I have been working with Jessica on a number of issues, and it has been a life-changing experience for me. For many years I’ve wanted to get into a therapy routine, but something has always been off - didn’t quite connect with the therapist, making time to do in-person appointments was difficult, found therapy cost prohibitive, etc. BetterHelp has been a wonderful, and I highly recommend Jessica. She is a thoughtful and calming presence, and I could not be more grateful to have found her!

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.
