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.

I feel completely comfortable with her.
Miriam is a wonderful therapist. She's a lovely person with a great sense of humor. Talking to her is easy and comfortable. As a counselor, she strikes a great balance of supporting me where I need comfort and pushing me where I need growth, offering me different perspectives to try and challenging me to think of new ways to approach problems or relationships. She helps me not only think through my thoughts and feelings, but also provides great advice for navigating complicated situations.
Miriam is amazing. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
I really enjoyed working with Miriam. She listened to what I was struggling with and offered me new perspectives and advice. I would definitely recommend working with her!
She is a great therapist who has helped me see things that I just couldn't on my own. I am grateful to have encountered her on BetterHelp. I look forward to my sessions with her cause I know each is one that will bring revelations and actionable steps.
Kind, sympathetic, listens well, offers ideas and solutions.
Even though I attended only one session with Pappas-Nemez, she was very reliable in terms of responding to my messages on time and giving me homework after our sessions. During our live sessions, she was very understanding and empathetic and helped me a lot with the issues I've been dealing with. I highly recommend her.
I feel heard and it's easy to have a conversation with her!
Miriam is an incredible therapist. I have had many in my lifetime but none that check up on me or give me specific homework for the week. These assignments help me stay focused on exactly what I need to remember to work on and not fall back into my unconscious habits. Thank you Miriam for all you do!
