Antonio is very demure and very mindful. He’s been my favorite therapist I’ve had on betterhelp and he understands me really well. He’s done a lot to make me feel at ease and comfortable with discussing difficult life circumstances. I always look forward to our conversations and trust in his expertise.

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.
