About online counseling

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.

Fantastic person
I am very pleased with my therapist Dawn Thompson. She asked me some questions that helped me jump into action that provided some mental relief. I have already told my friends and family that Betterhelp is worth it!
Dawn has been extremely helpful with me in this journey of trying to better myself. I couldn't ask for a better person to speak with!
While I didn’t have her as a therapist for too long, the sessions we had has made a huge difference already. Find myself implementing what we talked about daily, I’ve been taking the advice she has given me and I will continue to do so. Highly recommend!
Very professional and caring and understanding
My therapist Dawn Thompson listened to me and gave me great advice. My therapist also checked on me to see how I was doing and that meant a lot to me. I was comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Dawn and I usually do not talk with anyone other than GOD and my daughters about my personal business. I appreciate my principal for advising me to talk with someone and Better Help was a great choice. Thanks Dawn for everything.
I had amazing experience with Dawn. I would highly recommend her .She listened, cared and supported me through my emotions. I feel so relieved after talking to her. I appreciate everything she does for people who are struggling like me.

Dawn is great, very flexible , and caring! My first session was like talking to a friend or colleague but with expertise! Highly recommend!
Dawn is absolutely fantastic and has been a gem during this confusing and dark time in my life. I appreciate how empathetic she is and how helpful she is in helping me to realize what I’m feeling and to help organize my thoughts. I also really appreciate that she also makes room to just listen to everything going on that I need to let out. I’m very grateful that I was paired with her for my first experience with BetterHelp.
