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.

Great therapist
Stephanie has helped me so much with the issue of grief over losing my father last year. She has also been helping with the more recent struggles I am having now with my marriage.
Stephanie is personable and professional. She listens and asks questions to gather information to assist. She has provided a few tools I am already implementing in my work life. I am calmer and less anxious.
I have only met with Stephanie once so far, and I look forward to meeting with her again! My first session with Stephanie was great! She was patient with me, allowed me to express certain concerns that I have been struggling with and want to improve. And also provided feedback and gave me tools to help myself begin the process to improve the areas I am struggling in!
Stephanie sets great expectation and give great tangible tools to use. I really enjoy and grow with each session.
Fantastic. Very engaging and great support. Willing to listen to somewhat incoherent ramblings and pull meaningful advice from them. Effortlessly fosters a feeling of safety in disclosing personal feelings.
Really a nice lady. Who helps resolve issues
Stephanie is amazing! Betterhelp knew exactly who to match me up with. Stephanie has provided me with some really helpful tools and techniques to deal with my life happenings. I would highly recommend her!
Stephanie is an amazing listener. She is so nice and professional. She helped me focus on getting my tasks done while I’m getting enough rest. I have been with her for 2 months and my mindset has changed since then.Thank you Stephanie.
Stephanie rocks! I’m so happy I have her at my fingertips
Stephanie is great, she’s a great listener and it’s so easy to talk to her. she challenges you to find healthier solutions to your problems and to think differently but in a non judge mental way. She’s great
Stephanie was very responsive, listened to my concerns, thoughtfully responded with ideas that I could apply to my situation and proactively followed up to check in and see how I was doing. I would highly recommend her services.
I have had a lovely experience with Stephanie. I have had a few therapist over the years and Stephanie has been one of the best. It's easy to open up and talk to her. She is attentive and professional but still comfortable and kind. I look forward to our calls each week.
This is my first experience with therapy. Stephanie has been great to work with. I have discussed very personal relationship issues. I leave the session feeling better. It has been nice to discuss issues with someone that is not a friend or family.
She’s very kind and professional. She listens and provides guidance that makes sense to a person in distress. Sometimes it’s hard to comprehend helpful guidance when your back is against the wall, but her approach is excellent and easy to understand.
Stephanie is awesome! She is easy to talk to and has made me feel very comfortable opening and sharing. I never feel judged by her and believe that she’s truly listening. Her advice and recommendations have been incredibly helpful as well.
Stephanie is a compassionate and understanding therapist. She sincerely listens , gives fun homework and I have great confidence in her expertise. Thank you for all you do!
I only had once session with Stephanie. But multiple conversations via chat. I feel like this has helped me already very much.
Great Listener! I’ve never felt so comfortable with a therapist before. She’s so down to earth and helpful with everything I ask her about or I struggle with. It’s truly a blessing.
She gives good advice and makes me think in a different perspective
