LaVondra was my therapist a couple years ago when I first tried BetterHelp. Her guidance and words of wisdom never left my mind as I navigated the last couple years of motherhood, and family life. I was so happy she could still be my therapist now that I'm signed back up again! She has a calm demeanor and really listens and responds with great care.

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.

I love that my therapist is a woman of color and down to earth. The ability to chat versus being face to face or having to talk on the phone keeps me from having to take time off from work or to chat while my daughter is in the room. No one knows I’m having a therapy session while they are sitting in the same room with me. I’m already benefiting from the tools she gave me from our very first session!

Lavondra is flexible and attentive to my needs which is very important for my work and personal schedule. To have a therapist that listens to you, helps you, and holds you accountable is hard to come by.

As a member of a church body it has been a great experience to be able to connect with a therapist that is also in tuned with her relationship with God and he able to offer me Godly advice. I love that she listens to me and explores me before coming to any conclusions. This has been a very trying time of my life and I am thankful that I was able to speak with Mrs Boyd to help me through it. If I was to ever come back to Better Help I would use her again, she's relatable, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Sometimes people offer you what you want to hear but she tells you what you need to hear in a respectful way of course, but honesty is what gets people out of ruts so they know exactly what to face head on. Thank you for being a therapist with Better Help Mrs Boyd and thank you for letting God use you.

LaVondra was great! She listened to me and I felt like she understood. She took my concerns and provided me with more than one approach. This was important because it gave me the ability to plug and play or use a blended approach. My sessions with LaVondra were my weekly stress reliever. Unfortunately, I moved to a state that she wasn’t licensed. I would recommend her.
