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 guy
ken is awesome! really grateful he is on betterhelp:)
It feels great talking to Kenneth. Thank you
He is a great guy, very understanding and listens to what I say and offers valuable feedback. Gives me tools and things to work on until we get to talk again.
He is a good conversationalist and a good listener. He seems very knowledgeable and has very good access to helpful resources. He has a very friendly demeanor which makes it very easy to talk with him.
I just began therapy for the first time and have felt extremely comfortable and heard with Ken. We have just begun, but he has provided me great materials and insights that I look forward to expanding on. Thank you Ken for all your work and dedication towards your clients.
Keith is a sweet patient guy . Let’s me vent and gives me good feedback

We have only met twice, but I feel better after every conversation! And after all, that is the point! Feel better!!
He is great! He has helped me cope with the hardest time and made me feel so comfortable talking about anything and everything. He is definitely a number one pick!!!
It feels like Ken hears and understands. I love that he utilizes the worksheets. We have done assessments and discussed them. He has great insights.
Ken is wonderful and helping me when I’ve finally let myself get some professional guidance
Kenneth Vick is a kind, empathetic therapist who has experience in so many issues. He was able to keep me on track and supported me through some very challenging times. I highly recommend him.
Glad to have him in my corner.
I usually tend to be nervous and anxious when talking to new people, but Kenneth made the experience of talking to a therapist straightforward and comfortable. I felt heard, and it was able to help me guide me navigate my thoughts toward solutions I can try out and later reflect on. I'm glad I didn't let my anxious mind stop me from meeting Kenneth.
Excellent professional
Kenneth is outstanding and helps me see things in a different perspective. I am so grateful for his insight and perspective.
