Joanna has been attentive and understands all my issues. She encourages and believes in people’s capability to be better. If one way did not work, she’ll suggest a few more that caters to the situation! This ensures me that she is a great therapist

I needed help during my first months of pregnancy, because my world was changing and things became too much and very confusing. I had a therapist before but he was a man and didn't work online. Better Help chose the best person I could imagine for my specifications and I could get help even on days when I couldn't leave the couch. Jo is so kind and non-judgemental, that I felt a lot of trust to share my inner world very openly from the very beginning. My baby is developing in a much calmer environment thanks to Jo. She is a therapist for both of us. :)

About online counseling

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

I’ve had one session with jo & a few messages inbetween and I have a lot of confidence in her. She is taking her time with me and is happy to do my sessions via chat as I struggle to verbally speak about things. She has pointed out a few options I have with work sheets etc to help with some of my issues & concerns. I’m a ver closed off person but I feel comfortable speaking to jo about my history & past traumas etc. Definitely hoping for a good future & with the help of jo I believe it’s possible! I would highly recommend jo to anyone who is struggling esp if you struggle to verbally say things out loud.
