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.

I feel more comfortable with her after just a few visits than I have with any other therapist I've had
Excellent experience
Antonina helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I was struggling in so many areas and she helped me focus and prioritize, which made life more manageable. I would highly recommend Antonina to anyone who is overwhelmed by life's obstacles.
Antonina has been a great listener and responds in a timely manner. We haven't been working together long, but I feel like she understands most of what I've brought up in sessions, and had given a little guidance to push back on my stressors.
She is awesome. We haven’t had much time together yet but I feel so heard and understood.
To anyone in a position that virtual counseling would best benefit them like me, and can find a counselor or therapist that fits their needs like Mrs. Barr fits mine. Then I could not recommend BetterHelp or Mrs. Barr enough.
She is very friendly and kind.
I’ve enjoyed every session so far and I truly believe that she will give me the guidance and help I need. I’m very grateful.
Therapy is new to me and it was not an easy step to take. My therapist is listening to me and I feel like I can tell her anything. Her responses are easy to understand and I can understand how to apply next steps clearly. I would highly recommend.
It has been a very helpful experience. In just a few short sessions, I have been able to grasp control of my emotions and start to look for solutions.
