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

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.

Always a pleasure
Carol is a great human being, really professional and it is a pleasure to work with her. She has created the perfect environment for my needs and she is doing a great job with everything I require in order to reach my goals. Thank you Carol!
Carol is very caring and a good listener.
Carol has been such a support to me over the last week or so and I am pleased to carry on with my sessions with her. She has checked in to see how I’m getting on and I couldn’t be more grateful
First session has met all my expectations.
I started therapy back in September and I'm so grateful that I was matched with Carol. She's the most wonderful listener, I always feel heard and understood without ever being judged. Carol has really helped me see what the root causes are and has given me the confidence to implement changes in my daily life and how I approach my own thoughts. Through this process I've also discovered meditation and mindfulness, which has been game changing for my overall happiness and wellbeing particularly when coupled with our weekly sessions. I cannot thank you enough Carol - To anyone reading, if you're ever paired with this therapist you are in very safe hands!
I started my mental health journey a few months ago for the first time and after hearing about Better Help I decided to give it a try I was matched with Carol and I’m so happy I was. She is very attentive and gave me the room and space to speak my mind and gave me just the right guidance and direction. I feel better equipped to continue my mental health journey!! Thank Carol for everything!! I appreciate our sessions together more than ever
