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.

Charlie has been so great. Very intelligent and vey kind
Charlie has been a great therapist. I feel like he really is a safe space to discuss things with. He makes me feel heard and genuinely cares about the well being of his patients.
Charlie is a good therapist. I’m new to this so I don’t have experience. I do think Charlie is matter of fact, gentle, and thoughtful about anything I bring to the conversation. I think it would be hard to go wrong in having Charlie as your therapist.
Charlie has been such a great support for me as I’ve gone through grad school, academic probation, a faith transition, struggles with friends and family and dealing with everyday anxiety. He is helpful and empowering. He has helped me improve my self talk and coping mechanisms. He is a great listener.
Charlie’s great man. Always had good times open that work really for me. On time and really good at listening. Not just listening though, gives me therapy goals to pursue in the meantime which is pretty huge. Very friendly but knows when to hop right into what’s been bothering me the past week. I haven’t seen to many therapists but he from my point of view he is a great one!
Haven’t had many sessions with Charlie so far, but from the time I have had with him, I know I will enjoy my sessions with him. He has been extremely understanding with what I have told him about and asks questions so I give myself a different perspective. He also has checked in on me regularly which has made me feel more comfortable with my therapy journey.
He was very empathic and listened
Great listener. Helps me see ways to better understand myself and how I'm feeling. Highly recommend
Charlie has been amazing in helping me soundboard and process the stresses of my personal and academic life. He listens and lets me problem solve situations. He encourages me and helps direct my line of thinking so I can clearly see the path laid before me to improve my life and choices.
Charlie is a therapist that gets to know your interests and then relates lessons you can learn from the interests into your life. He makes sure that you understand what he’s trying to teach you and listens to what you’re telling him you need.
Charlie has been amazing. I never feel judged. He is easy to talk to. And I feel like he genuinely cares about my well being. I'm very grateful to be able to work with him.

Charlie has been a great help in untangling issues in my life and helping me have a safe place to voice things I have not been proud of.
Charlie makes me feel heard
Finding a therapist that you can connect with and feel comfortable with can take time. Being aware of this, I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I was able to feel that Charlie cares deeply and is undoubtedly passionate about helping others. He listens well and has the expertise which I believe can help me in the best ways possible. He is easy to understand and he is easy to communicate with. I'm very lucky and so thrilled to have him as my therapist!! I am excited to continue my journey in learning and progressing as an individual with Charlie's help. Great things are yet to come!
Always responds thoughtfully, asks insightful questions to help me see deeper and more clearly. Honors my feelings and genuinely wants the best for me. So thankful for my experiences with Charlie and highly recommend.
Charlie is very caring and a great listener.
I checked on some that were very borderline. He’s excellent and hearing me out!
We haven't met yet but I have been very impressed with his care for me and his efforts to get to know me.
It's going well. I feel heard and validated, and that I matter. I'm enjoying therapy.
Charles has helped me achieve my goals and I totally love the help he had to offer me :)
He is great at keeping me on track
Great therapist! Really caring and helpful!
I have really enjoyed having Charles as my therapist so far. He is very kind and listens to me but also challenges my thoughts to help me think of scenarios in a different way. I have felt very comfortable having him as my therapist and have never felt judged or awkward when I tell him how I feel or what I am thinking.
He was a great listener and always had a positive outlook on how to deal with things
Understanding. Good listener and adapts to my needs.
Charles was immediately easy ti speak with! He has a very relaxed demeanor and has so far helped me feel validated and opened my perspective to work through some issues
Excellent support, great at measuring when you need to talk and when you're open for advice/guidance. i love chatting with him and getting feedback, he's extremely good
Charles is a great therapist! He has helped me navigate through some obstacles that I was going through. And I I just wanna say if it weren’t for his help, I probably would’ve never overcame it .
Charles is a great listener and I feel like he gets me. We’ve had some really good visits and I always come away with positive reinforcement AND some specific, manageable action items that I feel excited to implement. I’ve found the help I needed!
Charles has been a great listener and a trustworthy ally as I navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life.
Charles has been great to work with. And I greatly appreciate having access to therapy at varying times/dates to accommodate my schedule is so helpful.
He’s a great therapist. I’m actually skeptical of this whole process, but I’m loving working with Charles.
Charles Johnson is very personable, open, and good at listening. Helps me feel safe and listened to because he addresses concerns and goals throughly. Also, helps educate why I may feel what I feel and what are things that may help benefit in getting better using worksheets/informational handouts. Would definitely recommend highly!!
Charles has been an amazing therapist! He truly listens, and helped me troubleshoot my plan if it wasn't working. He also checked on me during current events that impacted many lives whether positive or negative.
Immediately helped me focus on the right things and gave me some great tools for communication! Highly recommend Charles Johnson for anybody in need of therapy.
He is wonderful. Really enjoy our sessions.
He is very helpful And kind .
Great job
Things in common culturally. He gets the ex Mormon thing and I feel comfortable enough to cry in front of him
Charles is amazing. BetterHelp is amazing. I found them both at a time of crisis, and I plan to continue to have and use these valuable mental health tools throughout my life. I like to think of them like a personal trainer and gym for my mental health. :)
Charles has been amazing. I don't even feel like I'm in therapy yet I get so much out of our sessions. He listens and validates me. He has the knowledge and resources to help me be in the best emotional state I've been in for years despite being in one of the roughest spots in life I've ever been in.
Best therapist I have had yet.
Charles is one of the best people to JP Mobile RV Repair with. He takes time to focus on just me even if he has a family or anything else. He truly is someone that will listen and give his professional opinion.
Charles is great! Has helped me a lot so far. I still have things to work though. But I plan on keeping him as my therapist. I'll always need one especially with my job (I'm an EMT) and he understands the day to day struggles as a first responder.
Charles is just an amazing human being. He makes you feel seen and validated- all while helping you through everything. I was very wary to try talking to a therapist, but I felt comfortable talking to him immediately! Even on hard days I know that he is there to support in any way he can..
Charlie is easily the best therapist I've ever had. His perspective and approach are the perfect balance of professional and personable. He celebrates my success just as much as I do and leaves me with the confidence I need to make necessary life changes. I honestly wish I could've found him sooner!
The best, I appreciate him.
