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.

Overall rating:
Ellen does a great job of listening and providing support, and knows a lot about my particular concerns and how to creatively address those things. She is a very valuable therapist.
Ellen is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate. I am grateful to be working wit her.
Ellen is really easy to talk to and very non-judgmental. She is giving me new tools for my toolbox.
This is my first time with therapy and Ellen has been so attentive with making sure that I have a safe space. She does more than just listen to you talk (which I feel is a problem with therapists where they listen and not give you solutions) and helps you find healthy solutions to your problems and feelings. She’s great at guiding you/validating your feelings.
Ellen is great! She knows a lot about what I am going through and offers a lot of support, as well as advice that works. I would not be doing as well as I am, without her, for sure.
Ellen has been very lovely and caring towards me. Made me very comfortable and talking about the situation I’m in, Better help chose a wonderful therapist for me!
She s great
Fantastic person! Very, very attentive. She’s super understanding and has outstanding communication sklills!
Ellen is very well versed in my area of need, and has already helped me navigate some extremely difficult issues. I am grateful to have found such a great fit on just the first try!
