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.

Dr Haut is amazing! She listens and is very understanding and knowledgeable. She is a very caring and compassionate therapist.
Amazing!
Dr. Haut is wonderful, very relatable and down to earth. She has made several very helpful suggestions in just my first two session. She has given me different ways to frame my thinking. I am already feeling better and more able to handle what life is throwing at me. I'm so glad I started betterhelp and was matched with her.
The therapist I worked with, Dr. Haut, a compassionate woman, demonstrated exceptional empathy and active listening skills. Her ability to create a non-judgmental space allowed me to open up comfortably. She skillfully guided discussions, offering insightful perspectives and coping strategies. What stood out was her adaptability in tailoring approaches to my unique needs, fostering a sense of trust. The therapeutic alliance formed was genuine, promoting a constructive environment for personal growth. With a strong grasp of various therapeutic modalities, she showcased both professionalism and a genuine passion for helping others navigate their challenges. Overall, a highly effective and compassionate practitioner, making a significant impact on my well-being.
Dr. Haut is easy to talk to; she's a great listener and provides helpful feedback and strategies to help deal with anxiety.
I started BetterHelp a month ago, nervous that I would have to really search for a good therapist, Dr. Haut immediately was super friendly and kind, she listened to my feelings and issues I was having, we’ve had two live sessions and I’ve already felt a bit better about getting through my days. I highly suggest Dr. Haut.
