More about Christina

  • 27 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Tina Teel. I am a very experienced licensed professional counselor in helping people improve their skills in dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships and family issues. I have a private practice in San Antonio.

My Master's degree is in Education-Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University. My Bachelor's degree is in Human Resource Management (combining psychology and business) from the University of Texas.

I prefer to actually see my clients through the video aspect of BetterHelp. I find that it makes a tremendous difference in feeling better soon. If you are interested in the video aspect, please select me as your counselor. (Just "come as you are" for the video. Don't worry about looking great for the video.)

When I am not helping my clients to improve their lives, you will find me with my daughter, helping her with her two young sons. I have lived in Germany and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe.

I hope to start working with you to improve your life very soon!

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.
