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.

Great guy. I feel like he can really relate to me and understands where I am coming from.
Excellent guy!
Alfred is a good listener and encourager. He validates my concerns and acknowledges my efforts to improve my relationship with my husband. As a Christian I appreciate the use of scripture in my sessions as a tool to provide comfort and encouragement.
Alfred is kind, honest, encouraging, funny, and REAL. I appreciate that he is straightforward, provides guidance, and challenges me to do my WORK!
Dr. Alfred is a great guy. Easy to relate to and does a good job of reminding me of why I am with BetterHelp.
Alfred continues to be that wise uncle that has lived life survived and succeeded
Alfred is extremely knowledgeable and a great listener. I felt very supported by him throughout my journey.
Mr. James is amazing. He really listens to you and gives you a positive perspective about life. I would highly recommend him to anybody that’s having a difficult time in their lives.
Excellent listener with that wise uncle vibe
I just wanted to say thank you for your wisdom and knowledge. I’m excited about where I’m headed and my accomplishment through your Therapy. Thanks a million. Not where I would love to be. But I can see light at the end of the tunnel
Very understanding about what my situation was about.
Alfred is great! He listens and is very encouraging. Healing seemed impossible initially but from day 1 Alfred showed me every reason it was possible. This journey has be enlightening and I am excited to see how I grow and heal in my life through therapy
KEEPS IT REAL! As someone who generally comes off as meek and quiet, I normally get an overly empathetic response but Mr. James is honest and genuine.
