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.

Dr Haut is amazing! She listens and is very understanding and knowledgeable. She is a very caring and compassionate therapist.
Amazing!
Dr. Haut is wonderful, very relatable and down to earth. She has made several very helpful suggestions in just my first two session. She has given me different ways to frame my thinking. I am already feeling better and more able to handle what life is throwing at me. I'm so glad I started betterhelp and was matched with her.
The therapist I worked with, Dr. Haut, a compassionate woman, demonstrated exceptional empathy and active listening skills. Her ability to create a non-judgmental space allowed me to open up comfortably. She skillfully guided discussions, offering insightful perspectives and coping strategies. What stood out was her adaptability in tailoring approaches to my unique needs, fostering a sense of trust. The therapeutic alliance formed was genuine, promoting a constructive environment for personal growth. With a strong grasp of various therapeutic modalities, she showcased both professionalism and a genuine passion for helping others navigate their challenges. Overall, a highly effective and compassionate practitioner, making a significant impact on my well-being.
Dr. Haut is easy to talk to; she's a great listener and provides helpful feedback and strategies to help deal with anxiety.
I started BetterHelp a month ago, nervous that I would have to really search for a good therapist, Dr. Haut immediately was super friendly and kind, she listened to my feelings and issues I was having, we’ve had two live sessions and I’ve already felt a bit better about getting through my days. I highly suggest Dr. Haut.
