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.

Judith is amazing! A big help
Adding Judith in to my life has done wonders for me. She engages in a way that guides me, but also allows me to grow on my own. I was a mental mess before I started therapy, and I have done an about face and feel extra confident in myself since. I have, and would recommend Judith and Betterhelp to anyone who could use the help.
Great experience! J is very resourceful and wise. I recommend her as a counselor on BH! She has been supportive of me for many months.
Beneficial, learned methods to become more self-satisfied and learned to cope with anxiety stress, and relationships.

I feel heard and understood...and THAT, for me. means everything.
Judith is a great therapist. She listened to what I was saying and helped me deal with issues that have been plaguing my whole life. Each session she'd come back with more information for me on things to try or what to look up to help with my issues. She went above and beyond what I expected. Truly a great person.
