About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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 amazing.
Love Ann! Not judge mental and completely open
Ann has really helped me unpack mentally and enabled me with coping skills through our sessions which really help in everyday life. Thank-you Ann sincerely.
A few weeks in and things are going great. Responsive and helpful.
Ann is the best fit for therapy I've had so far. I'd highly reccomend her.
Ann’s approach to therapy, of my experience, is both professional and laidback as if talking to a friend. She is a careful listener, understanding your point of view as if she can visualize it. I didn’t think twice about keeping her as my therapist— a friend who knows how to mend a broken heart and torn mind.
My therapist has been great. My only criticism about Betterhelp would be the payment structure. I wish there was a pay as you go option.
