Chris is the best therapist I've ever had. He is extremely understanding and open, and he has great insight. He is the first therapist to help me truly understand my problems. He is patient and very prompt to respond. His coping mechanisms are easy to implement and have truly changed my life. I've recommended Better Help to several friends since I started therapy with Chris. I had 2 therapists in person, prior to this, and they do not compare to the help that Chris has provided me. I strongly recommend Chris's services and I strongly recommend Better Help!

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.

Reviewed September 2023

I have had 3 therapists (first 2 were not better help) and Chris is already my favorite and I’ve only had 2 sessions with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, non judgmental, and he is great at steering the conversation when it gets difficult for me to keep talking about my issues. Sometimes it’s hard to address your problems, but he is great at subtly bringing them up and helping you work through them. I have a wide range of problems and he helps me work through all of them, and if we do not get to one, the next session we pick up there. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
