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.

Kind beautiful soul.
Very good person and therapist who has great insight. Has helped me with a lot of my anxiety and gives very sound advice.
She’s been absolutely amazing every step of the way. Her insights and experience has made my journey for bettering myself that much easier although it hasn’t been long, because she goes above and beyond to understand and help me with whatever I’m struggling with and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Truly amazing. I can only recommend Marianne. She is very skilled, lsitens and seems to know exactly what is going on with you at all times. I'm very impressed.
I couldn't imagine having a better match than Marianne. I've had many terrible experiences with therapists, zero good ones. My experience with Marianne has been a tremendous blessing for me in more ways than I can explain here. I'm super grateful for her and BetterHelp.
With Marianne, I can say I finally feel seen, understood, by not only my therapist but in my experience with therapy as well!
So far, I am really appreciating my new therapist. She is always communicating with me. I am so thankful to have matched with her.
Marianne is a very comforting presence and I feel like I am understood and listened to in our sessions. Even though we have only just recently started our journey together, I can already tell that we will get along and I feel confident that she is what I need to improve upon myself in this stage of my journey.
She listens very closely
