I have worked as a social worker since 1985. I have worked as a therapist since 1989 in inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient, including day hospital and rehab programs in the VA system with veterans and in hospice. I have worked with all populations from children to geriatrics, including childcare worker at an emergency shelter for children , and DHHR-CPS worker, to therapist for seniors from inpatient to outpatient.

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.

Reviewed August 2022

I was stubborn to trying Betterhelp as it can be a bit expensive paying monthly rather than weekly but I'm so thankful I did. I was assigned to Olivia and she is wonderful. She understands my struggles and challenges me to rethink my narrative. Most therapists I've ever had just listen. No one ever took the time to ask me to dissect my thoughts and that is fantastic. I still feel like giving up regularly but every so often I'm able to remind myself that maybe there is hope. Maybe one day I will feel better. Maybe. I have Olivia to thank for that.
