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.

She very nice and I feel good to speak with her

Irina, in only 2 sessions so far has been extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to speaking with her again
Decision to start therapy with Irina was the best decision of this year. Best professional that you can only find, I couldn’t even expect that she will help to change my life and solve problems so fast (more than 2 months in therapy right now)
She’s good
Irina is very practical and does a nice job of getting to the heart of a problem or concern. I like the way that she explains how I have gotten into a certain mindset and the sort of tools I need to use to work my way out.
Irina has been able to get out what I’ve been feeling in my head into words in a short period of time already. She listens deeply and doesn’t lose focus of my emotions when I go on about how I am feeling. I feel she understands me and makes me feel comfortable exploring and improving my mental health.
Very good
She is great
Irina Has been such a supportive therapist. I feel she has listened to my problems and gave me some suggestions that have been very helpful. Her insights have been enlightening and has helped me so much.
Love her
Irina has been an incredible therapist. She has helped me through so much and continues to be an incredibly insightful and guiding source
Irina was amazing and really took the time to listen and gave me great insights in just our first meeting and I would love to be placed with her again when I return
Very helpful!! Irina helps me to put together all my thoughts and feelings
She is very intuitive, listens, and offers solutions
Irina listens to my concerns and questions. Gives me good feedback . Makes me feel comfortable and reassures me
I like her
Irina is absolutely wonderful. I’ve only had one session with her and she’s put so much in perspective for me. It truly feels like she understands what I’m going through after such a short time. A complete professional and really wants to get to the source of my problems.
Irina is very professional and empathetic.
Irina is a good listener, sharp and straightforward in her observations. Unlike many therapists she starts with a short follow up and adresses previous sessions. She has a positive approach and a good sense of humor. I recommend her to people who are looking for a proactive therapist
Irina always understands me on a deep level and can help me draw out emotions I didn't even know I had.
Sincerely grateful to therapist Irina Sundukova for her assistance, helpful, and effective advice. During the therapy period, I learned to look at things from a different perspective than before, which benefited me
Irina's sessions always help me to calm down and to see the picture under the different angle. My life being changed dramatically and I went through some hard times feeling real support and help. I am tremendously grateful for this!
I havent met with irina too much yet but she seems to be very knowledgeable. I trust her advice and am going to stick with her. She reassures me that my feelings are normal and i like that. So far i think she is a great therapist.
Thank you Irina! You were awesome. You were able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to help myself through this difficult time in my life. Thank you!
Irina is very easy to talk too. Reassuring. Listens to my concerns. Helps me through the stressors in my life. She doesn’t judge me. I feel better about myself after having a session with her.
Irina is a great listener, who has unique insights into what you have told her. She is wonderful at helping me see things through a more realistic lens. Although, I have to say my favorite thing about Irina is that she gives it to me straight. I'm tired of working with people who dance around things, and Irina doesn't. I give her my highest recommendation.
Irina really helped me get my life in the right direction and I’m forever thankful to her for her expertise and dedication. She not only helped me on the path to healing but helped me to exit therapy successfully.
Irina is awesome! She's disarming but very direct and perceptive in her guidance to me. I really appreciate our conversations and her actionable guidance.
Irina is a fantastic therapist. She is a great listener, rational and empathetic. She provides personal and situational insight where applicable, and allows me to explore my mind in a safe space.
Irina takes the time to get to know her patients and how she can try to help. She is very knowledgable in her field.
She is a really good therapist
Irina is my first therapist with Better Help. She listens and understands me . Helps with my concerns. Gives me good feedback to help solve my problems
Outstanding listener. Makes me feel comfortable to talk openly and honestly and gives great insights.
She really challenged me to get to the root of some of my problems and help me see what is holding me back from being the person I want to be.I highly recommend her!
Irina is the best therapist I’ve had (and I’ve had many). She listens but also pushes me to explore different mindsets!
Irina was a tremendous help in identifying the ways my spouse and I were interacting and the root of some of my behaviors.
Very attentive and supportive! Really enjoy our sessions together! She’s the best!
She listens very well and makes sure to ask about everything that bothers you. I actually enjoy our sessions so much that I sometimes wish we could talk for hours because I feel so good after our talks.
She gets it.
Irina is and incredible listener and applies the proper help needed to overcome life’s ups and downs. She’s very moving in what she does and finds a way to present a better understanding of yourself. I can’t thank her enough
She not only listens great but also is proactive unlike alot of therapists that make you feel like they are just listening and not helping get out of problem.
Irina has been on of the most positive influences in my life and helped me find confidence during a hard time in my life.
Irina is excelent at pinpointing the root of issues and finding the best way to iron them out. I may have only had the pleassure of working with her for a month now but so many "normal" things have been brought to light that I didn't know had an effect on me. She cares and it shows every week.
Irina is amazing!! I can not say enough good things about her. She dug out problems that I didn't really know I had or refused to identify. She really helped me realize my true self and helped not just me but my marriage as well for communicating. She would be my go to lady if I ever need thearpy again!!
Irina has been extremely supportive and helpful during my journey. I would highly recommend her expertise to anyone who needs a slight eye-opener and a sense of relief in their lives. Sandra:)
IRINA IS EXCELLENT! she listens ACTIVELY and is aware of everything you said. She made observations about me that I have never heard before. I will continue with her as my normal therapist.
Irina is a wonderful therapist and I connected with her with in 20 min when I started talking about my life ! She understood everything I am going through and was 100% helpful with my situation! Thank you thank you and definitely appreciate her presence on the app!
I have been seeing Irina weekly for almost 12 weeks and she gas immensely helped me understand things about family history, relationships and my personal issues. I would highly recommend Irina as a therapist if you're seeking personal help.
She is really an amazing therapist I definitely recommend
Irina always seems to ask the right questions to make me really think. Our conversations so far have gone right to the heart of some of my concerns and have me developing a better understanding of myself and where to go from here already. I just finished my second session with her. I was looking forward to my appointment all day today. She helps me to feel safe and validated.
Great listener and knew exactly where to spend the short session time
Professional, kind, and shares her expertise in a way that brings light and joy to difficult subjects. Ty Irina!
Shes helping!!
