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.

Pamela has been a great therapist. She is empathic when I share my struggles, and she celebrates with me when I have victories. She provides homework which I like because I can put what we’ve talked about to practice. She has offered me many new ideas and advice for situations I have/am going through that I did not know before. And I feel very comfortable talking to her as well!

Better Help has offered several platforms to help me work through my anxiety and learning how to heal from Co-Dependency and past Trauma. Pamela has been key to keeping me grounded. She understands the person I am and how to guide me to the places I need to heal. She is supportive and is always there when I send a journal entry or a message to encourage me and remind me I am not alone. She uses tools such as "thought logs" and "cognitive behavior distortions" worksheets as well, both are extremely helpful to keep me focused and to retrain my brain to healthy thinking.
