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.

She is professional and knowledgeable of the grief process.Easy to talk to & encourages deep emotions being brought to the surface.
Catovia and I have had two sessions so far. She is clear, to the point, discerning, and great at listening. I would recommend her to anyone. The last two sessions have been a big help and after applying her suggestions I see improvements in my emotions.
If you need someone that is patient understanding and helpful. This is her
Catovia is amazing and is helping me through an uncomfortable and difficult transition in my life. I can't thank her enough. She really knows how to listen to you and put what you're feeling into words, which has been so healing.
Cat is simply awesome and very wise.
My experience with Catovia has been a positive experience. Catovia is engaged, knowledgeable, and she has provided helpful information. I am happy to refer Better Help to others.
Only 2 sessions in & I am already noticing a major difference in my mindset and applying the things she is suggesting that will help! Awesome listener
She is a great listener! Her ability to structure our calls and create goals to help me is much appreciated. Her personality and professionalism creates a therapeutic environment that I enjoy. Great therapist!
Has been a huge help with everything by listening to me and having me identify what my values are.
She listens and supports me, I really appreciate her.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with her so far
Catovia has been a great listener, professional and caring. Look forward to our meetings every week.
Ms. Rayner is an absolute sweet-heart. Professional but doesnt make you feel small in any way, very down to Earth and feels like you are simply keeping accountability with a friend. Thank you for being such a joyful person and providing me tools to get through this rough patch, I don't want to ever be in the same position, but if I do I will certainly feel better equipped. I put off seeing a therapist for the bad rap it has been given, but this was completely the opposite. I felt encouraged, loved, and that I was given attainable goals and very practical steps to walk through this time! Thank you, you are a blessing Ms. Rayner!
She is absolutely fantastic! Very caring. Good at getting to the root of the issue and asking thoughtful, well timed questions. The questions help identify unhealthy patterns in the moment and provide helpful ways to correct and improve.
excellent and super helpful
Catovia totally got my right from the first conversation. She has really helped me picked though the landmine that is my life. She helps me to see where I need to look and had guided me ever so gently. I feel more confident, much happier and more secure over the time we have been working together. She has been a great asset to my mental health.
Very good listener
I think that Catovia is a good therapist easy to talk to and listens. No complaints.
Ms. Rayner is a wonderful listener and poses great questions that get you to think deeper. She is attentive and provides great resources to help her clients. I look forward to speaking with her weekly! I'm in a much better space because of her support.
Catovia is great. She is sincere and very funny. I laughed and cried many times on our first session.
For a while I doubted therapy. I wanted to believe in it. It wasn’t until I came upon my current therapist Catovia Rayner. She has helped my growth. Bring the therapy sessions advice to into my daily tasks. I feel challenged, I feel myself growing. I’m grateful I hope that everyone finds an amazing therapist like this.
Catovia is amazing. She is extremely warm, kind and empathetic. She is probably the best listener I've ever had the pleasure of meeting but also balances that so well with an ability to ask very thoughtful follow-up questions, offer new perspectives, challenge my thinking in ways that are positive and beneficial...and so much more! Anybody would be very lucky to have Catovia as their therapist.
