This has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy my time with Ann. She helps me uncover parts of myself and guides me to identify what I can work on to make positive changes in my life. She guides, supports, and encourages. She celebrates my successes with me and helps me through the tougher moments. I like that she sends me things to review and work through. I really like that I can do it online and the hours are convenient. I strongly recommend Ann and BetterHelp to anyone needing therapy.

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.
