I couldn't have been paired with a better therapist than Brian. I appreciate how attentive Brian is, as well as offering coping mechanisms, skills, and alternate perspectives to help me be the healthiest, most mindful version of myself as possible. I look forward to our weekly sessions and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and armed with the skills I need to take on the world. I am extremely grateful.

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.

Brian is truly wonderful! I feel very lucky to have him as my therapist. He listens and gives excellent feedback! He also sends exercises that help you outside of your session. I would recommend him 10000x more if I could!

Reviewed July 2024

Brian’s been a great match for me for therapy. There are a lot of topics important to me that he understands and is knowledgeable in where previous therapists I’ve been to definitely did not or shared a way different view on things. Brian is easy to talk to and I feel bad when I talk too long, but he’s always been nice about. Ironically the biggest complaint I’ve had from therapists is not opening up or talking enough for them to do their job. Hopefully that isn’t the case now!

Brian is so easy to talk to. He makes me feel so safe and valued. He has messaged me back every time I have reached out in less than 15 minutes. He is positive and caring and completely authentic. I KNOW that he wants to help me with all I am dealing with. A truly beautiful soul wrapped up in an amazing therapist/counselor.

Educational materials, listening to my concerns and providing feedback and guidance to what I am sharing at the moment is really awesome. Also, his commitment to provide help and be there for any of his clients is something to admire. I’d definitely recommend Brian Couch to anybody that is going through difficult situations.

Brian is the first therapist in which I know, each meeting, my I will have new tools, new insight or even conquer that objective. I am grateful to have a therapist that I do not ‘talk to’ but ‘talk with’ I trust his expertise and he communicates in a way that is conversational, relatable and caring. There is always room to grow, and feeling the movement/progress along the way is quite powerful. Thank you, Brian!

This is my first go about receiving therapy sessions online, and in general. I have made phenomenal progress in a short amount of time. There is much to still overcome and grow upon, but I am very thankful and pleased with the integrity and support through 'Better Help.com' and Brian (Therapist).
