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.

- 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.

So amazing!
She was real with me and always listen to what I had to say. really helped me get threw a thought.
Sierra is wonderful and positive.
I have only had one appointment with Sierra so we are still getting to know each other. I do respect and appreciate that she is very concerned with making sure that this is comfortable for me given my past experiences with therapy. I think it will take some time to get to know each other, but I appreciate her time and her ideas on ways to get me to think about things I can control and can not as well as helping me identify a clear path forward.
I really enjoy working with Sierra so far. This is my first time using Better Help and I have been through therapy in the past but this was the easiest time I've had opening up to someone. She really reminds me that my feelings are valid and that it's not bad to have feelings, it's all about knowing how to cope with them and work through them! Looking forward to continuing my work with her.
Sierra is great. I enjoyed the ease she brought to our session. I was able to open up quickly and painlessly with her that I didn't find with other therpists in the past.
