Ms McWaters, instantly connected to my issues and addressed them in a way that gave me the most relief, despite my being scattered. My brother died unexpectedly in the middle of other issues & her counseling addressing my grief and guilt helped me gain insight and tools to help myself. She has always made me feel I could contact her anytime—which I used only once. Thank you Better Help for having such a smart & compassionate therapist!

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.

Christy is the best!
She has been completely understanding and fully listens. Even let's me ramble and get off topic, although I can't help that moat times.
Excellent at putting pieces together & finding key issues. Offers great comments, supports & strategies.
