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.

I enjoy my meetings with candance! It helps me a lot. Sometimes its easier to just vent, and sometimes its not easy to have to think or deal with things that bother me, or are challenging for me. It can be hard work after meetings to really let go of the past! But I do really explore why Im feeling a certain way, and use what we talk about to have the best attitude moving forward.

I struck Gold with Candance. Sure, I did not request her when I first signed up with BetterHelp. I had avoided female therapist's for forty years due to a traumatic experience in 1981. But Candance listens!

I have attended sessions with Candance Gilchrist for life change events (divorce proceeding) of my life. The progress I've seen over such a short period of time is amazing.
