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’m very pleased with my therapist
I HIGHLY recommend VaJezatha. She has changed my life with her active listening and wise words of wisdom.
VaJezatha Payne is very professional, kind and offers the best advice/insight. By far the best therapist I’ve ever had very grateful to have found her.
I've been in therapy for more than 20 years in person. I had thought an online seesion would not be for me. With Ms Payne, I now feel differently.
I was so nervous about starting therapy but I knew it was necessary for my healing journey moving forward. I was nervous about not being combatible with my therapist and having to find someone but the app did wonders in asking me specific questions that catered specifically towards what I needed in a therapist. Vajezatha is everything I ever wished for in a therapist and laid my nervousness to rest. I have only had one session with her and already I feel the positive change I’m starting in my life due to her guidance. She is up to date on worldly issues, she provides an at ease setting, and is very direct and gets down to business while also being gentle. It is evident that this is her calling. I would recommend her to anyone.
I’m a quiet and shy person and I was lacking confidence when I first came to Better Help. But VaJezatha has really been a champion for me and encouraged me beyond what I ever expected and has helped me understand what’s going on in my head in clinical terms. She feels like a really good friend and gives me practical ways into helping me love myself.
I’ve already recommended this service to 3 people. I love my therapist. I have issues opening up but she is getting me to do it. At my pace.
I’m extremely pleased with my sessions with VaJezatha. She understands my feelings and needs and listens to me and is truly someone who supports and respects me as well. I look forward to our sessions because I know I’m protected and will be able to express myself without any judgment. She is extremely supportive and knowledgeable and I’m happy to continue working with her
I love how understanding and knowledgeable VaJezatha is , she literally had me bawling my first session and she made opening up to he very easy . I can’t wait to see how far she helps me get during my healing journey .
I am extremely grateful for my Therapist VaJezatha Payne. I am empowered from our sessions, and relieved that had a someone to speak with about my challenges. I have a lot more clarity.
