About online counseling

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.

She's fantastic!
Rachel is great. Seems to always have a problem with video chats. It cuts out an freezing up
Rachel Black is the absolute best counselor I think I've ever had in my life , and this is my first time talking with a counselor online. Even tho I've always felt like younger therapists understand me better , I feel like she ALWAYS gives me good, helpful advice. This is the first time in over 12 years of therapy that I ALWAYS feel relieved and less worried after a session. I am extremely satisfied with BetterHelp and the counselor I was assigned.
Rachel has been great. I saw the ads and wanted the freedom to confide with someone wherever I was. I was connected with Rachel based on my answers and couldn't be happier. She has helped and continues to help me find what is really important to me and provides honest, non-judgmental feedback. I really look forward to speaking and writing to her.
Our sessions bring me the sense of hope that not everything is lost in the world
She is incredible, thoughtful and versitile. I couldn't see myself working with anyone else
She's really nice. She's genuinely thoughtful, and tries her best to help. She doesn't make you feel bad, but kind of like you were silly to think anything bad about yourself in the first place. Shes just a really nice lady.
She is amazing. Very easy to talk to. Has a lot of insight and knowledge to help you through anything. ❤️
She is very compassionate and knowledgeable I am comfortable talking to her
