About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

First therapist I felt like I could open up to
DeAnna is great! Very understanding, great listener & patient. All around my experience has been very fulfilling
Best therapist I’ve ever had
DeAnna is an answered prayer. The way she’s able to listen in between the lines is extremely supportive of me. It’s also extremely helpful that she keeps track of past conversations and looks for patterns. I’ve recommended others to BetterHelp only because of my positive experience with DeAnnz.
My therapist is phenomenal. We are breaking through walls and I am feeling amazing about!
Responsive, empathetic, great listener
