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.

Reviewed May 2024

Maria is an excellent counselor. Her breadth of knowledge and kindness have been so helpful to my healing journey. I was very apprehensive about getting therapy for the trauma I experienced, and I really did not look forward to getting therapy in the first place. However, I was quickly able to open up to Maria about all that I was dealing with, and she empowered me, encouraged me, and even helped me to see the areas where I was holding myself back from getting the help that I needed. I am so thankful to have Maria in my life, and I am so much more capable of handling everything I sought therapy for because of the work we have done together.

She have me goals that helped me feel less overwhelmed. She also had great tips for helping me pass the exam that worked way better than the exam courses I had taken in preparation for the exam.

Maria was such a integral part in really delving into some childhood trauma that I shoved away for 20 years. Her guidance, homework, and compassion helped me understand forgiveness and understand what it truly means to take my life back and to not be afraid to let others know what I want and deserve. I feel so much better in myself, and I would not have gotten to this point if she was not there to support me.

Reviewed February 2023

I have worked with Maria for the past six months, and I just "graduated." I initially sought therapy for anxiety, and eventually depression as well, and Maria truly helped me grow so much. She helped me have confidence to know what the root of my anxiety was, she gave me practical tools to deal with and overcome the symptoms, and she encouraged and supported me along the way. I would recommend her to anyone. My close friends and family who knew how much I was struggling have told me they have seen my growth as well. I know that I am so much better off, and I am confident that I have the tools necessary to continue to be the better version of myself thanks to her.

Reviewed January 2023

I've seen other therapists before (outside and within BetterHelp), but Maria will always stand out as the best counselor I've ever had. Her perception of knowing when to let me talk things out and when to offer solutions was invaluable. She assigned insightful homework that kept me thinking throughout the week. When I could feel myself pushing back against her advice- because of course it's sometimes more comfortable to stay stuck- things would pretty much always unfold in a way where I would immediately think "Maria was right". This happened so many times over the almost year I saw her and I will be forever grateful for her expertise.
