I love that my therapist is a woman of color and down to earth. The ability to chat versus being face to face or having to talk on the phone keeps me from having to take time off from work or to chat while my daughter is in the room. No one knows I’m having a therapy session while they are sitting in the same room with me. I’m already benefiting from the tools she gave me from our very first session!

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.

Lavondra is flexible and attentive to my needs which is very important for my work and personal schedule. To have a therapist that listens to you, helps you, and holds you accountable is hard to come by.
As a member of a church body it has been a great experience to be able to connect with a therapist that is also in tuned with her relationship with God and he able to offer me Godly advice. I love that she listens to me and explores me before coming to any conclusions. This has been a very trying time of my life and I am thankful that I was able to speak with Mrs Boyd to help me through it. If I was to ever come back to Better Help I would use her again, she's relatable, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Sometimes people offer you what you want to hear but she tells you what you need to hear in a respectful way of course, but honesty is what gets people out of ruts so they know exactly what to face head on. Thank you for being a therapist with Better Help Mrs Boyd and thank you for letting God use you.
LaVondra has the right balance of giving you time to express yourself and providing insight. I feel heard by her, and I enjoy our sessions. I also appreciate her praying for me when I request her to. Thank you, LaVondra!
Lavondra did a great job of listening, guiding and then offering coping suggestions. If I decide to rejoin better help I will be going right back to her!
LaVondra is able to give me advice and holds me accountable to my goals and things I want to change.
Have really enjoyed our sessions and all of the help you have provided me,
LaVondra is easy to talk to. She engages in conversation and offers ideas and suggestions. She's not pushy in giving advice. He smile makes her east to connect with.
LaVondra was great! She listened to me and I felt like she understood. She took my concerns and provided me with more than one approach. This was important because it gave me the ability to plug and play or use a blended approach. My sessions with LaVondra were my weekly stress reliever. Unfortunately, I moved to a state that she wasn’t licensed. I would recommend her.
Fantastic, Caring and someone I trust.
