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.

Super nice and understanding guy. Listens before he speaks! Which is a great quality in my opinion! Highly recommend
Dr. Sanchez has been incredibly helpful. He’s helped me start to pick things apart from my actions and start to lay the ground work for healing moving forward.
He’s amazing and helpful truly God is speaking through him
Dr Sanchez is amazing, he’s helped guide me back in the right direction. I’ve come to the realization that a lot of my problems in life are not as bad as I made them out to be. He’s helped guide me back to the Lord. He is understanding and rational. He asks many questions that cause you to step back. Challenges you in ways you didn’t know you needed to b be or even knew you could be. I 130% Recommend Dr. Sanchez. He’d be the perfect match for a wide variety of people.
I really appreciate the manner in which he listens and asks the simple yet soulfully profound questions. Offers a safe and sacred space to show up and search out the stories you are telling yourself and examine if these stories are truly in line with the life you want to be living. Grateful for a caring, curious and compassionate accompaniment in this journey we call life.
Dr. Sanchez and better help have truly been a blessing!
Very helpful and professional
Dr. Sanchez is a very knowledgeable therapist who cares about my issues. He's patient, kind, and understanding.
A great combination of a listening ear and goal oriented therapist.
So far really good
Dr Sanchez offers great insight and perspectives.
Dr Sanchez has been very helpful and understanding. He made it super easy to connect with him and establish a relationship. Lastly, I have really appreciated the ease of setting my appointments with him. Look forward to accomplishing big things with his help in the future.
Mr. Sanchez has been very understanding, Friendly, and encouraging. I'm still early in the process of therapy, so I can't give much more feedback than that as of yet, but I enjoy the sessions, and look forward to more, and I would recommend Him.
Dr. Sanchez has been a great, great help in my recovery. I started this journey 2 years ago and it went by quickly. Without Dr. Sanchez to foster a self reflective environment, i believe that my journey would have continued to stagger.
Dr. Sanchez is amazing so far. Look forward to many more sessions with him.
Dr. Sanchez is the best.

I appreciate the honest advice from Dr. Sanchez.
Since the first call to now, Dr. Sanchez has been a great help in restoring my mental health and spiritual well being!
It is a gem to find a therapist that is filled with biblical discernment, the skill to challenge one’s perception and tie it to scripture, and the compassion to try and just be there to help. This is Dr. Sanchez and what he does for me.
Dr. Sanchez is a great listener and meets you where you are at. He brings a wealth of knowledge as well as an understanding of my situations. He asks great questions to get me to focus on the root of the problem but also provides great insight and actionable next steps.
Dr. Sanchez is the first provider in over a decade of seeking mental health treatment who actually seemed to understand what I was going through. I have no idea where I'd be without his assistance.
I am really appreciative of my sessions with Dr. Sanchez. He has helped improve my mental health tremendously. He has a way of providing "tough love" that is not judgmental; I was able to apply his lessons and improve in a positive way. He is a great mirror that allows me to rethink my thoughts/feelings from a different perspective, diminishing my self-limiting beliefs. He has given me "homework" which has benefited my growth. Dr. Sanchez has provided me with invaluable support on my mental health improvement journey.
Dr. Sanchez has helped me find strategies to come out of my head and work with the problems arising for me in my life. He’s really helpful and I love the way he thinks! Thank you so much for your help Dr. Sanchez!!! :)
Very happy I found Dr. Sanchez. I tried a couple of other doctors prior to him but he definitely was the best fit. He listens to me and speaks wise words of wisdom to help me see a different perspective than what I might be stuck in at the time. Highly recommend!
Dr. Sanchez is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to my friends and family.
Dr Sanchez is caring and fantastic to talk with.
I truly appreciate all the Dr. Sanchez has been able to do in just a couple weeks. Our frank meetings have challenged me to better myself. I’m excited to see where our sessions go!
Dr. Sanchez has routinely and genuinely reached out and provided the support i need and that i struggle to give myself.
