Laurie has been great so far in our first few sessions. I haven't had a lot of luck in the past with finding someone I feel connects with my issues in a constructive/understanding manner. I'm excited I found Laurie here!

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.

She's great at mirroring and encouraging me to move beyond.
She has been a huge help for me and I’m very happy I was recommended to use this site and get the privilege to work with her.
Really good and listens to your problems
Great therapist she hears me
Sweet and empathetic.
I love my sessions with Laurie! She remembers all my people and corresponding baggage. BetterHelp gives me a space space to work through my own reactions and triggers in dealing with myself and others.
Laurie has been a friend in my corner during a challenging series of life events (unemployment & moving cities). She is a great listener and always gets back to me in a timely manner. I was worried at first trying Better Help that the therapists wouldn’t remember me or my specific tics, but that hasn’t been the case at all! I gladly recommend this app and Laurie to anyone who is looking to prioritize their mental health!
Laurie is a great listener, asks meaningful and thought provoking questions and gives sound advice. Highly recommend.
Laurie Siegel is the most compassionate, empathetic, understanding and attentive therapist I've ever had. She's beyond professional, patient and, I feel safe sharing what I'm going through with her. To me, trust and feeling safe sharing is so important. I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone seeking out counseling.
11/10 really listens and gives food insight on how you can go about tackling the problems you're facing
