Hello, my name is Joseph De Vico. Let’s talk.

We’ll work together until that unsolvable problem is history, until that overwhelming pain is bearable, until the dream future that seems a million miles away is right in front of you.

You’ve always been strong, resourceful, and intuitive. I’m just going to help clear away the junk you’re trapped beneath so you can actually feel that way: false beliefs that make life seem harder than it really is; stories about yourself that are so outdated, they have nothing to do with who you are now; distractions that keep you from deciding what is most meaningful to you; power imbalances that take away good things that are rightfully yours. This stuff has to go.

What will you feel when you feel better?

Peaceful? Hopeful? Whole? Decisive? Free?

Seen, validated, grounded, elevated, invigorated, triumphant?

Just plain better?

When do we start?

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.

I am so grateful to have been paired with Joseph. I don’t know exactly how the system found such a good match for me, but Joseph effortlessly developed a strong rapport with me over video therapy and has been successfully helping me meet my emotional and overall well-being goals. He has made it clear that my goals are the priority and routinely checks in to make sure I’m getting what I need out of our sessions. He is professional, compassionate, and clear-eyed. It has been a privilege to work with Joseph.

Fantastic listener and received some very helpful advice and questions to check my own perspective. Thanks Joe.

Really down to earth dude. Easy to talk to and despite finding myself hesitant to sharing either embarrassing, nonsensical or relatively mundane stuff, with essentially a stranger, he is able to squeeze meaning and value out of the conversation. He truly is the epitome of what to look for in a therapist- thoughtful, insightful, respectful, genuine and disarming in the best sense of the word. Thanks Joe.

Hands down, the best therapist ive had. First ive had my hesitantation bout a male figure guiding me through my trauma that has come from males but nevertheless, he gets it. He hears you. And his goal is the same as yours. Let this be your sign to take that leap and try just ONE session. You will not regret it. Promise. Thank you for changing my life, Joseph.

Joseph is a great listener and offers a relaxed environment. I was apprehensive about therapy after a poor previous experience. But Joseph really made me feel like I was being heard!

Joseph has been more than I could have ever expected for a therapist. Being my first time ever using BetterHelp, I had no idea what it would be like. Working with Joseph has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself in the last 6 months. Would highly recommend Joseph to anyone.
