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.

Thanks Leslie. Always been there to help when I feel like I'm losing my mind. Thank you.
Leslie is easy to talk to and seems to genuinely care.
Two sessions in and I feel comfortable in opening up to Leslie. She has great resources to offer in addition to talk therapy.
Leslie and I are really just getting started, but she has already helped me through some difficult issues.
Leslie was amazing in helping me move forward from my struggles and showing me ways to help myself!
Leslie is the breath of fresh air every traumatized, jaded person like me needs! I have past experiences with therapists, some good, some awful. But right away I felt so safe and comfortable to unpack. My second session I felt I was holding my distance a bit, yet Leslie was patient and kind. Even complimented my kids and how cute they were when they interrupted us!!
Leslie makes me feel heard and understood. She is a great help when I need her.
Outstanding and real. I know it's short, but simple is the best way to approach a tough time. Corny but true
She is amazing, she takes time to get to know you, to actually listen to your problems. I feel 100% comfortable talking with her about everyhing.
She is great! Responds in a timely manner and truly cares about her patients.
Leslie has been super communicative, caring, and great at offering helpful solutions. She has made such a safe space and is continuously working on learning other techniques to help her clients. Overall just wonderful
Leslie is amazing! Feel very comfortable. She listens, helps me through my issues.
Good listening and provides good options for me to contemplate
This has been helping me so much! I have been referencing the videos that was suggested to me and given a understanding and the tools to handle stress when it happens, following that I get to talk to an amazing therapist who absolutely gets it. I’m really glad I got this!
Leslie is a lovely spirit and good listener. Love meeting her. As a queer person she is a great counselor.
Very understanding, non judgmental and empathetic. A highly emotionally sensitive therapist with concrete suggestions and ideas to work through issues. Leslie is so easy to talk to. A real gem!! Highly recommended!!!
I feel it’s still early, but I can say I feel supported. I feel encouraged. Leslie has shared some active techniques to handle emotional moments. I still have a ways to go, but grateful to have started therapy.
Leslie, listens and helps to guide you what type of therapy you need, allows you to reach out anytime outside therapy. Provides tools to start helping you right away. She is empathetic and also has a sense of humor that can make you see the lighter side of your situation.
Leslie has been wonderful! A therapist full of personality and care. Very knowledgeable in multiple facets of mental health. She’s just been a joy to talk to and her help has been immense already. I’m very thankful that I was paired up with Leslie.
Leslie has been great. I really appreciate the feedback and help I've received about our discussions. I was originally worried that I would have to talk about my childhood a lot but no. We talk about current situations that I've experienced and I'm definitely grateful for that.
Wonderful
Leslie has been kind and gentle. She points out when sharing, I come around to saying the truth. She checks on me between sessions.
Leslie is a joy to work with and very good at making me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings that i need to work through. It is incredible to see someone who has experience and expertise on both lgbt issues and trauma counseling available for me! I am very happy we got matched.
Leslie has given me work sheets in the better help app. She reads my journal entries. She is supportive and lets me drive the therapy but also brings her expertise to the conversation.
Leslie is more than I could have hoped for! One of my biggest concerns in starting therapy was that I wouldn’t jive with my therapist but I feel like she’s my perfect match! She hears me, understands me, is real, approachable, and provides tools to help keep me on track throughout the week. I can’t wait to continue working with Leslie and look forward to our sessions. Thanks better help!
