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.

Christoper Branch was the therapist I needed when I needed one the most. I had severe relationship issues and they were effecting my health, work and family relationships. It’s the hardest time I have experienced, and I put a lot of blame on myself. Christopher helped me navigate and reason with my self. He helped me avoid my negative tendencies, and see where I tried the best I could. I’m forever grateful.

He’s someone I can rely upon to be honest with me even when it hurts sometimes but it’s allowed me to receive the best help and keep me level headed during certain situations. I don’t feel alone when I’m talking to him. As if he’s along side me while I’m going through life changes or when my minds not in the right place. He’s really a great person and someone I’m glad to be my therapist

Reviewed September 2023

Christopher is just a good guy. He's easy to connect with, I don't feel like I'm judged even when making decisions that might not be for me. It's more of a discussion on the thought process that brought me to those choices. I really appreciate that it feels like I'm talking to just another understanding human and not someone who is just paid to listen. I truly feel like he has my best interests at heart and it feels good to know that someone does, even if it's not myself. Having someone to discuss things with has been monumental helpful for what I am going through and I deeply respect and appreciate the time he takes to allow me to vent or process along side him.

Reviewed July 2023

Mr. Branch is the first Mental Health Professional that gave me actionable advice I could use to help better myself and my thought process. I think that is invaluable when someone is seeking help to better themselves through BetterHelp. Mr. Branch is does not speak formally and I think that makes him more relatable as opposed to different mental help professionals. I like that he gives you homework to work on for yourself that helps you dig into your own life to see when you can and/or should make adjustments. I would definitely recommend BetterHelp to other who need and ask for help. Then, I would specifically recommend Christopher Branch because of the way that he works and communicates.