Amazing therapist, straight to the point, won't ever beat around the bush and will get problems fixed at their core.
Dr. Sanchez is excellent I hope to continue my work with him.
Dr Sanchez makes it easy for me to talk to him, while still addressing difficult subject matters for me.
Empathetic
Excellent help figuring out situations
I have a long history of doubt and avoidance of mental health treatment. I spent many years distrusting therapists and never getting any real treatment. Dr. Sanchez was the first to really make me feel that he was looking out for me. I tried to doubt him at first but it's blatantly obvious that he genuinely enjoys helping others and it really shows in his work. I look forward to our sessions because I have never gone a session without learning something valuable. Recommend 10/10.
dr sanchez has been a valuable asset to help me in a time of crisis and life change. i'm grateful to have added him to my journy
Dr. Sanchez worked with me during a very uncomfortable time in my life. Work, social life, and more we’re putting me in a great deal of anxiousness daily. In situations unhealthy. But he helped me find a path to work through some of these thought patterns. I’m very grateful to him.
Dr. Sanchez is very easy to talk to, he listens and gives guidance while making the decisions yours. He's truly there to support your journey and help you along. I would recommend him and this avenue for therapy to anyone, its very easy to get started and to use! Quick responses and always available!
Dr Sanchez is very attentive and offers many different ideas and thoughts for us to help the communication issues in our marriage. I would most definitely recommend him for anyone who is looking to better / repair their relationships.
Excellent therapist - challenges me, but is also supportive and not judgemental
He has bee. Super helpful with letting me see the other side of the coin.
Amazing! I've been struggling with myself for a long time now, not really knowing what was wrong. Dr. Sanchez figured it out in under 30 minutes. I may have been simple to diagnose but my life has only gone up since our first session, and I will definitely be going back.
Great therapist
The few months we have worked together have been very empowering and I’ve learnt things that will stay with me for ever. He helped me ovorcome my issues relating to anxiety, coping with becoming a mom, depression and workplace stress. Dr. Sanchez can be tough but I faund that that was exactly what I needed. I'm grateful for the experience and I wish Dr. Sanchez all the best.
Dr S and I spoke only once so far. He seems patient and respectful. I am so far interested in trying other sessions.
Dr. Sanchez has been absolutely amazing. I'm a combat Veteran and being paired up with him has been life changing as he is a combat Veteran as well. Having someone who understands military life, and combat environments and combat related injuries is key for me in my mental health journey.
Geat therapist
Dr. Sanchez has a heart for helping people. He is a good guy with much insight!
Awesome! Very to the point. No beating around the bush
He's great! Perfect for my needs.
Wonderful therapist
Sr. Sanchez comes across as a real person not just a clinical therapist who’s trying to analyze my thoughts. He gives me real life advice and counsel me on how to deal with my issues in a personal manner and yet keeps it professional.
10/10 recommend!
Overall my experience has been hood
He makes talking to very easy
Hmm. What to say here?! Dr. Elliot Sanches is fantastic. I have been in therapy for years. Some of those years have been enjoyable, with great practitioners and other years less so. Dr. Elliot is a no nonsense type of practitioner. For me, that is very welcomed. Due to my nature of past therapy along with my years in recovery, I have an expansive vocabulary to describe situations, all the while not saying anything of substance. I immensely appreciated his position, his questions and his feedback. I understand his journey is shifting for a moment and wish him safety and security. I very much look forward to continuing my journey with him up on his return.
I have been going to therapy for years, but it seems like no one really every listened or cared enough of my concerns until I met Dr. Sanchez
Dr Sanchez listened to my concerns and provided support and biblical guidances
Within a month, not only my life, but my world point of view was changed. At first I was reluctant, but... In the end, no regrets. I can't thank my friend enough for pushing me to try, can't thank Betterhelp enough for starting this, and can't thank Dr.Elliot Sanchez enough for helping me find my wings. Y'all may not get it now, but once you get him and grow with him, you will. Again, than you all, and many blessings and love to you all. Happy growing.
