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.

Vanessa has been a huge help to me Don’t know what I’d done without her
Vanessa is the best! She is an extremely kind, compassionate, caring, and patient therapist. I always feel better after I talk to her. She provides a lot of great education, skills, and is always supportive. I highly recommend Vanessa and am grateful to have matched with her. I have now been working with her for several years.
Best therapist ever. Vanessa is always supporting and being there even if I have not started the conversation in a day. I strongly recommend her to everyone!
Vanessa is amazing, and she is caring and considerate to my feelings. She listens through my ranting and makes me feel like I'm worth it. I always feel relief after voicing concerns I have with her! I appreciate her so much!
Really recommend Vanessa as such a great therapist that listen to you, understands your concerns and help you a lot through your processes. She is amazing!
V is brilliant at what she does. She’s had a transformative impact on my life in so many ways. With over 22 years of experience, she is knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, and has keen insight into working with clients to problem solve and get results. Approach her with a growth mindset and willingness to do the work, and get ready to soar! I referred a friend who is also having great results with her. Would definitely recommend.
Vanessa is incredible! She has guided me through some major life challenges to a point where I now feel confident tackling the obstacles life throws my way. Her impact on my life has been immeasurable!
As mentioned before, Vanessa has been helping me through so much! She really is amazing, and caring about what's best for me. I don't know what I would do without her. She really has helped me get through so much trauma and rewire my thinking to be more positive. I recommend BetterHelp to all of my friends! I have gone through therapy before, but it was nothing like her. She is down to earth, and really listens. :)
I cannot say enough about Vanessa. She has been an oasis of compassion at a really difficult time, and I always look forward to our calls. I feel like she’s my partner in my mental health, and incredibly approachable. She’s so warm, and that helps me open up. Book her!
I am so thankful for Vanessa. She is a wonderful counselor:
She is amazing, and I look forward to her sessions every week. I have been to multiple counselors in the past and no one has made an impact like her. Very happy
Having Vanessa as my therapist has provided me with the support necessary to continue on a path to wellness. I am confident that she is always here to support me and listen to me as I process. She provides me with recommendations and makes suggestions for areas of exploration in my self care process that provide additional benefits to my health. I would highly recommend her services to others
