When I first joined BetterHelp, I had a horrible experience (NOT FAIZA) with the first therapist that I was matched with and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep my membership because of the awful experience. But then I got matched with Faiza. She exceeded my expectations in what I was looking for in a therapist, I would actually say I got lucky. She comes from a similar background as me , with similar beliefs as well, so it was easy to connect with her . She truly understands me , I don’t feel judged and she gives great advice as well. She listens (despite me talking about 100 different things in each session ), she gives her feedback , she gives great advice, and she follows up and remembers what we talk about in the previous session, which I really appreciate. I got lucky with Faiza. Highly recommend her even if it means less sessions for me because we all have to share her time. She’s definitely great at her profession and you can tell she’s truly here to help people. I hope you all get lucky with an amazing therapist like her!

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.
