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.

Great support and understanding
Awesome therapist
I am very pleased with human and warm approach that Geri gives me. She hears me and pays attention to my problems. She tries to help me and I feel her concern for my wellbeing.
I’ve been working with Geri for a few months now and I couldn’t be more pleased with how sessions have turned out. I always feel comfortable, seen and heard, and always look forward to following sessions!
I have only been working with Geri for two weeks so far, but she has already made me feel extremely comfortable to talk about my past, and present issues. She helps give an incredibly valuable outlook on things that you would never think of yourself. Looking forward to working with her for the foreseeable future!
Amazing
Geri is wonderful!
Geri is a thoughtful, compassionate, helpful therapist. She listens and responds to my concerns appropriately.
Geri is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She has helped me through the most difficult time in my life. She not only listens and follows up, with a strong attention to detail on each therapy session, but I appreciate all of her knowledge and expertise in addition to her empathy. Her wealth of knowledge and resources helps me gain understanding and helps with processing certain topics, emotions, challenges etc. I look forward to every session and can’t thank her enough for helping me as I grow and work on myself.
I was really pleased with Geri’s ability to weed out the issues and discuss fully. She’s a skilled listener, and I appreciated her insights
She is wonderful!
Geri is a great therapist! She is non judgmental and very knowledgeable in an array of areas. She has given me great advice and I leave every session with a smile! So glad I found her!!
Geri is the best therapist I have ever worked with. Seriously - the best! I have learned so much about myself from my time with her.
Geri was very professional and knowledgable. She would listen and give useful feedback to me regarding my situation. I would highly recommend her.
She's everything you want in a therapist. Attentively listens, talks in a calm and postive manner and allows you to be comfortable.
Geri is a great listener - she picks up on what we are unable to articulate at times and puts it all together to make sense for times when I am struggling to get the whole picture. She also empowers me with great tools to cope and regulate as and when needed.
I feel hopeful and excited about addressing some of my fears and anxiety now. Geri is kind, compassionate and is a great listener and facilitator.
Insightful and knowledgeable , wonderful therapist !
She feels very down to earth and wise, very supportive.
If you have been looking for a therapist who is compassionate but also a qualified professional then look no further. It does not better than Geri.
Geri takes the time to respond to my journal entries in a kind but also professional way. She always gives me feedback whether my entries are positive or negative and always gives advice when I need it, An amazing Therapist for sure, Looking forward to working with her more.
Love my therapist and find Better Help easy and convenient.
She is the BEST! So attentive, very observant and remembers things I said to guide me - 10/10!
Best therapist I ever talked too
One meeting: so far, so good. Geri is great; she seems to understand where I'm coming from, where I'm at. I'm looking forward to continuing the process with Geri.
Thank you
i look forward to every session
