Breakthrough after breakthrough! Julie has helped me over overcome so many emotions, family situations, fears, and anxieties! All with being Christian based, which was very important to me. I feel like I have a lifelong friend and can’t imagine not chatting with her as I continue to go along through life! The tools and lessons that I have been provided with will be used to pass down to my children as well, and it’s hard to imagine something more special than knowing I’m changing my life and legacy for the better. Thank you, Better Help!

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.

Julie is great. She has given me several tips, worksheets, and book recommendations that has helped me to get to my desired goals for better communication with my wife and grown children.
Very supportive! Responsive, checked in when I went off the grid
Julie is a compassionate, optimistic, and supportive counselor in every sense. From our first session, I could tell that working with her would empower and equip me to accomplish my goals. She is full of wisdom and in many situations has drawn on her own experience to give great insight, which I greatly value and appreciate. I feel like I have made progress on what I would like to accomplish with therapy in just the few months we have worked together, and this would have been possible without her!
I feel extremely comfortable and confident that my sessions with Julie are informative, helpful, and healing. It's only been 2 so far but I feel that I can become a better person with her help.
