About online counseling

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.

Martin is very thorough with me. He has a knack for helping me through my moments of crisis. I am glad that I matched with him.
He's been essential in helping me navigate what I can and can't do with my social anxiety. I couldn't handle what I'm going through without him.
Martin is very compassionate and that is what I need right now.
Martin has been fantastic. He is understanding and knowledgeable. When my wife passed away I was defeated and destroyed. He has helped me cope with the loss and work on myself. He has been the best therapist I could have asked for. My life was destroyed and he has been with every step to make my day to day actions easier. He has taught me to go at my pace and not the pace of the world. I needed time to heal and still do. I know he will be there to help me every step of the way.
Non judgmental and always encouraging.
This is the first time I’ve ever had experience with therapy at all, and I was really nervous to try anything. Martin has been incredibly helpful, and I would absolutely recommend him as a therapist! Signing up for therapy started out as something pretty scary for me, and having Martin as my therapist absolutely took the fear out of it!
He's a wonderful person and therapist!
I had a wonderful experience meeting with my betterhelp therapist, he consistently checked in on my progress from the previous time we spoke and offered solid practical advice on new practices I could apply to my everyday life to work toward the improvements I desired. I hope to meet with him again when I subscribe again in the future.
He is really nice and gives good advice. Isn’t ever judgey and always tried to see it from your point of view and be understanding of why you feel like you do.
Friendly and warm. Absolutely a high caliber professional.
I’ve had only visits and things have turned around for me for the better. He’s awesome.
Martin is great. Extremely helpful and non judge mental. He listens, supports, and is super engaging.
We are just getting started in our therapy, understanding of each other, but I’ve appreciated his promptness to my needs, support, insights and understanding. He allows me space to sound things out and offers information for me to process.
