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.

John is terrific. He listens. He offers feedback. He doesn't always agree with me. He tries to find new ways to relate to my situation.
John really helped me through a difficult time in a toxic work environment that almost sent me over the edge. With John’s expertise I was able to develop tools to help me cope with the difficult situation until I was able to get into a better place. He has helped me see relationships in a new light and helped me develop goals and set boundaries in my personal relationships. I recommend John as a great therapist.
John is a great listener and has been a huge help these last few months in one of the darkest times of my life. Can’t thank him enough.
John is great at listening, understanding, and gives great feedback. The goals he helps me set help me look forward to the future instead of dreading the uncontrollable. He helps me work through my past trauma and ongoing events with a lens of optimism that I really need. Highly recommend.
John is a wonderful person to talk to. He listens to what I have to say, and follows the ideas I have to help me see them through all the way. He helps me see the value in myself, by giving me a path to find that value on my own two feet, so to speak.
John is great and I am appreciate to have him to talk to. I felt like I was making progress after the first session.
John has been so supportive over the last months we've worked together. There's never a time I question his expertise or advice, and I feel comfortable confiding my thoughts and insecurities with him. He's been very helpful with my mental health and wellbeing.
Really enjoyed and benefited my therapy sessions with John I hope to continue staying with him as my therapist
John is a very kind and understanding therapist. When life threw unexpected trials my way he helped me see them clearly and gave me ways to approach them rationally.
I trust john Doleski with my llfe. When I speak , he doesn't just listen, he gives feedback that goes straight to my soul. When I speak with him, I know he has my best interests at heart, and wants to see me living my best life to the max. I feel safe with him, seen, and heard. I thank DADDY JESUS for blessing me to meet John and make him my therapist. I am truly grateful for him.
John provided prompt and helpful outreach!
I have tried betterhelp in the past, but never really connected with anyone or felt like I was making progress — until I matched with John. Over the last 6 months, John has helped identify areas of growth that I couldn’t even recognize, and has given me simple yet effective solutions for improving my mental health. I’m incredibly grateful to have gotten to know John, and for his help in growing into a better version of myself.
John has been and is an outstanding counselor thus far and I look forward to continuing to work with him. I had to reschedule my appt. from today to his next available due to a work conflict on my end. Thank you.
Good listener. Doesn’t impose. Easy to talk to.
John has been fantastic and I am enjoying my sessions with him
I’ve been seeing John for a few months now and he has been incredibly helpful and insightful. He is supportive and non-judgemental. He has provided me numerous worksheets to work on in between sessions that have been very helpful to work on towards my goals. I’ve already recommended this app to numerous friends and family members and would absolutely recommend for anyone who is considering counseling. I think EVERYONE can benefit from professional help regardless of what life things they are going thru and dealing with. John was the second counselor I was matched with after my first had not been very responsive and I am extremely grateful for him and how he has helped me thus far!
John is friendly, compassionate and respectful. He is very professional, yet relatable and treats clients like unique individuals.
He seems to care about the issues that I am experiencing. That makes me feel more comfortable in sharing with him.
Absolutely wonderful. John helped me in a crucial time of need. Every session of treatment was like a breath of fresh air for me with him. Thank you
I cannot day enough great things about John. I’ve had 4 sessions with him, and just being able to talk to him about things lowers my stress and anxiety so much. John has given so many wonderful suggestions on how I can improve my own image of myself, move on from a tough breakup during these COVID times, and really asking helping me work towards becoming even a better version of me. Highly recommend him as a therapist. Been a life changing, incredible experience so far and I don’t know where I’d be without his help, other than likely still worse off.
John is very patient and loving and caring and supportive. Gives great techniques and advise.
John is great.makes me feel I can successfully attain my goals.
John is kind. He is a good listener. He's very understanding and offers an empathetic ear.
