I have been in therapy with Laura for 10 months and I don’t know what I would do without her. I was not in a good place emotionally when I first signed up for BetterHelp. Laura is such a great listener. She is empathetic, kinda and loving. I have become stronger, more confident, and I feel great thanks to her insights and infinite wisdom.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
