While I was hesitant in the beginning about this app, I am now very happy with my choice. Janice is very professional, kind, supportive and respectful. She has responded to my messages of concern and sent great material to check so that I can work on some things independently. I am very grateful for this and happy with the action I took to help myself out.

Reviewed March 2024

I am going through many changes in my life at once. I am uncomfortable with many of them, having conflicting thoughts and many uncertainties. Having a calm and thoughtful therapist like Janice makes me slow down, reflect and put things in perspective that I didn't manage to do myself, even though I thought of topics for countless hours and sleepless nights. It feels as if I breathe more easily after our sessions.

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.

Great therapy sessions where I feel listened to and can talk my issues out.

Reviewed February 2023

Janice helped me during a depression / grieving phase and recommended me books to read. She also helped me to look at totally unknown sides / aspects of myself I had never looked at with previous therapists. Janice is very quick to reply on chats outside of therapy for issues, and very accommodating in case rescheduling is necessary. She also recommended worksheets to deal with specific topics. Thank you very much for your valuable help Janice.

Janice has been amazing at helping me get through some recent anxieties and low mood. She's really nice to talk to and very knowledgeable

Reviewed November 2022

I really enjoyed working with Janice. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning, encouraging me to talk freely. She was able to guide me in my reflexions so that I can identify the problems by myself, and provided me great tools to work on them. I felt really empowered week after week and quickly saw the results of my work. After a few month I feel now confident to continue the work by myself, taking with me all the great tools and techniques I learned with Janice. I highly recommend her!

I met Janice at a time where I was really struggling with dealing with everything after a breakup. She listened to everything I had to say and was there for me and helped me immensely into getting into a much more positive situation. I would recommend Janice to anyone and I am so glad to have met her. If it wasn’t for the help from Janice and BetterHelp I would still be as low as I was and am thankful for everything.

I had 4 sessions with Janice during the summer of 2022 and she helped me enormously through a very difficult patch. She has a gentle yet straightforward style where she is able to listen keenly whilst also supporting and encouraging you in your efforts alongside pushing you towards thinking about your experiences more deeply or suggesting alternative ways to look at, think about or approach situations that you are going through. Thank you Janice for your help

I was able to make a great progress for my mental health and I would recommend sessions with Janice to anyone who wants to change. She always listened to me, guided me and came with ideas and techniques which would help me. Thank you so much.
