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.

If you're lucky enough to be matched with Mark you won't need to switch therapists. I'm not just saying that, but over the years I've had many therapists give up on me, throw me in the too hard basket. Mark does not do that. He will find a way, a challenge doesn't scare him, is compassionate and understanding of a variety of issues. I'm so grateful to have Mark as my therapist and I will be staying on this platform until he's sick of me!

I've been working with Mark for nearly six months now. He has helped me to deal with a variety of issues including: changing unwanted behaviors, managing anxiety, developing a more positive perspective, reducing friction in my relationships, and helping me to stay positive through one of the most difficult and challenging portions of my life thus far. His advice and calming presence are truly indispensable in my life right now.

Highly recommend Mark. He is an extremely insightful, gentle and understanding person. He's been very reliable and helpful to me in my struggles with bouncing back after 10 years of continuous trauma. I needed someone who could understand and hold space for many different psychological issues and help me find solutions from multiple angles. After 15 months of therapy with Mark I can honestly say he's made a huge positive impact on my life. I really recommend him to anyone who is ready to turn their life around.

I have worked with Mark for a little over a year now as I was dealing with the loss of a loved one and a corresponding existential depression. I am so grateful for all the support he has provided me - from addressing all my concerns, to being available on short notice, and equipping me with techniques I can use for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Mark for anyone who wants a calm expert on how the brain works!

I've found my conversations with Mark to be very helpful. He is both professional and very funny and I really appreciate that combo. He is a great listener and has a lot of resources at hand to share that are helpful for further reflection.

C.L.·Jun 18, 2021

Overall

I was quite specific in what I asked for as wanted solution focused therapy instead of person centred counselling. I was matched with Mark and it was an excellent match. Mark has really delivered what I had asked for in helping me find solutions. Using worksheets etc. Goal setting etc . Mark is very relatable, down to earth and has a good sense of humour. Very relaxed and put me at my ease.

R.E.·Jun 06, 2021

Overall

I feel very safe sharing with Mark, and love his methodology. I feel supported in my own discoveries, he lets me figure things out on my own and simply guides me through certain things whenever he feels necessary. Sometimes I do feel like he holds back certain things, but I always feel like it's in a "saying this now would not be productive and it'll be better if he figures it out on his own" sort of way. All in all he is a great counselor and I am really happy to have been matched with him.

I am 26 years old and have tried counselling a handful of time before and never really connected with anyone until I met Mark through betterhelp. He is Kind, Calm, and very easy to talk to.

I have had sessions with Mark for the past two months and I can say he is amazing. He really listens to your problems and guides you through ways to overcome them and see situations in a clearer light. His voice is very comforting and kind, you really get the sense he truly cares and wants to help you through this. He sends me information guides and help sheets after every session to ensure I get the most out of every session. He has helped me through this rough time and I felt safe and calm after every phone call. Thank you.
