About online counseling

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.

Debra has already helped me in many ways in just a few months, love her!
Debra listens and offers the support and guidance I need
Debra has been my therapist for the last few months. I feel like I am talking to a close friend who has sound advice when I speak to her. She is also very flexible and responsive when I send messages. I look forward to talking to her weekly as she brings comfort and calmness to my day.
Debra is excellent, efficient, funny, resourceful and helpful. Thanks for all you do!
I don’t have enough words for how great Debra is. Starting therapy was terrifying, but she has made it the most exciting, enjoyable, and life changing experience. 100000/10 recommend!!
I am so grateful to be working with Debra. She is open, personable, and authentic. I have felt comfortable and well cared for with her ever since our first session. Highly recommend!
Debra truly listens and gives her honest feedback. She feels more like a friend than a therapist, which is exactly what I needed.
I was looking forward to my 1st appt with Debra. Everything went great, i was comfortable sharing with her and she was very helpful to address my most pressing concerns and i was left with new perspective and calmness that carried throughout my day. I look forward to more appts.
Debra is an insightful and compassionate listener, who demonstrates a deep and authentic care for the goals and well-being of her clients.
It was so scary to reach out, and now I feel so safe.
She’s a peach. I’ve been working with her for three weeks and I’m thrilled. She’s kind, attentive, quirky, and very good at what she does. I didn’t think I’d like BetterHelp but I really do.
