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.

She’s awesome
She’s very warm and makes me feel heard.
Kristie has been so wonderful! She understands my goals and has great ideas on how to get there. I gave gotten so lucky that I have her. She responds very quickly. She checks in on me. She never judges me. She has great points and advice. She listens and her calm voice is soothing. Her insights are amazing. I'm not a very open person. I mean it's not easy to see my inner workings but she's so observant that she can. I'm fortunate and extremely grateful.
Kristie is an exceptional therapist. She's empathetic while still responding with humour when the situation warrants. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get started with Better Help.
My first session with Kristie made me feel heard and understood. I was assigned homework which showed me she wants to help me...and I love that she's available to chat at any time. This makes me feel like I am in a safe place to reach out to her at no matter what. She asked me deep questions and was very thorough when giving me feed back.
Kristie is great. She listens to me and really understands and evaluates what I am going through and comes up with great ideas about things to try to help. Then she checks on me between sessions. A true professional that offers actual solutions rather than just talking.
Kristie is awesome and challenges me to think of things is different ways. She is very understanding and professional. She makes me feel much better in my jumbled up mind.
Kristie is amazing. I feel safe, respected, and heard.
I feel that Kristie is very supportive. And she really understands where I'm coming from. And the root of my issues and gives me great ideas on how to fix these issues so that I can't grow past this.
I would strongly recommend Kristie. She is professional, listens and is very supportive and affirmative. She also provides wise options to consider in our sessions.
She’s very understanding and has helped me in a short time with lifelong issues.❤️
I love her! She truly has made my life better in so many ways. I will forever be so grateful for having her as my therapist.
I don’t think I could have been matched with somebody better for the issues I’m facing.
