Kristi is a very good therapist. She listens, helps me reflect, and work through my thoughts. She is good at giving me ideas and advice. I enjoy creating “homework” with her after my sessions to help take steps towards making positive changes. She always checks in on me and it feels good to build a strong and trusting relationship with her. I highly recommend BetterHelp, but especially Kristi as a therapists. I always look forward to my time with her.

Kristi has been excellent at helping me through a lot of my issues involving anxiety and depression. She gives many techniques to improve anxiety, such as grounding techniques. I use these when I am about to have a panic attack, and they help. She is a great listener, and I feel safe discussing my feelings with her.

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.

Super friendly, always has great tips to help me.
Kristi is a very good therapist. She has helped me a lot in decision making by talking it thru.
I've only has a few conversations with Kristi, as I'm new to "BetterHelp", as well as therapy. But I am very pleased with her!
Kristi is wonderful! She hears me, and not just my words. She reads my face as we talk too. She is kind and compassionate. Plus she's super flexable with my crazy work schedule. I was worried I'd get matched with someone who didn't get me, but I ended up with a great one who totally does!
I am so grateful for Kristi. She helped me help myself through a very difficult time in my career and having her support helped me meet my goals and helped me see the bigger picture, something that’s difficult for me when my anxiety is high.
