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.

Pam has been of great comfort to me as I grieve the loss of my wife. In fact I returned to BetterHelp to seek her out a second time as I continue to struggle. She's... Kind, Patient, Insightful, Attentive, Respectful, Gracious, Empathetic, and completely Genuine. Talking with her is like enjoying the company of a life long friend.
So far she’s the best therapist I have ever had. I am feeling amazing about her and the app over all.
