She is very kind and empathetic and helps me acknowledge my accomplishments and understands my struggles and encourages me through difficulties I have.

Amanda is the person I needed. She creates a space where I am safe, listened to, and respected. I always look forward to talking to her and feel better after I have. I could not be more grateful for the space I have with her wherein I feel comfortable being myself and openly exploring my growth. Everybody should have an Amanda in their lives.

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.

Amanda is AMAZING. She listen to everything I have to say. She always makes me feel comfortable and makes me smile and laugh.
Amanda was the first betterhelp therapist that I had that made me feel heard and my emotions considered during my appointment. She thanked me for being willing to share and acknowledged how hard it can be to be vulnerable to people, which made me feel really seen. I feel safe and not judged with Amanda and really appreciate how kind she is.
