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.

Reviewed January 2024

Ruthie has been a Godsend! From our first meeting, Ruthie has pointed to Christ, reminding me that I’m not alone through my healing and has prayed with me. Her gentle voice comforts me as she unfolds things I must deal with and guides me through the process! She is so sweet but tells me like it is! It’s like she’s an old friend I can trust and confide in! Everyone needs a Ruthie in their lives, I’m glad I found her through Better Help! Thank you Ruthie for your heart to serve and love for the broken!
