I have greatly appreciated having Maria as my therapist. Initially I didn't plan to continue using BetterHelp for very long, but enjoyed my sessions with her so much that I have no plans to stop now. It is always fun to catch up with her each week, more like a friend than a therapist, and I feel I have received great benefits from her expertise. I definitely have been able to meet my personal goals for therapy and use what we work on in our sessions to better my every day life.

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.

Maria is my first ever therapist. Im 27 years old & always second guessed going to therapy. But Maria has shown me that therapy can really help. She’s helped shift my mindset in a positive direction. She shares good habits to practice.
Extremely personable and a joy to have on my mental health journey! I felt supported and love her communication style.
