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.

Tressey is wonderful in listening to my concerns and offers several options that are tailored to me personally. I feel that she knows me and that so matter
Tressey is the absolute best! I look forward to every session. She challenges me, supports me, and has been an vital component in my vast improvement. When I first came to her, I barely recognized myself, now, I see me and I’m way better than the previous version of me, even that version I was aspiring to get back to months ago. I am extremely grateful for Tressey.
Tressey is truly outstanding. She is warm, and encouraging while at the same time extremely talented and technically sound. I look forward to each session. She is really making a difference in my life. I could not recommend her more enthusiastically.
Tressey Adams is a wonderful therapist and person in general to talk to! As a therapist, she listens very carefully to you and even seems to understand when I ramble incohesively. The questions she’ll ask challenge you to think of your situation and put things into perspective, and her advice always gives me comfort whenever I go to try it. As a person, her naturally bubbly and friendly personality such an easy person to talk to :) 11/10, would highly recommend.
Tressey Adams is an outstanding therapist. I am so glad to have found her. She is clearly skilled and experienced. She is an excellent listener and helps you to look at things from a new and helpful perspective. Highly recommend!
I am very thankful for the support I have received from Tressey. I have improved my awareness of my strengths and can better see my responsibilities more realistically.
I am so grateful I found Tressey the best therapist ever!
Tressey is absolutely amazing! She is such a blessing and a talented therapist. She provides such great insight and is extremely gifted in walking you through your breakthrough at the perfect pace. Tressey has guided me from a broken and scary space to a place of peace, hope, and flow. I truly feel that she not only helped heal me but helped me become the best version of myself thus far. I say this far because working with Tressey, I know she’ll help me get even better. Signing up for BetterHelp and getting match with Tressey was a God-send and I’m ever so grateful for this connection.
Tressey has shattered all of ill-conceived notions regarding therapy; she is extremely easy to speak with and I look forward to more conversations.
She is a great listener and gives great advice !
Tressey is an extremely skilled counselor. She is excellent at what she does. I have been very impressed. She has been so helpful to me!
Helps me view situations in a positive direction
Tressey is absolutely amazing! She is a great listener and guide to help you evolve to your better self. I love how she leads me to a clearer perspective and affirms my growth. Tressey is also a great accountability partner that responds to every message and concern. I highly recommend her!
Tressey was very accessible and easy to talk to. I felt like she helped me organize my thoughts and feelings in a way that made me feel bright and positive about the future.
I had an amazing first session with Tressey and I look forward to continuing therapy with her! She is very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate; she is very human - nothing robotic, nothing textbooky, nothing scripted - she acts like herself which makes it so much easier to feel comfortable being vulnerable. Tressy is adept at triggering responses, asking questions, acknowledging feelings, keeping the conversation moving, and making suggestions for improvement. Even after one session I absorbed some insights and ideas that I look forward to exploring further as I continue to heal from PTSD, ADD, and sometimes paralyzing depression. I highly recommend Tressey if you are searching for skilled and 'real person' therapist.
Thanks so much h for listening and understanding me. I never really talk to ppl about my experiences because I feel they don’t understand. So I just keep moving day to day and try my best to forget things. I feel so much better expressing my feelings and how certain events affected my mental state. I really appreciate you!!!!
She’s awesome
