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.

Overall rating:
I love that it’s like talking to a friend instead of a stranger.
I've only had two sessions with Mrs.Maria, and will continue many more.
Maria is great at being understanding and sympathetic with my thoughts, feelings and emotions. She goes above and beyond to better help you, and she does an amazing job at it.
Maria is very sensitive and caring.
She is gentle and understanding, willing to listen, offer me prayers after the session.
Maria is kind, compassionate, respectful and full of knowledge for what you are coming to her for. Each session always feels like I’m sitting with a trusted friend who has my best interest at heart and wants to see me succeed. I feel heard, seen, and understood. I love how proactive Maria was since day one, which was such a major change from past therapists I have worked with. I love the assignments she has given me to work on my ‘stuff’ and have found all of it benifical and life changing. As long as I continue to apply everything on a consistent bases. I highly recommend Maria and Betterhelp! There is nothing more filling then knowing that there is someone out there who truly wants to see you win and not stay stuck in old behaviors. Maria is a rare find and I feel blessed to know that God made sure she was the therapist I would need on this journey!
Very professional and listens and responds with great advice and encouragement
Outstanding
Maria is culturally sensitive, very caring and empathetic and I feel much better that she is now apart of my healing!
