Mrs. Terry is a great therapist and allows me to face and understand difficult and sometimes easy challenges I've faced from a professional and unbiased perspective. I am already doing things that I would have not done alone due to Mrs. Terry's help. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of counseling.

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.

Ida has very peaceful energy. She listens intently and reminds you when you need to practice a new behavior. She is patient and empathetic when needed but encourages change when necessary. I would highly recommend her for a therapist.
She is patient, understanding, challenging while being supportive, funny, responsive and an overall pleasure to work with
Ida is very caring and genuine. She helps me see the areas I need to improve in and really challenges me in a positive way.
Ida Terry is a wonderful therapist ! She attentive listens and advice has been very helpful for my growth. I have already told people how wonderful better help is due to her and how glad I am to be paired with her for therapy. If I had to rate her from 1-10 I would rather her 100000 ! I recommend her to everyone !
Fathful canceling is good
Ida is a peace filled lady who I imagine practices what she teaches. She is warm and comforting yet doesn’t hold back what I need to hear. I’ve had two sessions and I’m already changing some of my behaviors that have kept me stuck. I would highly recommend her!
Very thankful to have been able to find ida, she’s a warm and wonderful human and a caring and thoughtful therapist. She has helped me come to realizations and talk through things I needed another perspective on. She always points out things I may have missed or need to hear. I couldn’t recommend her enough :)

I am so glad I have Ida. She is wonderful. And very professional
Ida Terry has had a huge impact on my way of thinking, she has been able to teach me ways to keep calm and reflect in situations where I normally become very emotional. I highly recommend her to everyone. She's always able to put a smile on my face and to open my heart to the healing I deserve.
Ida was great...
Ida is a wonderful therapist. Not only is she professional and highly competent, but she is also a great listener and always seems to know just what to say. Ida has shown me many helpful techniques to deal with my anxiety, face any obstacles that come my way and plan for a better, healthier future. In short, she has helped (and is still helping) me to grow as a person and to align my actions with my values, for which I am truly grateful.
Ida was kind and open and made me feel at ease.
Ida has been extremely helpful. Her listening, communication skills have all helped get me going in the right direction. Only positive things to say about BetterHelp and my experience with Ida. She has been great at session to session improvements and has me started feeling better which I didn’t think would happen. Definitely worth it if you are questioning it. Especially if your lucky enough to get Ida
Thank you Ida. You are the best listener.
Ida is so caring and great to work out issues with. She does just the right amount of probing and has help me unpack the why you my actions. Additionally she checks in during the week with insightful suggestions so that you continue your therapy journey beyond the session.
Words can't express how appreciative I am of Ida. I come to therapy sometimes feeling so heavy with grief and I leave feeling like I can get through another day.
Ms. Terry is very insightful and offers advise that is very helpful. She’s a wise lady and a good listener has much to gain.
Ida has a natural ability to listen and offers sound and intuitive advice. Her ability to communicate is effective and I am thankful to have met her. Thank you Ida!
Ida really help me realize the real issues with the way I am feeling.
Ida is an incredibly approachable and respectful counselor. She feels like someone you can really be vulnerable with but she won’t baby you. She will provide you with different perspectives you can use to look at your current situation in a different light that can be really enlightening.
I feel very heard and supported. I am feeling much better already in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for Ida's help, availability and precious support.
She is an excellent at her job.
