Susan has been the catalyst in allowing me to grow and promote my relationship with myself. She is empathic and most of all helps me balance the scales with whatever I’m dealing with which is something I really struggle with. I’ve recommended BetterHelp to everyone who asks me about my journey with therapy and I’d recommend Susan to anyone I care about because she has been so lovely all around and extremely supportive.

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.
