About online counseling

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.

The first time I spoke to her I felt like we had known each other for some time. She made me feel comfortable sharing and understood things about me and my situation. She provided the guidance and the reassurance I needed. Thank you!

Lakisha has been helpful and comforting during our sessions. I found her recommended instructions on point.

Reviewed September 2023

Of ALL of the Better Help counselors I could have been matched with, Lakisha is such a perfect match! She truly hears - even the things I’m not saying- and she has an intuitive sense that goes beyond what can be learned in a program, or even in years of experience. Lakisha has been such a gift/ encouragement at this time in my life, when I have felt so vulnerable. She is a good balance between being a cheerleader and a teacher. I’ve experienced many years (maybe 15-20 total) of different counselors, therapists… and Lakisha is one that stands out, as the results we are getting by working together are like compounded interest of life progress!

Lakisha is patient, responsive, understanding, and supportive. While therapy can be challenging as it brings many unresolved issues to the surface, I look forward to continuing to work on myself and better my relationships with those closest to me with her guidance.
