About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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 really appreciate her tenderness. She really does want to help me. I've had terrible experiences with counselors, in the last, but Amanda brings so much possibilities of healing each time we talk. She is the counselor I needed when I was younger, and I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me, even in our budding time together.

Amanda is the best counselor I’ve ever had, and this is coming from someone who’s been in and out of therapy for 12 years. When she listens, she really listens.

Amanda has been nothing but kind, helpful, and caring. She has gone out of her way to make me feel as comfortable as possible, and she always reassures me of any concern, no matter how big or small. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to talk to her about my personal issues and to hear the advice she has to offer.

I was paired with Amanda around six months ago. This was my first time trying therapy and Amanda has made it so easy! From the start she’s been kind, available, and easy to open up to. She challenges me to grow and has been a great person to talk to about new ideas and also the day to day. She’s understood me from the start and I feel like she truly cares about me, my present and future.

I feel so lucky to have been matched with Amanda as my counselor. She is thoughtful, eloquent, hilarious, and makes me feel at ease. I have had bad experiences with therapists in the past and she has made me a believer in therapy once again. She has given me a safe space to vent and be myself without the fear of criticism. Her advice has been quite useful and I do feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you BetterHelp for connecting us!

I’ve only been working with Amanda for a month now, but she’s absolutely amazing! She listens to everything, not just what you say but your emotions as you speak as well. She encourages you to talk and speak freely about what’s on your mind and her support, responses, and suggestions are so helpful. She responds extra fast every time I have reached out, even well after midnight. This is my first time ever getting counseling and Amanda has been the best! Highly recommended.

I trust her so much and have trusted her since our first time speaking together. I have grown so much in the time that I have been talking with her and am grateful for all of the clarity that she offers me and the empowering space she has created for me and encourages me to create for myself. Amanda is the best counselor I have ever had the luck to interact with and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I have been in therapy with Amanda for just over a month and she has helped me far beyond any expectations that I ever had about therapists. Being bi-polar and having the feelings associated with the illness for my entire life, I really didn't know what it was like to be able to feel clearly, although I have been on various medication for over 20 years. Amanda has helped me in various ways to the point that I have the drive and energy to move on with the rest of my life without fear of my illness. Although I know being bi-polar will never completely leave me, Amanda has shown me ways to cope with my illness and I am deeply grateful for everything she has done for me. I look forward to spending more time with her online and moving forward in my treatment. THANK YOU AMANDA!
