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.

Dawn is giving me a great first experience with therapy, I look forward to continuing my journey with her!
Dawn has met my needs as a therapist. She has provided me confidentiality and compassion. I appreciate her being available at this time of my life.
From the start, Dawn was an absolute joy to work with. She is very personable, takes the time to listen to make me feel heard, and makes sure that I understand that everything we experience is temporary. I have great hope that Dawn will help me become the best version of myself. It's almost as if having the big sister or best friend that you've always wanted to have that just tells it like it is!
Dawn is a real one.
My therapist is amazing. Speaking with her is like talking to a best friend but better. I can trust the guidance she gives because of spiritual wisdom and wisdom on how to cope with the things of life.
In just one session with Dawn, I feel seen, heard, understood, validated and genuinely cared about. She is down to earth, kind, warm and compassionate. But she’s also honest & up front, so I’m glad to know that she’s truthful rather than just coddling me. I’m glad that I gave BetterHelp a try, and I’m glad they assigned someone like Dawn to be my therapist!
Dawn is a very thoughtful and insightful therapist. She anticipates my needs and meets me where I am at mentally. She is a great listener and her level of expertise amazes me every time. Grieving the loss of my best friend has been one of the worst tragedies I have dealt with in my 38 years of living. She acknowledges and validates my feelings but also challenges my thought process in the most professional way. Dawn is not judgmental and she is very easy to talk to. I appreciate the homework assignments and journal entry feedback as well as her daily mental check-ins on me!
I have only had one session but she is a good listener and write down important information
