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.

Extremely helpful, Godly, very nice man. Very knowledgeable and understanding.
Really nice guy, listens to you and try’s to get to understand your problems. I would personally recommend him
Very kind and easy to talk to. He talks just enough and is very biblical which is what I’m looking for in a therapist.
I appreciate David immensely. He is insightful and gentle in his manner, but not afraid to get straight to the point with me. He calls me out on my crap!
In only 2 sessions he’s attacked some things (positive attack) in areas I never thought would be addressed. Professional and calm. Definitely love the expertise. Great guy.
Excellent therapist would recommend to anyone on his expertise.
Overall after my first session I feel confident that David has helped me get a good start with therapy.
He's great
David has been integral in my understanding of the difficulties I’ve been facing. Getting through the absolute most difficult time of my life this year, I was failing to manage my emotions on my own but with David’s help I feel optimistic for the future and have grown stronger with him as my therapist. Our sessions are based in faith and he does a great job keeping scripture close by to reference to help me overcome the challenges laid before me. This is my only experience with therapy and am so thankful the BetterHelp team took the time to analyze my case and pair me with David, no doubt he was my best option!
Great
David is someone you can confide in for your most personal problems. He genuinely is someone that you want to talk to and he’s given me amazing strategies to deal with my anxiety. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate that David is my therapist.
Dave listened to my concerns and was able to provide positive and helpful advice during my sessions. Dave was non-judge mental and was very knowledgeable with the concerns I brought to him.
David is easy to open up to, supportive, and offers valuable insights. I've left each session feeling heard, understood and equipped to face life's challenges. I would recommend David without hesitation.
David is amazing, very professional & intuitive. He’s been a great help To me.
So far I have only had one session with him and I absolutely agree with his qualifications on how everything I’ve gone through is.
