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.

Great
It's nice to have a neutral person to share your life with. Sergio is really opening my mind and helping me correct my issues.
Sergio was a blessing, He helped me through a difficult time and helped me realize where I could become better as well as see things more clear. If you are looking for a therapist who listens and makes you feel heard this is where I would send you
Sergio has been a game changer for me. He gives me the tools I need in a relatable way so I can overcome the mental and emotional challenges I face.
I'm going through a really difficult time right now. At my advanced age I've never been a big believer in "talk therapy" but Sergio has completely changed my point of view on this. He has been interactive, professional, recommended varied points of view to tackle the ongoing problems, and didn't just sit and say "so, how does that make you feel?" Thanks Sergio and thanks BetterHelp for this platform which is so much easier for me than driving in to someone's office and getting all dolled up just to have a discussion.
Exceptional experience
Sergio has been very helpful in giving me insights and things to consider when making decisions in this difficult time of my life. His perspectives on why things might have happened helped me to better understand my situation and how to proceed from there. I’m looking forward for more sessions with him. Highly recommended, he’s really an awesome therapist, thanks so much, Sergio!
Excellent therapist who really cares for his clients. Listened very well and always has really good advice. I would recommend to anybody that had the same problems as me, and I’m sure he can help others with different problems as well.

Sergio possesses a remarkable ability to listen attentively and offer insightful guidance. His approach is both compassionate and practical, and I always leave our sessions feeling understood and empowered. He has truly made a positive impact on my life, and I am grateful to have him as my therapist.
Sergio has been very helpful and is a great therapist. I never thought about getting and therapist but this has been one the best decisions that I have made.
This is my first time in therapy for my mental health. I am thankful for getting paired with Sergio as my therapist. He was attentive, allowed me to talk as much as I needed to about my situation and offered me advice I haven't necessarily gotten elsewhere from friends and family. I've still got a journey ahead of me, but Sergio definitely helped expedite the process for me to get me back on my feet. I definitely recommend Sergio if you are using BetterHelp. Thanks again Sergio.
So easy to talk to and trust. Very knowledgeable and understanding. It’s so hard to talk about certain things with anyone and he makes me feel at ease no matter what the situation is.
Sergio has been excellent and have gave me great ways to view my issue and give guidance.
