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.

Philip is a life changing therapist. He leads and weaves each session in a way that allows me to feel heard and to come to certain realizations on my own. His actionable guidance throughout the week balanced with his regular reminders that there will always be room for improvement has helped me improve my mental health without feeling pressure to be perfect. Thank you.
A very compassionate therapist.
Philip is a knowledgable, respectful, professional and effective therapist. So far he helped me challenge my own thoughts as well as adding a new perspective to my overall outlook. If you are looking for a therapist on Betterhelp, he is the expert to connect with in my candid opinion. Thank you Philip! Keep up the great work!
My experience with Philip has been nothing but great so far. I feel like I can be very vulnerable when I talk and he doesn’t judge me at all. He’s highly knowledgeable with the questions I ask. If he doesn’t know or have an answer he’s not afraid to tell me that and I really appreciate the transparency. Better help has helped me so much and I can really tell the difference from other therapies I’ve experienced.

Philip has help me so far in identifying what is some problems in my life that I have issues with the past year.

I hope to continue this journey with him to making me feel better about myself and have a better perspective on life.

Philip is a fantastic therapist. He listened to my concerns and gave me real life coping skills to deal with an incredibly difficult situation. I appreciate his tact and expertise and willingness to point out when I needed to consider making changes in how I approached my self care and relationships.
He was caring, passionate and to the point. Would both recommend him, and return to him if I choose to use therapy again. Thank you!
I the brief time I have talked with him, I have found him to be a good listener, offer an approach to my situation in a way I have not considered. He is very attentive and positive.

Philip is an excellent therapist because he asks the important questions and genuinely listens so he can provide the best guidance. He provides a safe and caring environment so I’m not afraid to share my thoughts and feelings.
Philip is incredibly down to earth, works very diligently to help me with my concerns and issues even when I don’t know they’re an underlying issue! I highly recommend him!
Phillip is the best therapist I've had in years. As someone who is very knowledgeable in the theories of therapy from experience and reading, it is hard to find a therapist that doesn't tell me things i already know and leaves it at that. Phillip challenges me to put this knowledge to the test giving me new tools and practices to follow. He makes therapy interactive and truly cares about your well being.
Phillip has been so helpful and understanding. He has provided me with great tools and insight to help me get through the challenges I am experiencing
