About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Love Dana ! She’s a wonderful therapist

Dana is literally the best! She really understands the context of who her clients are!

I’ve been meeting with Dana for just over a year on this app and she’s been very supportive through this very strange, unusual time filled with its ups and downs. I feel very comfortable sharing with her and receptive to her observations and feedback. Using BetterHelp has been a great way for me to work on myself and feel comfortable speaking freely from the comfort of my own home.

Dana has been extremely helpful in all aspects of our sessions. She is very thoughtful and understanding with clear insights into what I am currently trying learn about myself.

I have been working with Dana for two years now and have felt supported, seen and heard in every session. She is an authentic and down to earth professional with a gift for her work.

She is fantastic and I’m very happy to have her! She listens and offers important feedback to help me grow

Dana is literally the best therapist I could have asked for! Even virtually she is able to pick up on things with me! She is so skilled in her craft!

Dana is an AMAZING therapist!!!!!!!!!!! She isn't just a " counselor that you talk to". She has a great knowledge base and is able to seamlessly explain things.

She is very good at a job and she’s helping me learn a lot about myself that I didn’t know.

Dana creates a professionally consistent safe space! Her presence and expertise inspires healing and growth at a deep level. She has been an invaluable support and catalyst of personal development for me for over a year now! Thank you Dana!

I couldn't have hoped for a better therapist suited to my needs during this time.

Dana is a down to earth, supportive, and intelligent counselor. She takes her clients mental health concerns seriously, analyzes and evaluates them to provide the best care and healing for them. I am glad and very fortunate to have Dana as my counselor.

In just two sessions, Dana has been professional, thoughtful and on top of her game. I am eager to see what lies ahead during our sessions together.

Amazing and very in tune with me and my needs

Dana was very direct when I needed it the most and gracefully provided many tips on how to manage my anxiety. Her ability to engage made me feel comfortable to open up about my thoughts, feelings and past.

Dana is such an amazing counselor. She’s honest, real, and always gives the best advice and guides me in the right direction.

Dana is very professional, and also caring. She responds in a timely manner and is dependable. I learned a lot in a short amount of time from her knowledge and resources. Thank you so much Dana!

She responds within 24 hours most of the time which is fine with me because we have weekly or biweekly calls where we do most of our talking. I’ve really appreciated her guidance with helping me work on my anxiety and depression.

Very sweet and very good at understanding

Dana is the best therapist! I was moments away from becoming a non-believer and working with her changed my perspective about the benefits of therapy.

Dana gives excellent advice, is always quick to respond, and took extra time at the beginning to get to know me. Right from the start I felt like she really cared about me, and I look forward to our conversations.

It's very easy to talk to Mrs. Legrande. She's empathetic and compassionate. I enjoy hearing her perspective on how to deal with challenges. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist. Great experience!

Ms. Legrande provides excellent resources, challenges my thinking, and helps me develop weekly goals for myself. Any questions or concerns I have I know I can reach out to her and she’ll respond in a timely manner. I feel supported and challenged to grow equally, a difficult balance to strike. I would not be doing as well as I am if not for Dana.

Amazing woman

Dana is amazing! I tried a few different counselors during my trial period and it took some time before I reached Dana. I appreciate the readings and articles that she sends a few times a week. She’s very good with responding in a timely manner. I can go back and forth with her on chat almost every day. She gives constructive feedback and is very supportive. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who is active and supportive.

Excellent and professional with a heart of gold!

Dana listens and responds promptly. At times I don't write anything but she is always sending me positivity and helpful information . She is always there for me even when I'm not.

Dana is extremely understanding, kind, and responsive. She truly is my pocket therapist!

Dana really takes the steps to show that she cares. She’s very understanding and knowledgeable, I can’t thank her enough!
