Lakisha Gomez is just WONDERFUL. I was a little nervous to start fresh with a new therapist but she is so sweet and made sure to ask me about what my goals were for counseling and about my expectations for our sessions and I really appreciated that. I am amazed at how well we vibe and that she seems to understand exactly what I'm trying to articulate. She has helped me make a lot of progress already - I'm so grateful for Lakisha!

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.

Lakisha is absolutely amazing. She is a good listener, and a calming presence. She has helped me to halt myself when going down a pathway of thinking that does not serve me and to ground myself in order to move forward in an intentional manner in line with my purpose. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in working on themselves and becoming a more evolved version of who they truly are, even if that feels buried under layers of trauma <3 Thanks, Lakisha and BetterHelp <3
She’s an extremely empathetic and compassionate therapist. She always helps you find the positive outlook in everything situation.
Lakisha is incredibly warm and supportive. She is an amazing listener and offers solid advice. She goes above and beyond. I am always saying this, but give her a raise! She's the best counselor I've had on this platform so far!
She’s amazing! Lakisha has helped me a lot! I would recommend her to anyone, she gives me peace.
Trustworthy great advice
