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.

My experience with Melissa has been amazing. She has been helpful and understanding towards my situations. Happy to have her as my therapist.
Melissa is a wonderful therapist! She has guided me through some pretty rough times and I always feel a lot better after speaking with her. I have tried therapy many times before but was never able to sustain it. Better Help did a great job matching us as we are very similar people. All in all, a wonderful experience and I recommend her highly.
