I was very reluctant to get a therapist as I come from that "tough" world of international marketing and it felt "weak" to do this. However, the experience with Betterhelp and Dr. Brennan specifically put me at ease and showed me that I made the right decision.

It has been an amazing time to me
Written on Feb 04, 2025 after therapy with Caroline for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, lgbt, and relationship issues
I've had the pleasure of working with Caroline for four sessions now, and I can honestly say it's been a transformative experience so far, which says a lot for only being a month. From the very first video session, I felt comfortable with Caroline's warm and non-judgmental demeanor. She listens actively and makes me feel truly heard and respected.
What I appreciate most about Caroline's approach is that she offers practical, attainable advice. You never feel like she offers guidance thats out of reach or cookie cutter; I feel like her advice is both achievable and effective, helping me take steps in the right direction.
I want to add that finding Caroline has been especially meaningful for me, as I had a previous experience with another therapist (not on BetterHelp) who left a sour taste in my mouth, making me skeptical about trying therapy again. But Caroline has completely changed that for me. Her empathy, expertise, and genuine care have are noticeable and for me, key components to a great therapist.
I feel grateful having Caroline in my corner, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, insightful, and results-driven therapist. She's been a game-changer in my healing journey, and I'm excited to see the continued growth and progress that I feel is possible with her help.

Caroline is AMAZING! She listens without judgement and then helps me to talk through problems and works with me to figure out solutions. She isn’t just a therapist telling me what to do, which is what I was seeking to get away from in therapy. She talks with me and not to me.

I have now been in therapy with Caroline for about two years and as somebody who has jumped between several therapists, Caroline has been super helpful to me. Her kind ways of helping me understand issues and also suggestions into how to get better are very beneficial. I honestly think I’ll stick to Caroline for lifetime because it’s hard to find a therapist who is this kind and aware about your issues and life. She is also very prompt is responding to text messages and never fails to show up for a session. The kind of attention that Caroline pays to me as a client shows care and concern just like a friend. Absolutely lovely person and an even better therapist :) 10/10 recommended.

Caroline is one of the if not the best Mental health, counselor and therapist that I’ve ever had. That says a lot too, because I have been through a lot of therapist in my life, and I couldn’t be happier that I found her.

Caroline Brennan is an amazing therapist. She has excellent professional expertise but also the life experience that makes her not just smart and expert, but also wise. In two short sessions she knew what to do and had sent me superb resources that pinpointed the problems fast. Our third session is tomorrow and for the first time in twenty years I feel hopeful that things can change for the better. She has given me a new way into solving these decades-long problems, and to break the unhealthy and unproductive patterns with my adult daughter. Really top-flight help. My highest respect and recommendation for Caroline Brennan.

I come from a deeply entrenched and devoutly religious background, where the beliefs and practices have shaped the core of my being. In addition, I identify as a lesbian, which adds another layer of complexity to my personal journey and experiences. Struggling to reconcile these two seemingly conflicting aspects of my identity has often left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. However, amidst this internal turmoil, I have been incredibly fortunate to have found an exceptional therapist; Caroline who has been an unwavering source of support and understanding. Despite her own background and upbringing, she has undertaken the admirable task of delving into the intricate workings of my culture and religion in order to gain insights and a deeper understanding, solely to ensure that I feel heard, validated, and ultimately, better somehow. After just four transformative sessions, I became convinced that she would be my ultimate therapeutic ally. The depth of her compassion and unwavering support was unparalleled, guiding me towards ingenious strategies for navigating life's challenges.
