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.

I have been communicating with David and so far it has greatly helped my overall mindset, and I would say my trajectory for the future. I have tried using school counselors or various other sources online to self therapize, but David's unique experiences and teachings have really made the best impact for creating an understanding in myself for how to go about my situation. I would hands down recommend David to anyone that I know, and I am grateful for our sessions that we have had so far.

I have had numerous therapists over the last 15 years. Even though I have only had one appointment with David Gibbs, It is extremely clear that he listens intently to what I am saying and not only offers an objective opinion, he does it in an empathetic manner that doesn't make you feel judged or out of place like a lot of therapists do. I am looking forward to working with him moving forward, especially because he explains things in a science-based manner that is factual and makes complete sense. I've never had a therapist that has the qualities most people would want. He's open, honest, objective, and again, even though it was only one appointment, he gave me actual work I could do to start moving forward immediately. I'm very appreciative and happy I found him.

David has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through my inner child work and shadow work so far. Even though we have really only just gotten started I already feel that he has helped me tremendously. He is very charismatic which I appreciate very much, and he is really helping to give me the confidence I was lacking to make these changes in my life. He reminds me every time we have a session that he is always available to me via chat message in between our sessions should I need him and ensures me he is always happy to hear from me. I think Better Help definitely did a great job matching him to me and I’m very glad they did. I look forward to our sessions each week and I love that he gives me “homework” or suggestions of things to look into and try before the next time we talk. He is very knowledgeable and uses fun and familiar examples as tools when talking about things. I can tell that he is very deeply passionate about his work and genuinely wants to see me succeed. I feel very comfortable working with him and I look forward to continuing my healing journey with him as my ally!
