Annie has helped me a lot with reflecting on things and pushes me to not be afraid of taking the initiative to bring myself happiness. She's very optimistic and It helps me stay optimistic as well.

Reviewed June 2018

Dr. Milam is easily the best therapist I've ever had. She is very accomodating to my individual needs and has provided me with amazing tools to cope with my mental illnesses and abuse-related trauma. She genuinely listens to what I say and talks to me like a human being rather than a medical subject, while still maintaining an air of professionalism. I've worked with many other therapists both on BetterHelp and in real life, and I always come back to her. I highly recommend Annie Milam, especially if you prefer messaging at your own pace to constant scheduled sessions like I do.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Annie has been really great to work with. She's responsive and gentle. I appreciate that she gave me a worksheet to list the things I wanted to work on with her and that she frequently checks in on how the progress on these are going. She's given me several Ah-ha moments and shed light into reason why I do things, things that never occurred to me before which is exactly why I started counseling in the first place. I would definitely recommend her for the type A person.

Including Annie, I've talked with about 4 counselors/therapist over the course of 7 years. My first therapist, one at my college I had, was one I appreciated and loved how kind and understand she was. She never pushed me to talk faster than the pace I was comfortable with. I never thought I could find another person that was as awesome as she was. Annie reminds me almost spot on of my first therapist. She gives me homework to do to reflect on things I had no idea were things that were going on in my head. She has helped me understand my thoughts, feelings and let me know that it is a process and I love the honesty in her work. I know that I can trust her and her process and I am excited to keep speaking with Annie and getting closer to truly understanding my past and present even more. I am so thankful and appreciative for Annie's help.

She is an excellent. So many times, a person has more than one issue contributing to their problems, that it is helpful for a therapist to essentially dissect the problem, and start with the most pressing issue that could make a significant change in the quality of the person's life. Ms. Milam does that and sends homework. She has been very effective. I really like her, and certainly would recommend her to anyone. For example, she is helping me with a long standing behavior that was causing me to fail at my attempts to lose weight. I am making the change and on the right track. I know with just that one change I will reach my goal. She's an excellent therapist.

She has provided me with resources material and guidance that I have been lacking in my life to not only be a better person but to grow.
