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.

Sheri, has honestly saved me. I was in a very dark place months ago and she helped me come out of it. Even now, when I have my moments she keeps reminding me that it will be ok. She guides me, she talks to me, she listens to me, she provides the proper tools to help me through those rough moments.

Reviewed September 2022

I'm really impressed with how much Sheri communicates with me. She does way more than I ever would have expected. I kinda feel like maybe she's even overworking for me, because she's doing so much for me. I've been able to pack a lot of therapy into just a couple weeks, because I have been able to communicate with her on almost a daily basis, using journals, e-mails, chats, and video appointments. I'm really glad I paid for Better Help. It's a really good value. My mom only gets 15 minutes of talk time with her psychiatrist, and he charges her one hundred dollars, and doesn't talk to her again for a whole month. So, I kind of assumed this would be similar - Get my 15 minutes, and be rushed out. It's not that way with Better Help at all. I used to not understand why people who use psychiatry also need a talk therapist, but now it makes complete sense. I see now that the psychiatrist is only doing the medications, which for some people, may only be a band-aid. The talk therapist spends more time with you, so you can process your emotions and heal. And it's a lot more than just ranting, like I did with past talk therapists. Sheri talks with you, so you're not just complaining or venting. She gives you some feedback, so you don't feel like you're just talking to a wall. I also want to thank Better Help for the information that Sheri shared with me, like coping skills, from the beginning. My past therapists would use words like coping skills and self care, but I never really knew what they meant by those terms, and for some reason I didn't ask. I assumed coping skills are how you cope and self care is taking care of yourself, but there is more to it than that. She gives you an entire page of examples of coping skills you can use. Also, I use Alpha Medical for my medications, and they recommended Better Help, not knowing I had already signed up with you guys. Alpha Medical is very good for help with medication, so when they recommended you guys, I felt confident I was in the right place. I have two children with very severe special needs. They are teenagers but function at a 12 to 18 month level. It is extremely difficult to find babysitters for them. An online platform, like Better Help, makes it so I can concentrate more on self care - taking care of my own mental health to be the healthiest and strongest I can mentally, so I can be the mom I need to be for my boys. I am very grateful for Sheri and Better Help, and I plan to stick with this for as long as it's available.
