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.

Overall rating:
First time trying better help. She has such a welcome personality I really liked her.
This is my first time ever trying therapy and Chrystal has made me feel comfortable since day 1. She’s a great listener and gives me awesome feed back and most importantly makes me feel hopeful for my future.
Only a few sessions in, but I feel like I’ve found a good match. I like that she is able to summarize what we talk about in the way that I intended for it to be interpreted, despite how disorganized my thoughts are sometimes.
Chrystal is kind and a great listener. She’s always professional and has a way of making me feel like I’m talking with someone I’ve known for a long time, even though we just met this year. I recommend her as a therapist 100%!
I really feel like she has helped a lot already and I’ve only seen her 2 times.
Chrystal has been nothing short of amazing! She listens and provides the advice needed. She has a very open mind and the outcome makes me feel good every time I end our session. I highly recommend, Chrystal.
Mrs. Rivera is a very respectful and very expirienced Therapist. Rivera really understood me and my needs/wants and the necassary solutions. I would highly recomend her. I didnt have to tell her much she already knew, she is very quick thinking and intellegent.
