I started out almost 2 years ago with Viola & she has helped me work my way through some of the lowest points of my life, to get me to the place I am now. I went from cumulative traumas, emotional abuse, not knowing my value or that I was even worthy of anything good, to this peaceful place of knowing that I am worthy, I am loveable. It was a lot of work, sometimes a lot of avoidance in not wanting to deal w what was presenting, but she guided me through, and continues to guide me as I keep moving forward w my personal & spiritual growth. She has been a godsend & precisely who I needed when I needed help

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.

Viola is an amazing listener. She knows when I am so full and she knows when to share solutions with me.
Viola is amazing, I don't know how much more there is to say...
Viola is an excellent therapist, I've been seeing her for almost a year and she has been extremely helpful. I look forward to our weekly sessions.
Viola is there for me, she is understanding and caring.
I love our relationship. Viola feels like a friend. I really enjoy our conversations.
Viola is one of the best therapists I have ever had, and I've been in and out of therapy for over 30 years. She is very professional, but also personable and easy to talk with. I always feel that I can share difficult subject matter with her in confidence and receive wonderful insights from her years of experience. I highly recommend Viola Rios!
Viola has helped me so much. Thank You
Viola has been great at helping me through my struggles and finding the roots of my issues, trying different techniques until something works. I've made more progress with her in a few months than I ever did with other counselors.
I have been a client of Viola Rios for several months now and am so very grateful to have connected with her. Viola is kind, compassionate and understanding of my thoughts and feelings, yet she is straight and honest with me about who I am and my challenges. I wish I could have a session with her at least twice a week! Viola has been a huge blessing for me as I am sure she is for others.
She is a great counselor and a lovely person. I am greatful that she is my counselor.
Viola creates such a safe and healthy space in which I feel free to share and learn. She understands what feelings I’m working through and is extremely dedicated to helping reach you in ways that are best for your journey. I’m very grateful to have her as my therapist!
Viola is simply the BEST.
I have been working w Viola Rios for a few months now & she has been wonderful at guiding my path through the myriad issues I face. She has been such a help to me - especially when I short-circuit & revert back to the familiar, unhelpful coping mechanisms of my past. She has helped me develop new coping skills. Her insight & guidance has been invaluable.
The growth that I have been able to have with Viola has been amazing. Her intuition on how to lead me through my thought have lead to a better understanding of myself and a healthier family life.
I have always been skeptical of reaching out to a therapist, but Viola Rios has helped me cope with my issues in a much more healthier way. I feel I can now control my emotions better, and make more rational decisions. Talking to Viola has made me realize how important it is to take care of myself in every way possible, and for that I am so grateful. I would recommend Betterhelp and Viola to anyone seeking counseling.
She is very understanding and shares tools to help me deal with them and understand my feels that I am not able to recognize otherwise.
I was going through a rough patch and Viola got me through it with really helpful tips and exercises that I intend to keep up with! She is an excellent listener and very personable.
Viola is great. She really listens and is patient. Opening up is very hard for me and she was very compassionate and was able to help me tap into feelings that I’ve kept suppressed for years.
