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.

Amazing!
Awesome therapist.
My therapist is more like a friend. She listens to me and try’s to help me understand my feelings. She has yet to make me feel judged or embarrassed. I’m so thankful.
DESHALA listened to me and provided words of encouragement. She was very patient and understanding.
Best therapist hands down! Great listener. Great communication. Helps me change my life for the better every session!
DeShala is awesome. Perfect match.
I really love talking to DeShala! She is great and always has great insight. I can count on her to respond every time.
I love her so much. I have never felt this comfortable with anyone in my life and I know she has my best interest in mind
She is the best therapist so far
This woman is literally amazing!! I couldn't express how grateful I am that BetterHelp chose her to be my therapist this time around. I really was in a dark spot when I found her and in just two sessions, Deshala has truly gone above and beyond to ascertain I find the clarity I need. Though she is my therapist, she feels like a friend. She sits there sometimes far longer than she should, really listens and provides genuine, objective feedback making it a conversation that facilitates growth and feels safe. I actually used BetterHelp a year ago and was unimpressed with the service but am happy I gave it another chance. Highly recommend and BetterHelp is so lucky to have her as part of their platform
