Sarah is a gentle, knowledgeable, patient and compassionate therapist who has helped me through leaving an abusive relationship and supported me through resulting anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD. I have been meeting with her weekly over a year and trust her expertise and teaching. She is a skilled and wonderful therapist and I would 10/10 recommend her and Better Help.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.
