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.

Dorina is amazing!!!
Dorina honored my self identity in two sessions and provided assistance reaching goals. Transition is a rough map to plan , however Dorina’s help has been greatly appreciated.
Dorina is very gifted at what she does. She’s an amazing listener and has helped me break some of my recurring thinking patterns that were keeping me stagnant. We get to the root during our conversations. She remembers everything, she is so kind and helpful. I am very thankful for all that she has done. I’m also so impressed how Better Help matched us. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist who really gets me.
Dorina has truly helped me nurture my mental health. I have learned a lot with her on coping with my stress and anxiety. I feel extremely comfortable with her and highly recommend her expertise. She provides amazing support and I feel very refreshed and confident after every session. I can't say enough how amazing Dorina is!!!
Dorina has been a great help and I really appreciate her vast knowledge.
