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.

She is an incredible therapist! She is very caring and knowledgeable. She is highly intuitive and quickly understands your issues - and helps with coping and actionable next steps. She also checks in to monitor your progress between sessions. I began with four initial sessions and plan to continue to work with her long-term. Grateful for BetterHelp and the quality of providers.

Reviewed July 2024

I've had a great experience with Naomi in a short period of time. I shared some of my personal challenges with her that I shared with friends who thought that those concerns were not worry worthy. However, when sharing with Naomi, she insisted that they be addressed and provided suggestions on how to do so. Glad to know that I could find a therapist who listens, understands and provides strong feedback.
