Reviewed November 2024

I've been seeing Dr. McCune for 9 months, and the experience has been life-changing. From the very first session, I felt heard and understood. She has an attentive, supportive approach that made it easy to open up about things I’d been struggling with for a long time. What I appreciate most is Dr. McCune’s ability to provide thoughtful guidance without being confrontational and pushy. Her insights have helped me gain clarity and develop strategies to handle stress and anxiety more effectively. Each session feels like a safe space where I can work through my challenges at my own pace. With Dr. McCune’s support, I’ve experienced real personal growth, from assertively setting boundaries to coping with changes and things that are out of my control. I’m grateful for the tools I’ve learned that continue to help me even outside of therapy. The atmosphere during our sessions is always warm and welcoming, which only adds to the comfort I feel. I would highly recommend Dr. McCune to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist. I'm truly grateful for the progress I've made with her guidance.

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.

Dr. McCune has been a wonderful support in this season of my life. She was thoughtful in the skills that she presented me with each week, was understanding with my emotions and each situation that I presented to her, helped me to brainstorm ways I could engage differently in situations (which made me feel like I had more control over my emotions and situations as well), and encouraged me in healthier thinking and more realistic and manageable goals. One thing I loved about my sessions with Dr. McCune was her genuine interest in me as a person, in the ministry God has placed me in, and the ways she was able to speak truth into places where I was feeling susceptible to the lies of the enemy. She prayed for me and I felt such real connection with her.

I had been with the same therapist for six years, and I still wanted therapy, but I'd reached a plateau with him. I decided to give BetterHelp a shot, and I'm so glad I did. Julie is magnificent. She took the time to read my incredibly long first message to get an idea of what was going on in my life and what I want to accomplish with therapy. I refer to her more as a "life coach" than a therapist because she not only helps you figure out what is going on in your head, she helps you figure out what to do about it! She writes thoughtful responses to my messages between sessions, and even checks in on me if she hasn't heard from me in a while. She has extended hours, more-so than my old therapist, and for the cost of one therapy session with him, I have access to multiple sessions a week. The other thing I can say that sets Julie apart from my previous therapist is that even though sessions are an hour, if she's got time, she will continue until you hit a good stopping place. Most therapists will cut you off after 45 minutes or an hour, even if you're in the middle of some important work, because they have other clients or because you've reached a time limit. Julie is so dedicated to her clients that she will go the extra mile to make sure you're at a calm, decent place mentally before she signs off. She is TRULY one of the greats. I can't recommend her enough!

I was concerned about on-line counseling. I need not have been. I have been to in-person counseling in the past, and I find this to be more valuable in some ways. This has been a wonderful experience so far. Dr. McCune has been a great support of my particular needs. She has been available for written-online counsel as well as telephone counseling. What I like the most about this type of counseling is that you have real-time communication and response. I can relay to Dr. McCune how I am feeling as I am feeling it through this online forum. This gives her real-time insight into the true issues I am having, as opposed to trying to relay these issues/concerns to a counselor once per week, filtered by time and my memory of the events. I am very impressed by this counseling forum.
