About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- 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.

Margaret has been so kind and patient with me. She’s helped me through a lot and I’m so grateful to have had her.
Margaret has been an amazing help to me over the last 5 months. She remembers all the details about my life and my struggles, and really makes an effort to listen and offer positive solutions. Her worksheets have been fantastic, as well as all of her advice. A huge thank you to her (and BetterHelp) for matching me up with her! Thank you ❤️!
Margaret is the best! She is cool and understanding and lets you lead the sessions and focus on what YOU need.
She is very intuitive and receptive to what her client needs. It is obvious that she has a lot of experience with many different mental health struggles, but she is very perceptive of individual needs. She is a great listener and provides excellent advice and feedback.
She has been really helpful. She listens to what I say.
She's great, she makes suggestions and not tell me how to fee
So nice, she makes me cry every week in the best ways. :)
Easy to talk too. Sends me really on point worksheets that help me assess and learn what's going on in my mind.
Margaret has been a great help to me. She listens to my problems and is helping me through a very difficult time in my life.
