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 therapist, listens, understands, supports and respects every conversation. Definitely, allows me to communicate my feelings/emotions, thoughts and directs me to finding my own solutions.
My therapist is wonderful. Tough love and empathetic.
I want to start off by saying my therapist Linda is the best! I feel so comfortable taking therapy with her. She is very kind, sweet , & most importantly patient. We have our session and she listens to advise as best as she can. I really like that I feel comfortable talking to her about my issues & feelings. I appreciate Linda so much for the little time we’ve spent have session. I hope to become the best I can be with her help & expertise. I Thank you Linda
Great therapist; takes the time to listen and understand me. She, definitely, opened up mind and helped me see and understand other perspectives.
Linda is super helpful and informative. She is a great listener, gives undivided attention and great feedback!
Linda has been such an incredible partner during this stage of my life. She listens well, is able to help me process my feelings and gives great council/perspective and tools to help foster a healthier mental environment so i can be the person i need to be for the people that matter most in my life.
Two weeks in and I feel as I have a treatment plan in the works. I absolutely love having my healing process in a far more structured manner.
Linda is an excellent therapist. She guides the conversation very well and it creates a supportive space that has helped me. I highly recommend Linda for anyone seeking genuine guidance and growth from a knowledgeable and experienced professional.
It’s early on in out therapy but Linda is easy to talk to and is a straight shooter
Linda is amazing, exactly the "perfect calm" I needed during a perfect storm of professional, personal and mental crisis events converging all in a matter of weeks. Linda not only reinforced my existing coping mechanisms but offered new options and inside that immediately reset my mindset and fostered the self confidence I needed to address each incident and/or concern I expressed in our first meeting and elevated with every session we had. THANK YOU LINDA and Better Help. I don't feel i am at 100%, but I can see a path there with continued support from Linda!
Linda is very compassionate and supportive. I’m not a good writer. Just know she is very connected to my story
Even though I have only had two sessions with her, I feel like she understands me and my needs and will definitely help.
Amazing therapist. 10/10. Very helpful and open.
She asked a lot of questions to get to the bottom of what the problem is, and then she solves it
She definitely is an experienced professional, she understands immediately when I am speaking about my difficulties and explains very well. Also provides me with honest feedback, worksheets and blogposts to understand more on what we discussed each class. She is incredible.
