Recent reviews
I have worked with therapists off and on for years and it's often the connection you make with the person. Pamela doesn't tell me what to do to address my issues. She asks me questions and gets me to thinking and helps to guide me but it's never a situation where someone is saying, "Well, if you would just do it this way, you would be better off." She knows how to ask the questions that just make me think things through when I've been stalled out and going nowhere.

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.

Very understanding.
Great lady! Very calm and open about listening to me and my concerns. Good advice so far. Thank you!!
Pamela is very attentive and supportive of my issues and concerns. I’m very pleased thus far.
I was reluctant to do this online however it has been a good thing. I feel heard and understood Pam checks on me even in-between my sessions. She has went above and beyond as a therapist.
Pamela Thompson was very welcoming and calming to me: both of which I was needing. She was very responsive to my online messages.
From the very first time we spoke I knew this was the right person for me. A listener, an encourager, knows how to get me to think about what I need to do by asking questions and getting me to think.
From the very beginning Pamela was genuinely concerned about my mental health and thoroughly informative about my concerns regarding my mental health and ways to prevent a decrease in some of my more serious episodes as I would like to call them. Pamela takes the time to listen and yet Give positive feedback at the same time,I hands down would not hesitate to recommend the better help platform to those who struggle with day-to-day battles in hopes That I would encounter a therapist such as Pamela
She listens and very attentive I love that made me feel real comfortable
Pam is very easy to talk to. She is realistic but a very positive person. I appreciate her compassion and love for what she does for mental health of todays world.
She's super nice, respectful, and smart!
She an amazing woman. Highly recommended
She’s very easy to talk to. She’s very knowledgeable. She pays attention to what you say to her and respond in kind. I really like her and she makes it easy to talk to her about things that are not easy to talk about.
She’s been so wonderful to me, I couldn’t be anymore grateful than I already am to have her as my very first therapist.
