Samuel Johnson is an excellent therapist, and I am so glad that I took the plunge to do counseling with him. He is a good listener, and has a very encouraging way of helping me navigate my anxiety issues. It feels as though weights are being lifted off of my shoulder after each session. I especially appreciate his Christian viewpoints . I would highly recommend him.

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.

He is a good listener, and has a very encouraging way of helping me navigate my anxiety issues. It feels as though weights are being lifted off of my shoulder after each session. I especially appreciate his Christian viewpoints . I would highly recommend him.
My therapist fills a void in my life. He provides me a space to talk through my frustrations and provides support and understanding of the issues I deal with. I look forward to every time we meet, and I leave each session with clarity and increased capacity to navigate life’s daily struggles.
My therapist, Samuel Johnson is very insightful and encouraging. He gives me lots of good advice on anxiety techniques that have helped me tremendously, and methods of talk therapy have also been helpful to me in being able to deal with some of my former fears at a more manageable level. I always appreciate his Christian viewpoint as well. He is an awesome therapist, and I highly recommend him.
I'm very glad to have been matched with Samuel Johnson throuh Better Help. He is the ultimate professional, and gives me practical tips on dealing with anxiety. He also has been checking in with me several days after our sessions, which is very kind . I have never had a therapist do that, and I very much appreciate that token of thoughtfulness. It is great to have a therapist who shares my Christian values, and doesn't judge me for having them. He listens well, and asks the types of questions that make me really think deeply about the revolving ferris wheel - type situation that I am in. A good therapist is said to do that, and I can remember so many helpful things from my past after our sessions that I had forgotten - events that led to my struggle with anorexia as a teenager, how healing transpired and how episodes of overeating would emerge whenever I got upset or even happy about something. Those memories are helping me now with my current weight loss goal, as well as well as understanding some of the missing pieces of my life's puzzle that had been buried. I have started to feverishly take notes after our sessions so that I dont miss anything! I would definitely recommend Samuel Johnson and would rate him a 10+++ if I could.
