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.

I am well into my 60's and my General Practitioner diagnosed me with General Anxiety Disorder. I suspected I have dealt with GAD all my life, yet I had been trying to control it on my own. As an introvert, the BetterHelp process of matching one with a therapist was quite helpful for me. I am at ease with Dr. Hansen and she has given me several helpful tools to use for my Generalized Anxiety.
She is wonderful, listens and helps with the best way that fits for you.
Sharon is truly amazing and I love how she makes me feel like my feelings matter. She is a keeper!
