Michelle is the third therapist I’ve worked with through BetterHelp and I feel like I hit the jackpot with her. She helped me to work through sexual trauma from my childhood that I had been avoiding/repressing for almost 20 years. It is very vulnerable to do that, and yet I felt really safe with Michelle. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted now that I have worked through this trauma, and I am so grateful to Michelle for helping me to get to where I am.

I love Michelle! I’m so happy to have found her on my second try because I didn’t connect with my first therapist. Michelle reached out to me before we met and has continued to stay in communication with me throughout the week. She listens to me and encourages me to make decisions and goals I feel comfortable with. She moves at the pace I need and I feel so safe with her in this process.

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.
