About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Dr. Bachman has been a genuine, nurturing, and supportive voice of a friend in times of joy and pain.
Dr. Bachman has been a life saver. I made excuses not to do therapy most of my life and I am glad that when I finally gave in, I was able to connect with her. I hope I never loose her as she is an excellent listener and provides good perspective and point if view.
Dr. Bachmann is the best therapist I have ever talked to. I highly recommend her
I really really like my therapist and I've referred friends to Better Help too. Not sure what I would have done without the assistance of my therapist. She has supported me through a lot of life changes. Thank you so much!
Shes amazing. Like talking to an old friend, an old friend with the best insight & knowledge.

Dr. Bachmann is the best. She meets you where you are and provides just the right amount of suggestion while letting you get to the results yourself.
Dr Bachmann has been by far the best therapist I’ve dealt with. She cares about what she is doing and is dedicated on making you feel better. Highly recommended
In short, I don’t know what I would do without my therapist! She has helped me so very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I appreciate Dr. Bachmann’s follow up and genuine concern for my well being. The exercises she has suggested has helped and I look forward to continuing sessions with her.
I talked myself out of therapy for years. Why? Because “I can handle it” “I’m stronger than that” “It’s really not that bad” . Meeting Dr. Bachmann was the best thing that happened to me in 2022. They say its “all about timing “ and I agree. She is engaged, listens well, and brings perspective. Very happy I found her!
Dr. Ann has been super great! She Listens and guides you on the right direction.
Dr. Bachmann is amazing. Even during her own grief she continues to reach out and make sure I'm doing well. I'm very fortunate to have her.
It has been great so far and I have a feeling it will continue that way
I have really appreciated my time with Dr. Bachmann. She listens and offers support and feedback that fits my situation without judgement. I have always felt like she really cared about me and the issues I am trying to work through.
She listens and cares.
I decided to stop therapy in years past due to not finding the right therapist for me. When I came back, I was optimistic but nervous. Dr. Bachmann has met and exceeded all of my expectations. She is very kind and inviting while at the same time so intelligent and innovative. We discuss a complex list of life issues and she has been able to support me in all of them in numerous ways. I feel very comfortable working with her and can see results from our sessions, homework and practices I have put into place under her direction. I plan on continuing with therapy for a long time due to being paired with Dr. Bachmann. I would highly recommend her to friends, family, colleagues, you name it. She is a great person and a fantastic therapist.
Dr. Bachmann is a wonderful listener. Kind and compassionate and really cares for your wellbeing, checking in every few days to see how you're doing. I instantly felt a connection to her and am so thankful for her wisdom. Highly recommend!
