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.

He’s a great help I wouldn’t be the better person I am without him
Dr. Nathaniel has been very understanding and patient; he’s brought me out of my rut and helped me find my self worth further. Although life is tough, a good listener makes it easier to trek.
Great listener and gives great tools
Really great man, I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the coping techniques and support he has provided me over the weeks.
Great person to talk to!
He’s great. A cool calm and collected voice with experience to share.
Clifford is great! Straight forward, compassionate and intelligent! I very much enjoy my sessions he has been incredibly helpful.
Was a wonderful person to talk to and help me open up
Clifford is a wonderful therapist. He listens deeply, allows me to explore my feelings while being able to connect dots I am not always able to. He's well versed in many types of psychology and has given me many tools to get through and grow. Thanks Clifford
At first I wast confident in the idea of therapy, but after speaking with Clifford I immediately felt at ease and could understand how this could help. He walks me through my negative thoughts and is very understanding. He provides solutions that work to my supirse!
Overall great at what he provides!! Im thankful!!
Clifford always listened, and makes sure he understands what you’re trying to say. Always has ways to work through issues and suggestions that help to handle things easier. He’s the first therapist that I’ve had confidence in.
It’s therapeutic to have somebody that looks like you but has a background in phycology
Clifford is a very good listener, he's also good at explaining things, and tries his best to make sure that I've understood the concepts and tools he's given me. I really appreciate his practical approach and simple language. Highly recommended.
Mr. Nathaniel is well studied and traveled, and a great listener and applicator! He has excellent suggestions and breakdowns of issues and perspectives. Very understanding and warm.
Just the absolute best at his craft bar none.
He is excellent at his craft and I’m most grateful to have him as my therapist! ( letting other people dictate my life & feelings ) I was other focused & falling into an abyss of dark depression; into emotionally self destructive behavior, but he listened to all my concerns & goals. Because of Clifford Nathaniel, I can now say that I see my light again! I feel strong again! Yellow is bright and blue makes me smile again. Am I done? NO, I hope to continue the work started with His help and am grateful to have access to Clifford Nathaniel via BetterHelp! Today I see the waves of the ocean which is life BUT I HAVE MY SURFBOARD OUT WAXED AND READY! By grace we are saved!
