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.

George is very good. He listened and understood me first, before he advised me. I appreciate that very much.
Enjoy talking with him.
He is a very caring and understanding therapist. I'm happy to have him as my therapist
George has fundamentally changed how I view myself and getting me to a state in which I’m vibrating at a higher frequency of self love than I ever have been. He’s helped me uncover patterns rooted in trauma that were seriously holding me back and I writer this review on the other side of having gone through deep psychological inner work and I’m in state of peace, calmness, and wouldn’t have gotten here without him. He’s quite literally has helped me perosnally and in my romantic relationship with my fiancée and he is someone that listens with deep empathy and genuine concern and although my fiancée has never spoken to him, she is a big fan of George because of all the work I’ve done and how it’s benefited our relationship and transformed it for the better so that speaks volumes! Thank you so much George-highly recommend George to anyone! :)
George is the best

I really do appreciate that he listens to me. He gives me recommendations to help me control my anxiety and he gives me reasonable availability for appointments.

He’s great
George Vega is a real gem, he is insightful, educated and understanding of any topic I have discussed with him. His input has been from a perspective I never knew I needed, and I look forward to our sessions. He does not judge anyone or any situation and is very logical person and I am grateful to have found him to be my therapist.
George was my first therapist ever. Super insightful sessions and in my honest opinion one of the best in the industry.
Excellent! Caring and supportive
George is an absolutely remarkable therapist who has been an absolute blessing to talk to. His ability to connect with and understand the challenges I'm facing is truly amazing.

Moreover, George is equipped with an impressive array of tools and strategies to help me navigate, resolve, or cope with any situation that arises. I wholeheartedly recommend him with a rating of 1000/10!
George is a lovely person. He’s a perfect balance of empathy, rigor, and creative thinking. He’s not “woo-woo”. He’s a serious mental health professional with a kind heart. And he is extremely good about reaching out and communicating with you outside of session.
George is an incredible therapist! Has helped me a ton and I feel blessed that I found him on this platform.
George has been incredible. I look forward to our sessions every week.

I have enjoyed and benefited from Georges perspective and guidance.
My therapist Jorge is very very helpful and understanding of my situation.
Down to earth and checks in often. I feel Very comfortable and at peace during our sessions. Thank you!
George is always great every session we have. Makes me look forward to them.
George is awesome, he puts words to feelings and ideas I’m just not able to articulate. He’s incredibly intelligent and thoughtful, and gives you new ways of examining your feelings. He’s not scared to address difficult and intimate issues, and he does so in a way that does not make you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Highly recommend.
Excellent
Very insightful guidance from George. He is warm, compassionate, and very talented. I am greatly enjoying my time with him.
Greg is very insightful and thoughtful and takes his time to advise and assess. He’s a pleasure to speak with.
George is a very wise man. He has a way of helping you in subtle ways and making you come to realizations. It's been a great process
I really was always extremely skeptical about virtual therapy, i was trying it off the recommendation of my boss. When I signed up I was matched with George. I was very anxious to meet yet another therapist after many failed attempts to find one that I vibed with. But George has been nothing but patient and kind to me. He lets me have my space and say what I have to say, and doesn’t make me feel judged or rushed about what I’m feeling or trying to work through. But also isn’t afraid to give his professional opinion in a polite and respectful manner. He’s insightful and does a good job keeping in touch with me if I need a question answered, or if I’m having a bad day and need to vent, or even if I miss a session or go MIA for a bit he checks up on me to make sure I’m okay. He really has been the best therapist I have had since I started going to therapy. Thank you George!
I am pleased with the time and opportunity to speak/communicate with George. I value him and the fact I have a professional to speak with. Thank you.
One of the greatest guys and always gives me another point of view and helps me understand myself and others. And how other interact with me
George is very respectful and attentive when listening to your story. He helps invoke thoughtful conversation into the root cause of my mental injuries in a structured way while remaining cognizant of the pace of my healing journey. I am a young Asian American in my late 20s unpacking many different repressed trauma cases and was initially wary of seeing a therapist that would not understand my culture, but George manages to be respectful of what he doesn’t know while still providing a guiding hand in navigating my mental injuries. I would recommend George to anyone.
Mr. Vega is outstanding. He creates an environment that makes me feel comfortable to talk about anything and everything. Has great recommendations and is masterful at helping me understand myself
Efficiently run
He is an amazing person and I was lucky to have been able to have worked with him.
He listens to truly understand, and to help identify and observe what approaches could best help in every given scenario. I feel truly understood and that I can talk to someone who will really understand and offer solutions.
George is a good consoler. He helped me get through some tough times.
George is a kind caring therapist. He is very helpful.
George is a wonderful professional and I was grateful to work with him. It was only after several months of therapy that I realized George was a wheelchair user. When you realize the person you are talking to has overcome so much in their own life, it further deepens and highlights the advice they give, to say the least. I admire George's humility and empathy, and his many years of expertise.
Great person
George is very patient and understanding.
Always check in to see how I am doing
Your video doesn't work on Android which is what I have so I am unable to participate
Beyond real! I don’t feel “lost amongst clients” with George. If you are looking for a no judgement zone but experienced therapist he is it!!!
George has helped me find balance between my alternate lifestyle and my faith. I am on a personal journey and so glad he’s my guide!
George has been a big help to me, and it is comforting to know he is there if I need him
My first Betterhelp therapist was not a fit for me. I’m glad I tried again and found George Vega. He has been a tremendous help for some complex problems. I am so glad I found George and Betterhelp.
He's helpful and insightful.
The best experience I have had with therapy in a very long time. Great listener and gives really good and genuine advice!
One of the hardest time in my life is being handled by the best that there is. His life experience mirrors mine, I feel a kindred spirit and I can finally trust someone with me!!
When I first started therapy I was pretty unsure about how I would first interact and how I would feel talking to somebody. From the get-go. George made me feel extremely welcome and loved and let me vent out everything and made me see everything in different light and has helped me tremendously with my day-to-day life. I wouldn't be in a better set of mind if it wasn't for him
He's a good listening and offers helpful information
Very patient and helpful always listens and offers great advice as well as helps me thru my issues and gives me methods to battle my traumas
Excellent listener that offers helpful insight and thorough explanation for methods.
