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 supportive
Shawnean is wonderful! Very supportive, a great listener, and so helpful with strategies to help me handle situations. I would highly recommend.
Your company is extremely fortunate to have Shawnean on your team.
Shawnean is an absolutely amazing therapist!!! She listens and makes YOU do the work. She’s great at listening, she offers a variety of techniques , has steady communication, and genuinely cares. When you hit your goals or make progress yourself, she’s proud. You can see the compassion in her eyes and hear it coming from the heart. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to help navigate me through a very difficult time in my life. Do yourself a favor and choose her. She’s a blessing on this earth!!!
I highly recommend Shawnean because I feel like she "gets it." She is well organized and responsive. She also makes good use of our weekly time together. It works if you work it!
I've only met with Shawnean twice, but she has been following up with me via chat in between and sending me very helpful resources. She has been a wonderful and responsive listener. I'm glad I reached out when I did.
She is a great listener and has given me several resources that are helpful
My sessions with Shawnean are one of the highlights of my week. She is supportive, helpful, kind, funny, and gives me solid direction and insight into my behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I'm thankful.
Shawnean has been such a game changer for me. She is so responsive and kind and has helped me see things in a different light in ways that have been very helpful to me. She’s never judgmental and even when challenging my current way of thinking, it’s done in a kind way that never makes me feel bad or defensive. I really value Shawnean so much and am so grateful for the tools I carry with me now that I never had before.
I can't imagine therapy without Shawnean! I am so incredibly grateful to have found her. In our short time together, she has helped me get back into caring for myself, work through some difficult spousal issues as well as take away better tools for confrontations, my reactions, setting boundaries, identifying and communicating my wants/needs, owning my own choices . . . . . the list goes on and on! All amazing tools I will always be able take with me and apply to multiple areas of my life. She's caring, she's kind, she's genuine, she hears me. I can't imagine there being another therapist out there as great as she is. From the bottom of my heart, thank you :)
Caring, kind and willing to offer advice that is both appropriate and applicable
Shawnean has helped me gather the tools I need to advocate for myself and enjoy life again! Her expertise and experience have guided me to the behaviors and and thinking I needed to find calm and positivity from within.
I am fairly new to BH but Shawnean is incredible! From our first meeting, I knew I liked her style of therapy. She listens and is beyond kind, pushes me when needed, and provides so many resources as well as points out to me things I am doing well. She’s the best and I would recommend her to anyone!
She has helped me in serval ways. I'm very grateful
Shawnean is an excellent, professional, and knowledgeable therapist. She is personable and her personality is refreshing. Highly recommend!
Shawnnean is great!
Shawnean has helped me so much. She has such a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience. She is so kind, caring, and engaging. She is a great communicator and able to explain things in ways that make sense. She has my highest recommendation!
Shawnean is the best! She is genuine, real, caring, skilled, and resourceful. I feel like she has helped me so much in just a relatively short time, not only for issues with parenting, but also for my own self-care and health. She was able to pinpoint and focus in on the main issues I struggle with and give me the tools to navigate an ever-changing situation.
She truly lives her profession and is always happy to provide additional information and resources. Working with Shawnean has been a great experience.
Talking with Shawnean reminds me of talking with a close friend. She doesn’t make me feel like a burden or that my issues or needs aren’t important. 10/10 recommend Shawnean. I’d take a bullet for this sweet angel
So caring and insightful, with a great breadth of experience and knowledge. As a special needs mom, I really appreciate her experience with all kinds of kids and families from when she worked as a school counselor. She just gets things that would require a lot of explanation for someone without that experience.
Shawnean has been a game changer. Therapy feels so natural with the right fit!
Shawnean is incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone. She is able to help you sort through your thoughts and feelings while giving you the tools to deal with those emotions.
Great therapist
Shawnean is fantastic. She allows space for you to explain and listens to learn to maximize the effectiveness of your experience.
Working with Shawnean has made a very positive difference in my life. She has helped me find a roadmap to having a better relationship with others and most of all, having a better relationship with myself. She guided me without advising and gave me the tools that will continue to help me be the best person I can be. I can't say enough good things about her and I certainly recommend her to anyone seeking help through Betterhelp.
I think she is a wonderful councilor, and I am lucky to have known her
Very understanding, helpful, and a great communicator. I have received great help, advice, and recommendations from Shawnean. One of the kindest and most understanding people that you will ever talk to. I am very grateful to have her in my life.
Shawnean is wonderful, and has helped me so much!!!
Shawnean is a great person and good at the position to help people.
Shawnean is wonderful at truly listening and understanding what I am feeling. She helps to get to the root of my issue and giving me tools to help me practice. She responds quickly to my messages and I can always count on her to listen without any judgement. I am so thankful for betterhelp connecting me with my wonderful therapist.
I love Shawnean. Three sessions in and I feel so hopeful for myself…she makes me feel like just two friends chatting but also she is so capable and professional I know I’m in good hands. Thank you so much already Shawnean!!
Thank you for showing genuine concern and for sharing helpful and concrete techniques on how to deal with my issues. I appreciate your personal anecdotes as well, makes me feel not as alone in my thoughts and journey. I truly enjoy your voice and tone, very soothing.
Working with Shawnean has been such a positive thing for me. I needed to talk to someone who was neutral and could listen to me without me feeling like I need to filter my message. She is caring and warm and I know I have benefited from my time working with her. She is a great asset to Better Help and the clients she works with.
Shawnean has been a light in the darkness! I have never reached out to a counselor before. I keep to myself and keep everything bottled up. She provided a safe place and I immediately felt comfortable talking with her. I am so grateful for her help.
