Recent reviews
Kara has been incredibly helpful since I started working with her. I joined BetterHelp in a time of crisis and with her support I was able to work through that time and our sessions have morphed into working through a lot of other things that I didn’t realize originally were things that needed to be worked on. There are times where I just need an unbiased opinion on something and Kara provides that support and opinion.

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.
