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.

Samantha has helped me through many challenges for a few years now. I have every confidence in her expertise. She is caring, listens and shares her experience to help me navigate my own obstacles
Samantha Schwartz is easy to talk to, helps bring out different point of views with the current situation, like "that may be worse case scenario."
It’s like talking to a best friend that I don’t have to worry will judge me. Samantha is insightful, helpful, and our sessions never feel like “work” or an “appointment”. I feel heard, validated, guided and “lighter” after our conversations and genuinely look forward to them, which makes sticking to therapy all the more easy for someone like me- who typically flakes out on things. Absolutely love my time with Samantha !
Samantha is great and I feel like she gets me and knows me very well and continues to dig deep. Thank you for being you Samantha!!!
If you want the best of the best, choose Samantha. She has been an amazing therapist!
Shes amazing!
Very friendly and professional, sincerely wants to help. Looking forward to our sessions together.
I have done 8 sessions with Samantha so far, she is a great professional. Very knowledgeable and respectful. She is a great listener. And what I love about her is no judgmental reaction at all. I feel very comfortable to share anything with her. There is one point that I would like to explore more I would like to hear more tecnics to deal with the problem or resolve them eventually.
Samantha is amazing. She truly has helped me in ways other therapists havnt. She makes me feel so comfortable and she understands me so well. Shes honest which i appreciate as well. Will always rec her.
Samantha is the best therapist I have ever had…and I have had many. She is professional, highly affective and empathetic. I hit the jackpot with finding her on Betterhelp.
When I began my journey with my therapist I was a total mess. I felt like no one could help me. Until I went on this website got matched with Samantha Schwartz and I've stuck with her ever since. She helped me work through my depression,anxiety,self confidence and helped me understand that life can be a lot but it is just how we manage it that we start to think hey maybe there is something wonderful here. She has been great. Thank you Samantha for all that you are doing for me. I've seen myself grow into a much better person than when I first met you. I really really do appreciate it so much. ♡♡♡♡♡♡
i have only had two sessions with Samantha and i already see so much progress. She understands me and is honest with me which was one of the most important things for me. she gets me and understands clearly what im trying to get across. i feel heard and understood. she reassures me and gives me hope on healing and that its a process and to be patient. i feel like i can share anything with her. she is not judgmental and is very open. i feel like im talking to a friend. i love that it feels like we are having a conversation as opposed to a therapist-client situation. feels very normal.
Samantha is very kind and patient but also has no problem be direct to me, which is what I need and asked for. I feel very comfortable to discuss uncomfortable topics. I enjoy working with her.
I’ve been enjoying venting about the things that make me anxious, discussing some solutions, and digging deeper into what may have caused all my anxiety in the first place.
She is an expert in what she does. I have had a lot of therapist in BetterHelp. Out of 6 therapist she was the only one able to help me make a breakthrough.
Amazing.
Very casual, more conversational in style, this is great for me as it allows to let my guard down and speak more honestly.
Samantha is wonderful and has been very helpful. She really listens and offers suggestions that help me work through my many life challenges.
I cannot say enough good things about Samantha. I always feel better after talking with her - I never feel unheard, I never feel like there’s a miscommunication… I always feel respected and like I’m not broken, just needing some help and guidance.
She’s the best and she’s mine!!
Samantha is a wonderful therapist. She offers a non judgmental listening ear as well as helpful insight. She’s skilled at pointing out patterns of thought and behavior that I hadn’t been able to recognize myself. I’ve greatly appreciated my time with her.
Very understanding and extremely helpful when it come to any questions I may have.
Samantha is a great listener and a great advice-giver. She has helped me look at my situations in a different light and given me food for thought. I always come out of my sessions feeling better and like I have the tools and information I need to work through whatever has been bothering me.
I really love how kind and understanding my therapist is. They make me feel more confident at the end of my sessions. I also feel very comfortable speaking with them on certain issues. I usually get super excited when I have a session.
Samantha has been extremely helpful in this process with helping develop better tools with communication and how to handle tough situations daily.
I came into therapy just feeling… off. I don’t think I had a set goal or expectation… regardless, Samantha helps me with whatever I am dealing with and has even helped me define some goals.
Samantha helps in identifying things and guiding me to solutions that deal with my Anxiety

Samantha is great. You can tell she has ample knowledge on mental health care. She helps me work through any problem and she always brings a new perspective to the table.
I feel she listens without judgment
Samantha is wonderful!! This is my first time doing therapy and I was nervous. She made it so easy to open up and she listens and understands. Truly the kindest person too!
Made a great connection with my therapist, Samantha. She understands, listens and is empathetic. Always makes herself available to me. Highly recommend !
Samantha is amazing! She listens and provides valuable tools for coping and thinking through situations. She makes you comfortable to talk to. Her expertise and experience really shows in every session. Highly recommend!!
Samantha Schwartz is incredible. We talked about a large range of things and worked weekly to reach my goals. It was really important to me during the pandemic to have someone to listen and offer me guidance and Samantha was exactly the professional response I needed.
Samantha is kind and encouraging. She helps me understand and process parts of my life that seem very complicated. With her help I, often see how simple they are. Best of all she gives me tools to help me work through those things, so I can interrupt my own destructive cycles. I am so thankful for her.
Very understanding and open to talk about self diagnosis research done by patient. Very experienced.
Samantha is great! We instantly felt like old friends.
She’s amazing! highly recommend.
She’s amazing never thought of seeking therapy but it was the best decision
Very nice therapist, knowledgeable and respectful
I’ve had several therapists in my life, but Samantha is the one I have the most confidence in and feel the most comfortable with. She engages me with the feedback I’ve so desperately needed all these years. Highly recommend her.
This is my first time in therapy and Samatha makes it comfortable for me.
Has helped me develop into a better version of me.
Samantha has only been helping me for a few weeks, but I don't know how I would be able to manage so much without her help. She listens to me but she also responds with advice that isn't pointless where you would normally roll your eyes if someone else said it. She is genuine with her words and gentle with every approach. She asks questions and makes me feel listened. She has become a huge support system during a tragically eventful season.
