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.

Nisha is a great listener and provides so much support. Highly recommend
She is amazing!
Nisha is so kind. She listens attentively and realizes a lot of what I need is to work things out externally and she gives me that space and asks poignant questions to guide me through it. Nisha keeps me headed in the direction of progress with gentle and reassuring nudges. I can't recommend her enough
Nisha has been such a light at the end of the tunnel for me since I began my therapy journey with Better Help. I’ve never felt more validated, respected and supported by a therapist in my life. I come with a lot of trauma and baggage, and Nisha has helped me reflect and dig deep to understand where my past experiences overlap with current challenges, and helps me set realistic goals to address them. She checks in with me every week, in between sessions, to further emphasize her care and dedication to my ongoing therapy goals and active challenges, whatever they may be at that time. I’m sure many clients of Better Help who’ve had similar experiences to mine say this, but I really do believe I have the BEST therapist on the app. Thank you Nisha for your selflessness, kindness and overwhelming wisdom. You have changed my life in ways you could never know!
Nisha cultivates the outmost safe, calm and nurturing space for me to fully share my inner thoughts and feelings. She has a gentle, non-judgemental approach to therapy, and she truly allows you to move and open up at your own pace. You can feel that Nisha genuinely cares for your healing journey and is there with you every step of the way. I appreciate Nisha so much for allowing me grace and space to grow and shed light into parts where its difficult to tred alone.
Nisha is empathetic she has a non-judgmental approach that has created a safe and comfortable environment, allowing me to openly discuss my challenges and work through them. I am grateful for her ability to listen actively and provide thoughtful feedback that has been invaluable in helping me gain a deeper understanding of myself and my emotions. The various tools and techniques she has shared with me have been instrumental in managing my emotions and improving my mental well-being. Session with her has helped me develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-regulation, which has enabled me to handle difficult situations more effectively.
Nisha has helped me through thinking about my problems and finding ways to deal with them or accepting them. She has a calm and nurturing voice which helps with opening up and feeling safe. Personal growth is hard but I think Nisha does everything she need for you to open up and start growing.
Excellent, in one word.
Nisha has a warm and gentle energy that allows me to feel supported and seen. She offers compassionate non judgement and holds space in a beautiful way. So grateful that we crossed paths and she is my therapist !
Nisha is fantastic! She is empathetic and helps guide me when I’m stuck. I look forward to our meetings and good advice and insight.
She is quiet and respectful when listening and talking about topics during session. She also caters to a safe sharing environment. I feel like with her help as long as I'm open about myself I can start to heal and improve myself.
Nisha convinced me therapy is a great tool for anyone. She is super knowledgeable and helpful when asked just about anything. If you have any problems, Nisha is the one to help!
Nisha has a beautiful way of holding space, actively listening and reflecting back thoughtful and wise questions. I feel fully seen and not judged. Very grateful to be working alongside her in my healing journey!
Nisha is a very caring person, very alert and good at knowing how much space to give. She picks up queues on what you want and what works for you and moves forward with that. By far my favourite I’ve met here, her honesty is grounding and calmness is something I didn’t realize I haven’t had. 10/10 would recommend.
Nisha Paliwal is a great therapist because she is welcoming and able to create and open minded and safe space. She is also very hands on and can modify her approach depending on your needs.
She is very nice and open to hearing what I have to say. I wish I could write this review after more session but most programs follow the same formula.
