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.

Cynthia is the absolute best. She always listens and gives the best advice based on my concerns. She is the reason I continue to come back to better help. I’m thankful to have met her.
She seems very nice and listens well, I've only had one session so far but it's helping!
She’s very kind and compassionate… I truly recommend Cynthia!
Cynthia is GREAT! She has been helping me so much in the short amount of time that we have been working together. I would recommend her to anyone she listens, she gives you advice like someone close to you. I love working with her.
Cynthia really listens and allows me the space to say what I need. At the same time, she asks the hard questions and thought-provoking questions both during our sessions and in-between.
Cynthia is amazing! Her empathy and support has made a world of difference in my life. She’s kind and responsive and always had my best interests at heart. Highly recommend !
Cynthia has been fantastic since day 1! I was very lucky to get paired up with her. I was new to therapy and she made me feel comfortable as well as guiding me as we go!
Cynthia really helped me focus on making immediate goals which is what I needed to get on track in my life and move towards the future I want to create for myself. I didn't know how to break down my bigger goals into smaller pieces and felt easily overwhelmed before starting therapy with Cynthia. I felt respected and heard, and really liked the structure of our sessions. I never felt judged for what I was experiencing and I appreciated having the safe space to sort through various issues and emotions. I feel more confident in the decisions I make moving forward because Cynthia helped me develop tools to take small steps to reach bigger goals.
Cynthia is great, she is kind, understanding and quickly understood what I needed from her. 10/10, highly recommend.
Cynthia is an amazing asset to Better Help. She has been my first therapist here and has given a fantastic intro to the app. She is so easy to talk to and has amazing insight that helps me to look at situations from all angles and better understand what I’m going through. Cynthia helps me to be more confident in myself and my choices and reminds me to put myself first. Im thankful for her help and expertise.
Cynthia's service is an absolute gift. She is present, patient, respectful, caring, and easy to trust. She immediately made me feel very comfortable and grounded. I had tried more than a few times to find a therapist I bonded with and she was the first one who I really felt confident in. I recommend her 10/10 and am grateful to have found her!!
It has been difficult for me to keep a consistent streamlined communication with my previous therapists, but Cynthia addresses my concerns and supports me in a way that is fun and lighthearted whilst still encouraging and thoughtprovoking as I navigate some big changes in my life. It's allowed me to look forward to our weekly chat in a way I had struggled to find with therapists previously. It feels like rather than disecting my life with a stranger, im doing so with a friend.
Great job!
She's a great therapist!
Cynthia is kind but straightforward. I feel like I can make and keep goals as she keeps me accountable for whatever we work out during the session. I feel like she really wants to figure out where she can help me see where I’m in my own way and I am grateful
