About online counseling

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.

I have struggled with my sexuality and being able to be open about it in my relationships in the past. Jonathan has helped me to feel more confident about who I am and has helped me see myself in a different way. I would highly recommend him!

Reviewed September 2024

Jonathan is a wonderful therapist. We hit it off right from the start and that was important for me as I really felt like I was at a very low point in my life. From the first meeting he instantly made me feel comfortable and allowed me to speak openly and freely about my problems and truly express how I was feeling lately. Not only did he listen, but he gave me great tips for handling my stress and panic attacks and has continued to give me advice that has helped me tremendously over the last few weeks since I started BetterHelp. I couldn’t be more grateful to be paired with Jonathan and I plan to continue meeting with him weekly for the foreseeable future.
