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.

Overall

I have a very busy schedule and struggle with managing my emotions. Lesa has helped me understand my deeper emotions and where they come from. She has already made an impact on how I feel in everyday life situations. I have always kept my emotions bottled up. Lesa has helped me improve on my self and my mental care. I can’t wait to start feeling happier and more motivated.

Lesa is my third therapist. From my first appointment with her I felt a strong connection, she cared, she listened, & ultimately treated my like a normal person no matter the situation.

Lesa is amazing. Her guidance and support has been essential to my mental health while navigating quarantine and becoming a mom!

S.A.·May 17, 2021

Overall

Lesa is amazing. I can't believe I struggled on my own for so long before I actually decided to reach out for help. Lesa understands my problems, she listens without judgement, and helps guide me through concrete exercises to work through my anxiety. I have made more self improvements in the few short months of working with Lesa than I ever did on my own.

Lesa has been great. I think there has been a lot of patience on the subjects I would like to address because I am jumping around. I am settling in to this type of counseling and Lesa is making it the most comfortable situation.

B.O.·Apr 24, 2019

Overall

Lesa is such a sweet person. She just is so down to Earth and really seems to care about what I’m telling her as opposed to the last in person therapist I saw who gave me routine breathing exercises that it seems she gives to everyone. Lesa makes it very easy to talk to her about whatever is on your mind, totally judgement free, and actually helps you address and dissect issues. She is awesome!

She is wonderful. She listened to my story and led me to ways to handle my anxiety and issues. I feel she really cares about me and if I picked, I would pinpoint her to help anyone I feel needs help. She makes me feel comfortable enough to talk about my past and helps me push past things I never thought was possible.

K.E.·Jun 28, 2018

Overall

This was my first time seeking therapy and I would highly recommend Lesa. She is very relatable and very well trained in her field. I honestly didn't have much faith in this whole experience before signing up but she has completely changed my outlook. She has helped me better myself as a person but also as partner in my relationship. I can't thank better help enough for being an affordable option for counseling, but more importantly I'm most appreciative for Lesa offering guidance in my journey.

Z.A.·Jun 20, 2018

Lesa has been helping me to process a very long and hard break up. I appreciate her patience, validation, and understanding. She is helping me to think about things in a different way and I'm benefiting from her expertise and skill as a therapist.
