Denise Doster has been more than satisfactory in our interactions. She serves as a great sounding board with sound counsel. The worksheets she provides are simple and to the point. Her replies to messaging are timely and offer possible solutions to different life situations. I truly like the ability to text her through the app which allows me time to word my questions and share my opinions in a timely manner. The weekly conversations are valuable without a doubt, but the text is real-time concerns that may be forgotten during the next live session. The advice I get from Denise is valuable life skill tools I am adding to my toolbox to not only improve my life but the lives of others as well. I was not sure if online counseling would be right for me in the beginning. So far it seems to work as well as the traditional appointments in person. I like the schedule pm sessions it works with my busy schedule perfectly. Thank you for your service and if all your counselors are like Denise your company will help improve many lives.

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.

Denise is a great Christian counselor! She became a good friend and help with me dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. It was just great having someone to talk to that could understand what I was dealing with and encouraged me, and gave me tools to handle them.

Denise Doster is amazing, knowledgeable and such a great listener. I am so thankful to have been assigned to her. She is really a huge part of my healing process currently and I don’t know where I would be without her and betterhelp. So grateful for both this service and for her!
I haven’t worked with her long, but in the time I have she has been validating and empathetic. I feel like I can really talk to her about what I’m dealing with and will get not just an understanding ear but also someone who can offer me ideas of how to handle what I’m going through. She is an excellent social worker and I would recommend her.
I'm not a very open person but I feel very comfortable in talking with Denise. Thus far I would continue with my sessions! She is great.
Denise is absolutely amazing and so easy to talk to. Within the first week of counseling I was feeling like a new person! Over the past few weeks she has helped me work through my struggles to overcome the trauma and after effects of years of abuse. She has helped me feel stronger, more confident, and given me a sense of renewed hope.
Denise is very diligent in ensuring conversation continues, with polite check in emails to look forward to if my response has slipped from my focus. Her attentiveness and availability is helpful.
Denise is thoughtful and thorough. I find her straight-to-the-point attitude very refreshing. She uses her experience to creatively custom tailor successful action plans while clearly empathizing with each of her clients.
She is professional. She cares about her clients. She responds quickly. She is compassionate. I would highly recommend her.
