First time using BetterHelp and very pleased. I believe that after the initial take-in, they found the perfect therapist for me, Laurie Hatcher. Extremely easy to talk to, has already helped me with new tools and using the owns that I have. I look forward to our meetings, because I look forward to doing the work with someone I trust to help me. After every meeting, it doesn’t feel like a fight I’m going thru, it feels like an amazing journey. Thank you.

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.
