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.

Alisa is by far one of the most understanding, kind, and supportive people I have ever had the pleasure to speak to with. Thank you for having such an amazing therapist on better help! She helped me grow immensely!
She's fantastic. She's been helping me alot giving me great tips and advices , and you can tell she's really listening. At the end of the day it's just nice to be heard and to feel like someones actually trying to help.
I don’t know how to write this without getting emotional but Alisa is truly a gift. I’m so lucky to have her as my therapist. Alisa makes me feel comfortable and safe without any judgement. My experience with her is slowly changing my negative thoughts and I can’t say enough how good it feels to have a person who shows real care for her patience. Thank you to her and thank you for this amazing app that I truly recommend to anyone who needs to grow mentality and emotionally.
Alisa Sharoikina is a very warm and engaging therapist who has made me very comfortable in sharing my most intimate thoughts and life experiences. She is very easy to open up to and has offered me constructive ways of dealing with issues I face. I was not looking for merely a person to listen to me and witness me, but someone who could offer some expert and informed guidance and ways of coping with past traumas and current situations. I feel that I have found a perfect blending of both in Alisa. I would highly recommend her.
