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.

Christoper Branch was the therapist I needed when I needed one the most. I had severe relationship issues and they were effecting my health, work and family relationships. It’s the hardest time I have experienced, and I put a lot of blame on myself. Christopher helped me navigate and reason with my self. He helped me avoid my negative tendencies, and see where I tried the best I could. I’m forever grateful.

He’s someone I can rely upon to be honest with me even when it hurts sometimes but it’s allowed me to receive the best help and keep me level headed during certain situations. I don’t feel alone when I’m talking to him. As if he’s along side me while I’m going through life changes or when my minds not in the right place. He’s really a great person and someone I’m glad to be my therapist

Reviewed September 2023

Christopher is just a good guy. He's easy to connect with, I don't feel like I'm judged even when making decisions that might not be for me. It's more of a discussion on the thought process that brought me to those choices. I really appreciate that it feels like I'm talking to just another understanding human and not someone who is just paid to listen. I truly feel like he has my best interests at heart and it feels good to know that someone does, even if it's not myself. Having someone to discuss things with has been monumental helpful for what I am going through and I deeply respect and appreciate the time he takes to allow me to vent or process along side him.

Reviewed July 2023

Mr. Branch is the first Mental Health Professional that gave me actionable advice I could use to help better myself and my thought process. I think that is invaluable when someone is seeking help to better themselves through BetterHelp. Mr. Branch is does not speak formally and I think that makes him more relatable as opposed to different mental help professionals. I like that he gives you homework to work on for yourself that helps you dig into your own life to see when you can and/or should make adjustments. I would definitely recommend BetterHelp to other who need and ask for help. Then, I would specifically recommend Christopher Branch because of the way that he works and communicates.
