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.

Great person to talk to, makes you comfortable discussing problems and provides effective resolutions. Highly recommend
Susan is very helpful, she's helped me keep my mind grounded in some trying times. Very grateful for her knowledge and encouraging words!
Susan brought out so many uncertainties in me that I never knew existed in such a short period of time. If Betterhelp took my insurance I would stay with her indefinitely. I highly recommend Susan for any struggles someone may be having in life.
Susan has been very engaging, lively, understanding and positive. Each time we have a visit scheduled Iook forward to being able to share how I'm coping and managing and also hear her suggestions for bettering myself and her encouragement regarding my progress. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Susan!
Very good so far
