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.

So very thankful for Ruthie Goodwin. She knows the wall of grief and keeping good faith.
Ruthie gives great advice and is very kind and understanding. I have greatly enjoyed working with her.
Ruthie has been a Godsend! From our first meeting, Ruthie has pointed to Christ, reminding me that I’m not alone through my healing and has prayed with me. Her gentle voice comforts me as she unfolds things I must deal with and guides me through the process! She is so sweet but tells me like it is! It’s like she’s an old friend I can trust and confide in! Everyone needs a Ruthie in their lives, I’m glad I found her through Better Help! Thank you Ruthie for your heart to serve and love for the broken!
