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.

I look forward to my time with Christie - she keeps me moving forward, thinking positive, and helps me slow down and breathe and smile.
I am so glad I was matched with Christie! She is a calming soul, easy to talk to, listens actively, and offers much insight and support.
I’ve been working with Christie Spahr for a while now, and she has consistently helped me see and feel the lighter side of life. She has a remarkable ability to help me realize that everything I need is already within me, and her guidance has shown me that I am more than capable of living a positive, healthy, and happy life. Her support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for her presence in my journey.
Christie is such a pleasure to work with and to talk to. She has so much experience and wisdom to bring to the table. She is kind-hearted and very easy to talk to. I am so grateful to have met her and to call her my therapist. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to talk to!
I have been seeing Christie for a little over 2 years now and couldn't imagine having someone else as my therapist. In fact, I first started seeing Christie when she was with her previous employer prior to moving over to BetterHelp and followed her after the change so I wouldn't lose her. Haha. Christie is incredibly kind, very personable and our conversations during session come naturally, often feeling like you're talking to a friend that is a great listener that offers wisdom and advice. She is truly great at what she does and couldn't be happier to have Christie as my therapist.
I am so glad i found Christie. She's fully engaged and very easy to talk to. She offers support, insight and knowledge, yet provides enough space for me to come to my own conclusions and healing. Recommend her highly.
