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.

She is an awesome therapist. She validates me and makes me feel 1000 times better.
I feel that Jaleesa is a perfect match for me. She has done an excellent job of creating trust, which is difficult for me. She has a warm attitude, is knowledgeable about current practices, and always discusses my progress. I have learned some new techniques and am learning how to be in control of my own emotions.
Jaleesa was very sweet, fantastic at listening, and she had a bunch of anecdotes to help with explaining methods of getting better!
My experience with Jaleesa so far has been pleasant. I have a therapist who listens and makes sense of my emotions/ thoughts. For a first time experience, I think I’ve gotten lucky.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jaleesa McMillan. When I first met Jaleesa, I was transitioning service providers and experiencing pandemic and work-related stress. Jaleesa was very kind and affirming. Where I struggled to honor my feelings, Jaleesa reminded me of the importance of giving oneself grace and care. I'm forever grateful and forever changed!
Jaleesa has such a beautiful soul and with just the first few weeks of sessions i was already feeling more confident in myself and using the multiple coping skills she provided!
Jaleesa is awesome she's understanding and listens very well. Thanks.
She is amazing!
Jaleesa listens really well and understands my needs. In fact, my first session with her was better in all the ways than my sessions with previous therapists (outside of BetterHelp) COMBINED.
Excellent experience. Has been very helpful in my healing process .
Good therapist
Jeleese is very relatable and easy to talk to.
I feel lighter after talking to to Jaleesa. So great!
So far, I’ve had 3 sessions with Jaleesa. Each week, she’s helped me knock down barriers that have been the root of my unhappiness. Our conversations flow naturally and allow me to open up about things I’d never let myself admit. I’m thankful to have her.
Amazing therapist
