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.

Dr. Wilson is AMAZING. I love our sessions. I always leave feeling better and better and more in-tune with myself. Honestly best decision made
Dr. Wilson first helped me back in 2020 until I was ok not needing weekly help. Then a year later I requested him again for more counsel because well, life happens. And he willingly took on one more patient (me) when he wasn't accepting any new ones. Great family man, and has many perspectives to bring to the table.
I have really enjoyed my sessions with Dr. Wilson for the past few months. I can share things with him that I don’t feel so comfortable sharing with other people and his responses are usually insightful and useful.
No issues ever only good things to say. I always look forward to talking with Dr. Wilson. He is very good at listening and helping me talk through things. Highly recommend.

I have really enjoyed our sessions together and i already see a change in myself and it is honestly so AMAZING and EMPOWERING.
Dr. Wilson is an amazing listener. He ask opened ended questions, and he gives very good advice on a variety of things.
I’ve only been with my counselor for a few weeks but so far it has been nice to have someone to talk to without judgement and without feeling like you burden them. It’s helped to get things off my chest that I’ve been holding on to for some time now.
No complaints. This has been a great experience and I will recommend to others.
Very understanding and insightful. But to the point when needed. He is very knowledgeable and recognize certain behavioral issues right away. He also works with your schedule and follows up, shows he cares a lot about his patients. Highly recommend.
I was very new to therapy and Dr. Wilson was great at helping me transition into it. Really amazing at what he does!
Dr. Wilson is awesome. He really takes the time to listen to me and always makes me feel better about my situation. He also takes the time to check in on me between our sessions.
Dr. Wilson has been amazing to me, he lets me know that what I am feeling about certain things is normal and he listens to everything I say. His advice has been amazing and has helped me through a lot. I can not say enough good things about him. He makes it feel like I'm talking to a friend instead of a counselor and its so much easier to open up to him.
He is great! He is super kind and always helps me a lot.
Dr. Wilson is a kind and compassionate listener.

Dr. Wilson has been great. He gives me tools to help between sessions. I always leave the session feeling better than I started. He’s kind and encouraging. I’m very thankful for him and BetterHelp which allows these sessions on a busy schedule.
As a person with some pretty severe anxiety, Dr. Wilson was able to relate with his own experience and thus was able to effectively offer methods and advice that could help with controlling my anxiety. We've only had a few sessions so far, but his wisdom has definitely impacted me already and I'm grateful for his help.
I sought counseling with Dr. Wilson after having some trouble with a previous therapist. We were able to work around my changing schedule and I was able to make great progress toward my goals.
I have had Dr. Wilson for a while now and do have breakthrough moments every now and then which make it totally worth all of the work I put in and that he puts in with me. Very accommodating to my scheduling needs and respects my time
Dr. Wilson always answered promptly and in detail. He helped me with my confidence and getting over a tough situation in my life and I think his advice was valuable.
I'm fairly new to BetterHelp and about two weeks in with my counseling with Jonathan Wilson. I do have a lot of ground to cover but I already feel a greater sense of calm and control over my emotions. Jonathan provides both empathy and practical solutions to obstacles and is very encouraging along the way.
Dr. Wilson is very down-to-earth and has a great attitude. He is a great professional!
Dr. Wilson is very engaging and empathetic to my situation. He has offered insightful and knowledgeable techniques that help motivate introspect for emotional well-being. I highly recommend his skills as a therapist.
