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 really feel like I can be myself and I am comfortable with her. Looking forward to working with her
Dr. Occhipinti remembered my history and past discussions, despite going nearly a year between sessions. She also does a great job of restating my issues and enabling me to see things in a different light. As someone in their 50’s, I appreciate having a therapist with some life experience. And I’ll add that she is very responsive to messages through the BetterHelp app.
Working with Dr. Occhipinti for about 9 months and it’s been so helpful to my personal growth and strength. She is a great advocate, listens, asks thought provoking questions, challenges me as I work through marital and family issues. It’s been great to have a place to process and work though hard things outside of the family dynamic.
I always feel very hopeful after a session with Dr. Occhipinti. I found her very welcoming and easy to talk to.
Dr. Occhipinti has been such a light in my life. I am so grateful for her consistent support and guidance.
After my first appointment, I felt heard and understood. She reassured me that I wasn't crazy for feeling the way I did. LOL
Dr Occhipinti has been a tremendous supporter for me. Her Biblical counseling is heart felt and I am so grateful she is helping me through a difficult part of my life
Dr. Occhipinti is an answer to prayer, literally. I haven't talked to a therapist since I was a teenager and I was concerned it would take several attempts to find one I could connect with and feel comfortable with, both about my personal situation and but also relate to the spiritual dynamics I felt were at play in my life. She is knowledgeable, insightful, intuitive and direct. I love that she doesn't beat around the bush and just says the truth, but in kindness. I need that. Part of dealing with one own stuff is having someone willing to tell you when you have egg on your face and help you wipe it off. Having this support at a critical time in my life is so valuable and important. Thank GOD she is a part of the BetterHelp network. What a relief!
One of the best therapists I’ve ever had
Attentive, warm, and professional - Dr. Occhipinti has helped me through rough stages in life. She listens and empathizes with me but most of all - gives me tools to help me regulate my emotions. Really can’t thank her enough for her professional guidance and her support.
She’s an amazing Christian therapist and exactly what I was looking for as I was praying to God to help me find the right therapist.
Dr. Occhipiniti is a great listener. She is easy to connect to and allows a personal feel to the relationship. I believe this is due to her ability to Re center back to God for a deeper growth.
Dr Occhipinti is amazing. Such a caring person who really makes you feel heard and helps you in whatever season of life you are going through
Dr. Occhipinti is fantastic, I could not recommend her more. Her insight is very valuable to me as her approach and tone are so comforting. I truly believe she listens to me and has provided me with resources to work through exactly what I am seeking. If I could give her a 15/10 I would!
Tammy is very good at giving options on how to learn different coping technics. She listens to me without judgement. I like her a lot.
