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.

Been working with her for awhile now. Totally changed my life and has helped me in so many ways. Always appreciate her insight.
I’m so grateful to have found Alison on betterhelp! I hear that it’s common for people to have to change therapists a few times to find one that is a good fit. I feel lucky that I didn’t have to do that. Thank you so much!
Alison has such a broad scope of knowledge. I’m grateful for her thoughts and expertise ❤️
Alison is great; she is very attentive and respectful. She is a great listener and gives you great tools to work with within your comfort level.
Alison is very helpful in grounding me when I feel somewhat floaty and untethered. Her advice is helpful and kind. I feel like I have a person in my corner.
The first time I spoke to Alison I felt unsure how therapy would go and if my therapist and I would be able to get to the root issues. Within just a few minutes Alison had identified a main issue and goal and spoke to me about the way I felt in a way that made me feel so seen, I just wanted to cry. I also loved that she was happy to adjust to my pace and give me lots of homework and support when I was ready to really be serious about therapy and my growth.
I appreciate that she checks in on me when I haven’t been very responsive.
I've seen quite a few people and honestly feel like Alison has helped me more in one session than any others in years combined. I feel heard, important, understood, and connected. I have hope for a greater mental health for the first time in my life.
I have only been working with Alison for a few weeks and I’m so thankful to have found her! She is very responsive, quick to address situations, and has a knowledge base that is INCREDIBLE. She has broken down walls for me that I’ve been working on for years, and she did it in such a short amount of time. She is amazing.
Alison has been a great support. I’ve been dealing with a lot so together we prioritized issues to tackle and work on. It’s been great not feeling so alone.
