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.

Dan has completely revolutionised the way I view myself and my ability to overcome my challenges. I never believed therapy would actually help me, and I am happy to say that I was mistaken. Sometimes I can't believe my progress and its clear from the way I have been able to manage my very difficult recent challenge, which would have caused many people to completely unravel. I'll always remember what he has done for me and will continue to do for me. Thank you Dan, and thank you Betterhelp.
