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.

Gessica has been absolutely amazing. She's exactly the person I needed as my therapist. She listens she understands. I can tell she puts in work outside of our sessions in preparation for our next session. She gives good homework and great tools that I use every day. She really understands me and it's what I so needed during this trying time in my life. I would recommend her to anyone

In my short time with Gessica as my therapist, she has taught me skills to cope with anxiety that have been life changing. She is responsive and I can tell she truly cares for her patients. She provides her undivided attention during our sessions and makes herself available outside of our live session if I am ever feeling like I need advice with something I am experiencing. I greatly appreciate her and the help she has provided me with thus far.

Reviewed June 2023

I've written a for Gessica before, so hopefully that is still there for people to see, but I'll say it again: Gessica is the most caring, attentive, brilliant therapist I've ever had. And I've had plenty. She remembers details that I've shared, understands the core things I'm trying to work through, will message me throughout the week if she sees something that would be helpful for me. The great thing about Gessica is that it's not just the time in the session that is helpful - she is there for me, helping me grow, giving me tools I need and helping me work through my challenges all the time, even on days we don't meet. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. The people in my life can tell what a difference working with her has made. I'm so grateful for her.

Gessica is the best. I always end our sessions feeling better and I have made great strides in my mental state and in my personal and professional life.

I've had many counselors and therapists in my life - since I was in middle school, on and off. As an adult, I took a very long break from therapy after a not-so-great experience. I'll be honest, I had reservations about trying BetterHelp. I had tried another similar service for therapy before and hadn't found it helpful. But Gessica has assuaged every one of my misgivings - she is the best, most effective therapist I've ever had. She's patient, generous, kind, smart, has a wonderful sense of humor, and, very importantly, extremely knowledgable. I'd been avoiding therapy for a while, and finally, when I was like, "I need help," she was exactly what I needed. She's expert at guiding me when I'm lost. She teaches me and helps me put into practice the tools and techniques I need to help heal deep wounds but also function more effectively in day to day life. I leave every session feeling more equipped to handle my mental struggles more than ever. I've never left a session feeling like things I needed addressed didn't get addressed, something that has been a rarity with other therapists I've had. Another wonderful thing about Gessica is that if she thinks of something that could be useful between sessions, she'll message me during the week. She's extremely responsive and in tune with her clients. I couldn't recommend her enough. She's an amazing human and an amazing therapist.
