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.

He absolutely understands my position as a single Mother of an adult alcoholic. He has significant experience in addiction counseling and recovery. It is wonderful to have someone to talk to that understands the disease and the impact on family.

Reviewed January 2024

Duane is an experienced, down to earth therapist with a no-nonsense approach that is very supportive and straight-talking. He helped me with figuring out how to protect myself while trying to support my spouse before my spouse was ready to become sober. The approach Duane took helped me to get out of crisis and set some limits about what I would put up with, while also emphasizing healthy ways I can support sobriety without taking the responsibility on myself. It worked great to meet online. I recommend Better Help and Duane highly.
