I love my therapist for the way she always tries her best to support me, listen to the struggles and problems I go through, gives her best advice, and communicates with me regardless. I’ve had a therapist before but she is the best one I’ve had and knows how to do her job amazingly and helps those in need. I definitely feel grateful for the fact I was matched on BetterHelp for her to be my therapist.

Sonia has really taken the time and care to listen and help me through every situation I have talked about, even the ones that I had no idea bothered me. It's been very eye opening to know I have a lot more strength than I thought. She provides me coping strategies and encourages me to not focus on perfection- that's all I've ever needed! She's amazing! So grateful for this help!

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.

Sonia is the greatest therapist I’ve ever had. She asks questions about myself and my progress and gives me advice on what I am dealing with. She listens and understands the struggles I tell her and makes me feel comfortable talking to her. I love that she lets you explain as much as you need and response with a supportive answer.
