I am enjoying my sessions with Amy. I feel like she really listens and is non judgemental, even supportive of my concerns.

It's a bit too soon to fully review my experience with BetterHelp and my therapist, but so far my experience has been positive. I feel very motivated to work on myself. Amy is very empathetic and compassionate, and thinks critically about what my thought processes might be in a certain situation. She gives me work sheets that are definitely a helpful addition to my mental health process, and she responds to my messages with useful thoughts/ tips, or just acknowledges what I'm feeling. Currently I feel better supported, less alone, and more motivated to put in the work I need to be more mentally resilient.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
