I have always had family or friends that I can talk to, but i never seem to find the clarity my inner child is longing for. Therapy has always been something I have been open to, however, I never took the step to actually do it. I feared that i would be judged harshly or that someone would say that “i’m too damaged” or “beyond repair.” Plus, the idea of being in a room with someone who was knowingly evaluating my flaws, terrified me. I started online therapy at 25 years old conveniently through BetterHelp. I had a therapist prior to meeting Kristen and for some reason I didn’t feel at ease. Kristen is SO easy to talk to & prompts questions that help me reflect on my past without making me feel uncomfortable. Talking with her is like talking with a childhood friend. She goes above and beyond to address my feelings and validates them in the moment with examples & explanations that pertain to my unique situation. I am truly grateful to have met her. Each week, we set goals that are challenging, yet attainable. I am entering my 4th week of therapy with a Kristen and I am already seeing improvement within myself.

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.
