I absolutely love my therapist. I have zero complaints about her. What I don’t like about BetterHelp is, that I have to have a therapy session EVERY week. It isn’t always necessary.

I’ve been seeing Carla Frankoviglia-Gilfry since last year, and she has truly helped me navigate some of the most life-changing challenges I’ve faced from grief therapy to marriage insights. As a domestic violence survivor and current victim she’s never judged nor make assumptions and is always very caring and sympathetic towards my situation. Even after an 8-month break from therapy, when I was ready to resume, she picked up right where we left off—no judgment, no hesitation, just support. Her ability to create a safe, grounded space is unmatched, and I’m so grateful for the clarity and growth I’ve experienced with her guidance. She’s a keeper!!

Carla is my second therapist through better help and has been a perfect match! She hears your story through and decides what to tackle first! Very strategic and just what I needed! She always recommended things to read outside of session and activities to do that were geared toward goals, it’s nice to have someone open your horizons and make you a better person! As well as prioritizing well being and progress.

Carla is professional and thoughtful in her job. She makes me feel listened to, supported for anything wild or not I say, and overall makes me feel good while keeping me in check. She takes the extra minute to stay and listen to make sure I say everything I need. I really appreciate her and feel a great energy connection with her. She feels safe!
