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.

Better help was excellent at pairing me with Duncan. Many similar interests and past life experiences.
Duncan was very intelligent in behaviors I needed in help with!
Duncan is very accommodating and understanding of my personal needs. He’s supportive of my ways to approach situations but is not afraid to offer a different approach. Ultimately he’s a great therapist and I would recommend him to anyone using BetterHelp.
Duncan completely changed my view of therapy. He always listens and offers his opinions. I am in a completely different head space now then I was before his help!
As far as now I really like him he listens and gives a answer to my questions that helps so far
Ducan is great. He always uses personal experience and I feel he can relate to a lot of what I am going through. I appreciate his insight. He has helped me through some big issues in my life.
Duncan is attentive and skillful and willing to help you tackle your challenges in the way that's best for you. He's prompt and he follows up with you and helps you keep track of your progress. He'll also help you work with your other healthy goals and how to keep track of any symptoms, and what to look out for in changes with your medications so that you can have more meaningful conversations with your healthcare providers. He also asks you to dive deeper with self care and integrity to have more meaningful conversations with yourself, and what a satisfying relationship with yourself means to you. He's a great therapist and he has a stake in your life satisfaction and successes. He has worked with people from all walks of life and understands cross-cultural issues, childhood issues, neurodivergence, navigating adulthood, and aging. I would definitely recommend this therapist to anyone else who wants to put work into their goals and really see the fruits of all of their efforts. I'm glad to have worked with Duncan and I can't speak highly of him enough.
Duncan is really good at relating to what I am going through. He makes me feel very comfortable to share what I need to. He provides a safe place to talk about my thoughts and feelings. I really appreciate his calm relaxed manner. He is great at what he does and knows his stuff. I highly recommend him.
Duncan is a great guy and takes the time to listen to what you have to say. I appreciated his insight in our brief time together and would recommend him to anyone needing help.
Amazing therapist! Down to earth!
He is open and doesn't judge you. He seems like he really want to help me. He even reads my messages and sends me constructive feedback and seems to me he is a caring person.
