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.

Kiana is the absolute best therapist I've seen in a long time! She listens and she takes everything into consideration And I think those are two very important things I would literally recommend her to everyone I know
first therapist and she listens, she helps me in ways i never thought
Kiana has been a great therapist. She listens, asks questions to better understand me and offers her advice on how to handle to situation. Not only does she talk and listen to me, she offers many resources to help me better cope with certain situations. She is also very friendly.
Kiana is my second therapist with better help and has been extremely easy to open up to creating a comfortable and trusting environment.
Kiana is amazing. I’d been struggling for a while and desperately needed help to put things in perspective. She was so good about creating a safe space and asking questions that really helped me navigate the challenges I’ve been going through. I’m grateful for the knowledge of myself that she’s helped me gain every day.
Kiana has given me sooo many resources to help with my anxiety, although I know I won't be free of it, she has given me multiple ways to help that work a lot of the time :3
She tells it like it is and that is what everyone needs. She is really great.
Kiana is absolutely amazing. Just in are first session she taught me so much. She listens and is sympathetic also very patient. She gives the best advice. She gets back to me in a timely manner, gives me worksheets so I can go back and remember the what we talked about if I forget. 10/10 recommend!
Just seeing Kiana's bright, smiling face starts therapy off perfectly! Kiana reminds me that my challenges are legitimate, regardless of how big or small they are. She encourages me to care for myself the way I care for others. Her gentle, cheerful demeanor makes therapy something I look forward to! 5 stars for Kiana!!!
Kiana is incredible in her craft. She has truly dedicated her career to what she is passionate about. She helped me get through some very difficult times by using tools that I now implement every day. She made me realize that my potential lies in my ability to take care of myself, so I can take care of those around me. I rave of her services in my life and would 1000% recommend her.
Kiana is kind, understanding, thoughtful, and supportive! I have loved working with her and look forward to future session.
Kiana Thomas was an incredible help to me through my journey. As I live in the Caribbean and speak another language, I wondered if an online therapist would be able to relate. With Kiana, I felt so very understood, heard and relieved after my sessions and e-mail messages, and I received advice and tools I actually still use. I was happily suprised with the entire betterhelp experience when using the platform for therapy.
Kiana is very professional and makes me feel comfortable, which is very important for Therapy. My session with her is good and she seems experienced, since she pointed out the root of my issues.
Kiana is an amazing therapist. She helped me desk with anxiety and stress. Her tips and exercises helped me manage my stress.

Kiana has changed my life. I sought services from Better Help and was matched with Kiana. She has completely changed my perception of myself and my life.

She makes me feel heard and seen, I cannot overstate how much I appreciate ms. Kiana’s help addressing my needs.
Kiana is an absolutely incredible therapist. She is a great listener and has a lot of patience. She created a safe space for my thoughts and emotions from the first session. The questions she asks are highly thoughtful and she shows a lot of consideration for my needs. I loved the positive energy and uplifting spirit. She genuinely helped me to believe 100% in myself, become confident, and challenge negative thoughts. I definitely recommend her to anyone!
Kiana is a literal God send. I was so stressed and nervous about starting therapy, and I am so overjoyed that I was matched with Kiana. She listens, takes time to ask thought provoking questions, takes time to talk though issues with you and encourages people to be their 100% genuine selves. I am forever thankful that I took the leap to try therapy. And I’m even more grateful and thankful that I was matched with Kiana Thomas! Thank you for everything! You make me a better person!
As someone with a disability and who is LGBT+, I really appreciate Kiana's experience with clients with diverse backgrounds. I'm getting help from her without having to educate on my communities, which is great!
