I am grateful that I was matched with my therapist, Korine Starkey! I feel understood when speaking to her and she asks good questions which provides a guideline in the conversation. I turned to Betterhelp, because of the difficulty of choosing the right therapist and I am pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I also find that I prefer to talk to my therapist over the phone, because it's easier to bare you soul without someone looking at you! Having the option is nice.

Korine is very kind and really listens when you speak. She doesn't judge and is very accepting and supportive. She is the best therapist I've worked with so far, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She is patient and knowledgable, and really listens to what my goals are and is supporting me with them. She is so easy to talk to as well.

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.
