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.

A great man who knows alot
If you're lucky enough to be matched with Mark you won't need to switch therapists. I'm not just saying that, but over the years I've had many therapists give up on me, throw me in the too hard basket. Mark does not do that. He will find a way, a challenge doesn't scare him, is compassionate and understanding of a variety of issues. I'm so grateful to have Mark as my therapist and I will be staying on this platform until he's sick of me!
I've been working with Mark for nearly six months now. He has helped me to deal with a variety of issues including: changing unwanted behaviors, managing anxiety, developing a more positive perspective, reducing friction in my relationships, and helping me to stay positive through one of the most difficult and challenging portions of my life thus far. His advice and calming presence are truly indispensable in my life right now.
Mark has really helped me gain a better understanding of my marital relationship and how to improve it. He's a very focused listener, responding with insight and suggestions that on very much on target. He has also provided me with study materials that have helped me work through key issues. I highly recommend him!
Highly recommend Mark. He is an extremely insightful, gentle and understanding person. He's been very reliable and helpful to me in my struggles with bouncing back after 10 years of continuous trauma. I needed someone who could understand and hold space for many different psychological issues and help me find solutions from multiple angles. After 15 months of therapy with Mark I can honestly say he's made a huge positive impact on my life. I really recommend him to anyone who is ready to turn their life around.
A wise and helpful individual.
Mark is an excellent and compassionate therapist. He listens to me and offers me great advice. I'd recommend Mark to anyone that is struggling.
Mark is very human and compassionate. I feel like he truly cares and is listening and also responds with proactive feedback.
Thank you Mark for your promptness in responses and hearing me out always. Providing solutions
Mark Anderson is a genuine human being who listens and responds effectively. Feels exactly like speaking to a loved one, and in saying that, he is easy to like and love. As always, find who is best suited for yourself, but would highly try Mark at least once! He has helped tremendously.
We have just started our online counselling together, but very happy so far.
I have worked with Mark for a little over a year now as I was dealing with the loss of a loved one and a corresponding existential depression. I am so grateful for all the support he has provided me - from addressing all my concerns, to being available on short notice, and equipping me with techniques I can use for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Mark for anyone who wants a calm expert on how the brain works!
Mark has been able to recognize issues I didn’t know I had and provide positive strategies to get me to a place I feel like myself again. BetterHelp did a fantastic job matching me to a therapist who could listen, challenge and support me.
Highly recommend
He’s the best! So human with his responses but so helpful
Mark is really professional and corteous. I trust in his techniques. He really knows how to probe those emotions and make you realize what the real problem is.
I've found my conversations with Mark to be very helpful. He is both professional and very funny and I really appreciate that combo. He is a great listener and has a lot of resources at hand to share that are helpful for further reflection.
I was quite specific in what I asked for as wanted solution focused therapy instead of person centred counselling. I was matched with Mark and it was an excellent match. Mark has really delivered what I had asked for in helping me find solutions. Using worksheets etc. Goal setting etc . Mark is very relatable, down to earth and has a good sense of humour. Very relaxed and put me at my ease.
I feel very safe sharing with Mark, and love his methodology. I feel supported in my own discoveries, he lets me figure things out on my own and simply guides me through certain things whenever he feels necessary. Sometimes I do feel like he holds back certain things, but I always feel like it's in a "saying this now would not be productive and it'll be better if he figures it out on his own" sort of way. All in all he is a great counselor and I am really happy to have been matched with him.
I am 26 years old and have tried counselling a handful of time before and never really connected with anyone until I met Mark through betterhelp. He is Kind, Calm, and very easy to talk to. His knowledge has helped me in many ways. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who has had troubles counselling.
Mark has made my therapy journey manageable and productive. He's helped me figure out how to frame my issues and approach them with the tools I need. He's gentle and a great listener.
Mark is a great listener who gives thoughtful advice. I look forward to our chats every week.
Mark understands my needs and gives me practical advice and tools to better cope with anxiety and other life chalenges . He is easy to get a hold of and is quick to respond to my messages.
Mark is knowledgeable and caring person who helped me through a very tricky personal situation I was going through. Would recommend him to others
Mark has been great, very chill and nice to talk to.
I have had sessions with Mark for the past two months and I can say he is amazing. He really listens to your problems and guides you through ways to overcome them and see situations in a clearer light. His voice is very comforting and kind, you really get the sense he truly cares and wants to help you through this. He sends me information guides and help sheets after every session to ensure I get the most out of every session. He has helped me through this rough time and I felt safe and calm after every phone call. Thank you.
Mark is very knowledgeable and is easy to talk with! He makes you feel comfortable and allows you to all freely! Great experience over all
Very nice and very helpful
Mark is a great counselor with lots of life experience. Our sessions are very helpful for me and whenever I text him, he responds quickly and in great detail. I absolutely recommend him!
I’ve only just started working with Mark, but already feel he has a great understanding of me and my concerns, and has laid out a great plan for how to address them. Looking forward to continuing my work with him!
Mark presents very composed and controlled. He’s a skilled listener, and shares his expertise gracefully. I would highly recommend Mark.
I've found my sessions with Mark very helpful. He helped me catch negative thinking patterns and rebuild my confidence and self-esteem after experiencing trauma. We are now working on using those skills to help me set healthier boundaries. He is a very good listener and has great insights. Thank you so much.
Highly recommend Mark. It's clear that he is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to help you understand yourself better. I only just began therapy but I'm looking forward to my future sessions and feel I am in good hands.
