Finding the right counseling services often means finding the best therapeutic practice for your mental health challenge, as well as one that is personally satisfying. What you need may not always be nearby, even in a metropolitan area.
With online therapy through an online therapy platform like BetterHelp, you get access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in everything from healing family conflict to managing behavioral issues. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched to a therapist that meets your individual needs.

Online therapy may also be a solution for people who may not be able to get to in-person therapy appointments. Professionals with busy lives and packed schedules may benefit from attending sessions online. Counseled students too can find time between study and classes to speak to their online therapist. And for individuals who are struggling to overcome the effects of trauma, limiting what they can handle as far as attending in-person sessions, a video chat or phone call can be the difference between getting therapy or avoiding it altogether.
