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.

Have loved our time together!
She’s amazing!
I really appreciate her tenderness. She really does want to help me. I've had terrible experiences with counselors, in the last, but Amanda brings so much possibilities of healing each time we talk. She is the counselor I needed when I was younger, and I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me, even in our budding time together.
You're great to work with
Very caring individual. She is non-judgmental, to the point, compassionate and knowledgeable. I really resonate with her, and I look forward to our sessions together.
She is the best therapist I have ever had. She takes the time to understand me as the whole person and not just as a label. Would highly recommend her to anyone that wants a holistic experience.
Amanda is the best counselor I’ve ever had, and this is coming from someone who’s been in and out of therapy for 12 years. When she listens, she really listens. She’s patient, wise, understanding and always full of really useful advice. She asks all the right questions and responds to me in a timely manner. I love Amanda!
Such a great human. She really listens and gives great practical ways of helping.
Amanda is great counselor she helps me to understand what I’ve been through and gives me such a relief after talking to her.
Amanda has been extremely helpful and available to me. She is constantly supportive, and her recommendations have helped so much.
Amanda is great and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be where I am at today with my family. I appreciate everything she has done for me and her methods definitely helped.
LITERALLY THE BEST COUNSELOR I'VE HAD!!! I recommend her to anyone struggling.
Amanda has been nothing but kind, helpful, and caring. She has gone out of her way to make me feel as comfortable as possible, and she always reassures me of any concern, no matter how big or small. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to talk to her about my personal issues and to hear the advice she has to offer.
I was paired with Amanda around six months ago. This was my first time trying therapy and Amanda has made it so easy! From the start she’s been kind, available, and easy to open up to. She challenges me to grow and has been a great person to talk to about new ideas and also the day to day. She’s understood me from the start and I feel like she truly cares about me, my present and future.
I feel so lucky to have been matched with Amanda as my counselor. She is thoughtful, eloquent, hilarious, and makes me feel at ease. I have had bad experiences with therapists in the past and she has made me a believer in therapy once again. She has given me a safe space to vent and be myself without the fear of criticism. Her advice has been quite useful and I do feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you BetterHelp for connecting us!
Amanda has helped me out so much! She is completely understanding and holds me accountable. Cannot be more grateful to have been matched with her.
I’ve only been working with Amanda for a month now, but she’s absolutely amazing! She listens to everything, not just what you say but your emotions as you speak as well. She encourages you to talk and speak freely about what’s on your mind and her support, responses, and suggestions are so helpful. She responds extra fast every time I have reached out, even well after midnight. This is my first time ever getting counseling and Amanda has been the best! Highly recommended.
I am so grateful for the time that I've spent talking with Amanda. She is so responsive, empathetic, wise, and honest and offers me so much clarity and insight into what I am feeling and experiencing. I trust her so much and have trusted her since our first time speaking together. I have grown so much in the time that I have been talking with her and am grateful for all of the clarity that she offers me and the empowering space she has created for me and encourages me to create for myself. Amanda is the best counselor I have ever had the luck to interact with and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
She’s great!
Very accommodating, caring and understanding.
I have been in therapy with Amanda for just over a month and she has helped me far beyond any expectations that I ever had about therapists. Being bi-polar and having the feelings associated with the illness for my entire life, I really didn't know what it was like to be able to feel clearly, although I have been on various medication for over 20 years. Amanda has helped me in various ways to the point that I have the drive and energy to move on with the rest of my life without fear of my illness. Although I know being bi-polar will never completely leave me, Amanda has shown me ways to cope with my illness and I am deeply grateful for everything she has done for me. I look forward to spending more time with her online and moving forward in my treatment. THANK YOU AMANDA!
Amanda is great and has been extremely helpful to me! I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone to talk to!
I truly enjoyed our time dicussing my concerns. Amanda is a very lovely lady and was willing to work with my current tech in order to complete our session. She was patient, open, and understanding, all very important qualities to me in a counselor.
Amanda DiGenova is a great therapist. She is a good listener and provides helpful hints and follows up on them. Her experience shows. She texts back quickly and I recommend video with her as it is clear picture and audio and I enjoyed talking to her face to face like I was there.
