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.

Very Understanding, great listener, ask great questions and gives you tools and goals to help you with your therapy
Renee is a great listener and asks thoughtful questions that have helped formulate what I need in my future relationships. I feel comfortable and safe in our appointments, she has been a tremendous help.
Renee was prompt, attentive, thoughtful, and professional. She was easy to get to know, always made me feel comfortable, non judgmental, and an excellent listener. Her delivery was genuine, and skill set appropriate and helpful.
When I first sought therapy with Better Help, I had gone through a series of rejections in my job search. My confidence and motivation had plummeted. Renee's support has been consistent and comforting for me, and she has helped me to see that my inherent traits and experiences that I perceived as handicaps were actually strengths that I can own (and in some cases even showcase to prospective employers). She also believes in me consistently, which is important especially when I feel burnt out and start to doubt that I'm on the right path!
She is really helping me on this journey of healing. I am very glad to have her!
