Melissia Bennett helped me tremendously through a very dark, down period in my life. She helped me recognize once again that I had value, was reasonable, and wasn't asking for impossible things from myself or others. She used humor and honest candor to help me work through the things that made me feel stuck and move forward. I highly recommend Melissia Bennett, and I am so grateful for her.

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.

Melissia Bennett is a GODsent! In the time that I was with her, she helped me to understand and deal with the life of trauma that I had been masking for 45 years while giving me the tools and knowledge to be very present in my day to day life. She was always very patient and professional with me, especially during times that I wasn't the easiest to deal with. I thank GOD for her daily and kudos to you BetterHelp for having such an amazing member of your staff!
Wonderful
Amazing
Kind, helpful
Melissa's style is conversational which puts you at ease. I feel she understands my issues and provides tools and insight for me to better understand myself.
So far I've only had one session with Melissia, and it went very well. She got me thinking about stuff about myself that I never would have. I will continue sessions with her. I highly recommend Melissia.
Really enjoy our sessions.
Melissia is God sent
Melissia is AMAZING!! I'm do thankful that GOD aligned up. She has helped me in ways that I didn't recognize that I needed help. I recommend her to anyone skeptical about therapy!!
My first session with Melissia was great and I look forward to working with her moving forward.
