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.
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.

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! :)
