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.

I am well into my 60's and my General Practitioner diagnosed me with General Anxiety Disorder. I suspected I have dealt with GAD all my life, yet I had been trying to control it on my own. As an introvert, the BetterHelp process of matching one with a therapist was quite helpful for me. I am at ease with Dr. Hansen and she has given me several helpful tools to use for my Generalized Anxiety.
She is wonderful, listens and helps with the best way that fits for you.
Sharon is truly amazing and I love how she makes me feel like my feelings matter. She is a keeper!
