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.

Fathful canceling is good
Ida is a peace filled lady who I imagine practices what she teaches. She is warm and comforting yet doesn’t hold back what I need to hear. I’ve had two sessions and I’m already changing some of my behaviors that have kept me stuck. I would highly recommend her!
Very thankful to have been able to find ida, she’s a warm and wonderful human and a caring and thoughtful therapist. She has helped me come to realizations and talk through things I needed another perspective on. She always points out things I may have missed or need to hear. I couldn’t recommend her enough :)

Ida Terry has had a huge impact on my way of thinking, she has been able to teach me ways to keep calm and reflect in situations where I normally become very emotional. I highly recommend her to everyone. She's always able to put a smile on my face and to open my heart to the healing I deserve.
Ida was great...
Ida is a wonderful therapist. Not only is she professional and highly competent, but she is also a great listener and always seems to know just what to say. Ida has shown me many helpful techniques to deal with my anxiety, face any obstacles that come my way and plan for a better, healthier future. In short, she has helped (and is still helping) me to grow as a person and to align my actions with my values, for which I am truly grateful.
Ida was kind and open and made me feel at ease.
Ida has been extremely helpful. Her listening, communication skills have all helped get me going in the right direction. Only positive things to say about BetterHelp and my experience with Ida. She has been great at session to session improvements and has me started feeling better which I didn’t think would happen. Definitely worth it if you are questioning it. Especially if your lucky enough to get Ida
Thank you Ida. You are the best listener.
Ida is so caring and great to work out issues with. She does just the right amount of probing and has help me unpack the why you my actions. Additionally she checks in during the week with insightful suggestions so that you continue your therapy journey beyond the session.
Words can't express how appreciative I am of Ida. I come to therapy sometimes feeling so heavy with grief and I leave feeling like I can get through another day.
Ms. Terry is very insightful and offers advise that is very helpful. She’s a wise lady and a good listener has much to gain.
Ida has a natural ability to listen and offers sound and intuitive advice. Her ability to communicate is effective and I am thankful to have met her. Thank you Ida!
Ida really help me realize the real issues with the way I am feeling.
Ida is an incredibly approachable and respectful counselor. She feels like someone you can really be vulnerable with but she won’t baby you. She will provide you with different perspectives you can use to look at your current situation in a different light that can be really enlightening.
I feel very heard and supported. I am feeling much better already in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for Ida's help, availability and precious support.
She is an excellent at her job.
