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.

Effective communicator
Fantastic therapist. Accommodating to different forms of communication.
She listens, is calm, and just has great advice! She’s awesome!
She listened and was very uplifting. I love her passion!
Love her ! Great woman ! Looking forward to changes being made over time with her! Thank you
My therapist is wonderful. She has very open energy and gives me the space to share if I need to or walk me through my thoughts and emotions when I don’t understand them. She gives me tools to further my sense of self in a positive way.
Shanton has been so helpful to me and I appreciate so much. She is kind, friendly, and very reassuring. She also makes sure to validate anything I might be feeling, which makes me feel better and more comfortable about the things I am talking with her about. I highly recommend having Shanton as a therapist!
Better Help is an excellent resource I’ve used on more than one occasion and Shanton is absolutely amazing. She listens to me and asks me questions to understand me and get to the root of the problem. She’s given me excellent advice, uses analogies I can relate to, and is an excellent motivator in an honest and firm but kind and caring manner. If I could speak with her daily I would!
