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.

Valinda is amazing and has helped me so much.
Valinda is the true definition of BetterHelp. Before the actual session, Valinda made me feel 100% comfortable. She catered to my immediate needs, listened completely before asking any questions or giving feedback, and just oh gosh! She is great! I felt like I was able to actual talk instead of feeling the anxiety of going through a typical questioning session. Valinda doesn’t just listen to you, she HEARS you.
