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.

Very helpful
I am enjoying my sessions with Amy. I feel like she really listens and is non judgemental, even supportive of my concerns.
It's a bit too soon to fully review my experience with BetterHelp and my therapist, but so far my experience has been positive. I feel very motivated to work on myself. Amy is very empathetic and compassionate, and thinks critically about what my thought processes might be in a certain situation. She gives me work sheets that are definitely a helpful addition to my mental health process, and she responds to my messages with useful thoughts/ tips, or just acknowledges what I'm feeling. Currently I feel better supported, less alone, and more motivated to put in the work I need to be more mentally resilient.
