Rate Harold "Lanny" Monson

I love Lanny and am glad I found this service during a difficult time.

Harold was my therapist for a while when I was at a really low point with my confidence, he helped me understand myself in different ways I never even thought of and showed me ways to better myself and give myself the self confidence and self love I needed and helped me overcome my hyper-dependence on people

The expert upon experts. Teacher to teachers. Wise and helpful. Hard to find anyone more experienced.

He's steady and constant at being a caring friend and support. Am going to be pushing more though on having goals and assignments and I want more in-depth information on cause and methods for my problems beyond mindfulness because I feel we both get off track I go into a tangent about the same old thing that's stuck in my head and we end up have a friendly chat or vent instead of him helping me learn not to do that and working more directly on stuff I need to get done and he always recommends the same stuff. I think I need a little more variety and help staying on track.

Very Patient and Open-Minded

Having worked with Lanny weekly for a year, I can honestly say he is one of the best therapists I have ever had. He has the ability to identify what strategies for conversation work best for someone and tailor sessions accordingly. For example, upon recognizing I respond well to logic and science, Lanny explained concepts in a way that I really understood. He also went out of his way to provide a wealth of guidance via messaging in between our sessions. Even though I never got around to responding, these little motivational messages always seemed to help get me through tough times. I came into therapy not really knowing what to tackle, just that I did not feel good, and have since seen my mental health improve drastically and feel equipped with the "power within" to better handle whatever life brings. I am forever grateful for Lanny's support!

Lanny has helped me through the hardest moments of my life, and has shown me how to balance my emotions and rational thoughts in ways I never even thought of in my years of prior therapy. I've felt more liberated from my insecurities and emotions and other's opinions of me in the months we've worked together than any time before in my life. If you want someone that will always have your back and communicate with you in a way you can hear what you need to hear, Lanny is the therapist for you.

Lanny is the best therapist I have ever had. I can be completely open and honest, and almost anything that I've been through or want to talk about he has had experience with and can really give me detailed advice. If he doesn't, he'll do research and come back to the next session with new ideas and knowledge. He is fantastic at staying neutral and giving an unbiased point of view, but without making it seem like he is disinterested or uninvested in you and your progress. I'm very grateful that I was matched with him, and know that I have a safe place I can go to say whatever I need to say. He is a wonderful man, and a fantastic therapist.

Harold is extremely good at what he does. He has helped me considerably on several topics. I can't recommend him highly enough.

If I’m being honest I didn’t expect to like Better Help this much. I’m especially surprised with how well they matched me with a counselor. When I read my counselor’s introduction and then met for our first session It fell comforting to know they were ready to provide support. I don’t plan on leaving better help any time soon.

A kind soul. He really wants to help me. He is there for you.

He is great. He is a great listener and very attentive to my needs. I can tell that he genuinely cares about me and wants to help me get into a better spot and cope with my last issues. I am grateful for the time we have been talking he is great!

Mr. Monson is a great counselor and really cares about his clients.

I look forward to talking to Lanny every week and always wish we had time to continue the conversation. I value his experience - both as a therapist and simply his life experience that he often draws on to provide examples that are very helpful. Before Lanny, I tried other therapists but always dreaded it and never left with the same feeling of perspective that I get from Lanny. I feel so fortunate to have been connected with him!
