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.

Having gone through one of the most difficult periods of my life, losing my husband and becoming a caretaker for my mother, I joined BetterHelp to deal with grief and guilt. Darla guided me to such a better place, and I looked forward to each session. I still use gratitude journaling every day to keep track of all great and good things that are most definitely present in my life. I'm truly grateful for her help.

I LOVE Darla! She’s my 3rd ever therapist & 2nd from BetterHelp & SHE IS THE ONE! She listened to me so intentionally the first session that she knew exactly how to approach me in our sessions! She makes me feel seen & heard & I know she truly cares about me. It doesn’t feel like she is just doing her job, I feel cared for which is exactly what I wanted in my therapist. She is awesome & I would recommend her to anyone!
