Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Excellent professional. Highly recommend
Kristen is great. Kristen actively listens and clearly cares about her clients. She asks questions that help me consider issues in a way I wouldn’t have without her help.
Counselor listens and challenges me. I have seen progress.
Very nice lady!
I've seen multiple therapists through the years and never felt HEARD. Kristen hears me. She remembers what I say and ties it in to things I've previously stated. She provides good insight, useful coping strategies, and works with me to solve my issues. I feel heard and supported. I have made alot of progress with Kristen. I know what my issues are, but I need a deeper understanding as to unraveling the damage they've done and to feel whole again; Kristen does just that. I am lucky to have been paired with her on BetterHelp and she's the best therapist I've ever had.
Kristen was warm, attentive and reassuring. Really appreciated her support and kindness in helping me open up about my painful experiences. It was truly healing to be able to talk to her and feel seen. Thank you so much!
Amazing , always on time when I need her
Patiently listens. Active communication. Gives support and encouragement. Knowledge of underlying issues and concerns
I’ve only had two sessions with Kristen so far but I already feel so comfortable talking to her about everything. She is such a sweet person and she is the best therapist I’ve ever spoken to. She really does listen to me and understand my problems and gives me the best resources and advice to overcome said problems.
Relates well to me, and has compassion!
