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.

It is very early in our sessions but I am very happy with Dawn and her approach.
Very pleased with Dawn and my overall therapy experience.
I have spent my entire life trying to find a therapist that I can relate to. Thanks to BetterHelp and being able to read the doctor’s profile, I was able to find Dr. Dawn Sweeten that specializes in what I need . Over the year and a half of working with her, I have made tremendous progress thanks to her great listening ears, kind heart and ways finding ways to work with my anxiety and depression.
Dawn is knowledgeable, sweet and understanding. Her approach is gentle but makes you think. Highly recommend.
Dawn is a very understanding and kind listener. Very attune to me as a client. She is a clear Christian women who understands one’s story, and will encourage you and help understand you understand yourself. Very grateful for her gifts!
She is a great therapist and very knowledgeable and understanding
I’m so grateful for finding Better Help and my therapist
Ms. Sweeten is amazing, she is kind and very supportive. I’ve learned so much for her. Thank you.
She is an amazing therapist. She was able to pinpoint early on exactly what I needed to work on and helped me work through it. She gave me the tools I need to keep pushing through. She is also very kind and always checked on my mental state throughout each video call as to not overwhelm me and walked me through breathing exercises and meditation. She is the best therapist I have found in a really long time because she genuinely wants to help.
Dawn is great, I really appreciate her kindness and she's helped me tremendously with my self confidence.
Dawn is a very caring therapist!
Dawn is super sweet and EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. I find her voice/presence to be very soothing…. She has helped me out tremendously - very thankful the universe has connected me to such an amazing soul!
Dawn is incredibly kind and supportive. Working with her feels like talking with a friend.
Dawn has been a tremendous blessing. Having the reassurance that problems aren’t always in my head and they can be real no matter how small. And somehow I ended up matched with her when she has a knowledge on people impacted by cancer, brain cancer, and the ability to help me through the strain that causes in my life. I feel more capable of handling my own emotions and anxieties thanks to Dawn and the worksheets she has provided me with
I finally have hope again. Dawn has been absolutely amazing! I not only feel heard and understood, but feel welcome and comforted.
Very happy with Dawn I just can’t afford to pay for James now that he quit his job and isn’t contributing financially
Appreciate Dawn providing a listening ear to what was going on in my life.
Dawn is skilled in her work! She is a very good listener and gives good advice.
Just started but so far she has been very helpful. Dont have much to go on as I am only 2 sessions in. But so far I feel like she is helping me.
Dawn is extremely professional and compassionate. Her knowledge is evident and she is a great support.
