Recent reviews

I felt that Lou really listened to me. Her questioning would often get me to the inside nub or depth of a topic or problem so that I could reflect on it and work out constructive ways to help overcome what was bothering me. Of course, I felt supported and taken seriously.

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.

Lou demonstrates empathy and clearly understands what I'm going through. She is quick to respond with helpful suggestions that may help me. I've only been in therapy for a short while but feel I've known her a lot longer. She is one of the best therapists I've come across.

I think that finding Lou as a therapist made the whole difference for me regarding the positive experience that I have with Better Help. Lou is a very good listener and she is also very good at asking the right questions that will lead you to see things from a different perspective. I still have a lot to work on and I trust that Lou is the right therapist for me to guide me through this process.

Lou has been great. She’s kind and respectful and has really helped me navigate the challenges I’ve faced and explore more about myself.

I have been seeing Louise for a couple of months now. And I feel that I have already made such excellent progress. Louise is caring, professional and an excellent therapist.

Reviewed April 2023

She is your dream therapist, neutral, always listening, asking questions to make you figure yourself out, and giving inspiration when you are stuck. She has a very Eastern vibe as well. She is neutral, intelligent, and caring. In the half year, I spent with her, I made huge progress in my personality development, the integration of my past, and some improvement in my boundary settings. I am a lot happier. We are not here to find salvation, we are here to get the affirmation and courage that we will build the life we long for by ourselves.

Reviewed April 2023

Louise is the best listener, and she brings many years of experience to our sessions. She asks questions that help me consider my thoughts/feelings and is really engaged in every session. I feel I have made a lot of progress since working with Louise (even if only for a few weeks!) and I’m excited to maintain the relationship for the long run. Thank you Louise ❤️
