Lauren has been a great therapist since day one. She is highly professional, consistent and great at remembering things that I have chosen to share in previous sessions. My time with Better Help and Lauren has not been that long but it has still made a sizable impact to my day to day life. I would definitely recommend Lauren to people who are thinking of starting therapy.

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.

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.

Lauren has been such a lovely, understanding therapist who has supported and helped me to cope with anxiety at uni. Lauren creates a safe space for you to open up and gives insightful perspectives and tips to control and manage how you are feeling. I couldn’t recommend Lauren more! :)
