This has been a life changing experience. I have recommended BetterHelp to a few individuals because it is a great starting point and place to be if you are thinking about starting therapy or keeping up with therapy. I now have the resources and aid to address what life is throwing my way! It is affordable and anyone can access the help they deserve.

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.

Crystal is kind and very patient in listening even when I feel overwhelmed and I feel like I can’t get out what I am trying to say. She is great with following up to check on me during the week also. She gives great feedback and tips that I can use. I enjoy writing because I process what I’m feeling better that way, so the worksheets she sends really help me to communicate better and see what I need to work on. I’m excited for what I will learn in the future while in therapy. I just want to be better.
