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.

Overall rating:
This is my first time in therapy and Francine is absolutely amazing. She lines up so well with me and my personality and needs.
She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. I’m bummed our time will be cut short but if I’m ever back in the area will be returning to her in a heartbeat.
Francine is a fantastic listener: sympathetic and analytical. She can understand where I'm coming from but she also gives me a healthy perspective that equips me to progress. I truly believe that I have someone on my team, helping me to succeed. I get through things that are challenging and traumatic with a sense of joy because of her grounded, intelligent, and insightful help. I don't think I would have lasted on BetterHelp without her. She makes the service worth it for me and feel I have progressed quickly in my healing because of her.
Francine has helped me tremendously over the past 2 years. I never knew how much therapy could help me but I’m thankful for her assistance.
Fantastic to talk to any worries I had about sessions were gone within 5min of the first phone call. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely love her. She just has this way of bringing things out and working with me to overcome my obstacles.
I struggled finding a therapist who understood what I was working towards and once I got better help and matched with Francine I knew it was definitely worth it indeed. Francine has been such a turn in my my life helping me work through things and definitely opening my eyes to so much. I’m so blessed to work with someone who truly listens and gives me work to do so we can continue my journey toward a happier healthier lifestyle.
She’s very kind and responsive!
Francine is honestly the best therapist I’ve ever had hands-down she’s very attentive, communicative, and understands my needs and goals to where I want to be mentally. when we talk, I don’t feel like I’m talking to a therapist- I feel like I’m talking to a family friend that I’ve known for years.
Great Listener. Great homework assignments!
