!

Reviewed August 2024

Nicole has been and continues to be a God send for me. She has helped me so much. She has given me the courage to continue living my life in the present. Although I continue to grieve the loss of My Beautiful Daughter, she has made it easier for me to live my life without her. I'm not saying it's not still hard, but I'm finally looking forward to the next day.

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 so grateful to be paired with Nicole. I consider myself to be a resilient person, but after experiencing three traumatic events in 6 months, I reached out to Better Help for support. Nicole helped me to identify that what I perceived to be the primary causes of stress in my life were actually secondary to something I had internally compartmentalized. Talking to her is like talking to a much wiser friend--no judgment, just inquiry, honesty, and genuine empathy. I am so appreciative to have her support.

I have been working with Nicole for a couple of months now and this is the first time I’ve ever gotten something substantial and healing from therapy. Coworkers are asking me what’s changed and I’ve shared with them my experience with my therapist in BetterHelp. I am excited to continue and hopeful for my future. I am very grateful to my therapist for her understanding, and, trust that I have with her. Although I came here in pain, it was definitely worth it. The healing I am experiencing and the change that I’m feeling is priceless.

Nicole is a fantastic therapist and always listens wholeheartedly and provides tools need for self growth. I couldn't imagine having another therapist. She is amazing, kind, supportive and always there for my needs.

Reviewed December 2022

In the past I've found tele-health/tele-therapy services challenging, because I didn't feel like my therapist was truly present and engaged in the conversation or remembered anything about me by the next session due to the volume of clients they were seeing. But since starting sessions with Nicole, she's completely changed my entire perspective on virtual therapy. Nicole is EXTREMELY attentive, fully engaged, totally present, remembers things from our previous conversations, genuinely cares, makes me feel like she wants to be there and WANTS to help me. On top of the fact that she asks really good questions and offers genuinely really good feedback...ALL with a sense of humor and playful fun. I feel like she's a friend, but yet doesn't let me off easy and still pushes me to ask myself tough questions. I brag to all of my friends and family about how great Nicole is and I hope to continue sessions with her for a long time to come.

I've never been in therapy before. Finding myself completely lost, a friend recommended finding someone to talk to. Not wanted to make the leap into finding someone local, I wanted to start with Better Help. I was matched with Nicole and had my first session. Not knowing what to expect, Nicole quickly calmed my nervousness and made me feel at ease. She was so gentle, understanding and caring and just listened to me. That was what I needed for the first time. We already have another session scheduled.
