Deepa is great at listening to my concerns and working with me to tackle the emotions and goals I work to establish. Additionally, she send me helpful prompts and exercises to work through that we then discuss. Moreover, she checks in with me (unprompted) nearly every week to see how I’m doing and feeling before and after our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in seeking out therapy through betterhelp or other means.

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.
