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.

I signed up for Better Help because my significant other needed to desperately. Little did I know how much I needed to talk with someone as well, and Diane has made an innumerable difference in my life since starting with her just over a month ago. She is an amazing grief counselor, helps me to believe in myself and balance my life with everything I want to do. Thank you for your wisdom Diane!

She’s great and helps me feel heard.
Diane is a good listener and very open minded and approachable. She helps to put my problems into context and provides emotional support. I saw a few other Betterhelp therapists before her and she was the best.
Diane is wonderful. Thoughtful, measured, responsive, and kind. She is the first ear I’ve had available to me that has made me feel heard. While I’ve only been interacting with her for a short time, I am already incredibly grateful for her presence and time. She has been nothing short of professional, compassionate, and human.
Diane has been a fantastic source of support!
