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.

Absolute favorite person I have ever spoken to. Makes me feel stronger than ever. Her tools have helped me so big with communication.
Angel on earth
She’s great
In a world where there aren't as many women of color, and specifically Black women in mental health, LaKeisha is the light at the end of the tunnel! She's supportive, knowledgable, and timely
LaKeisha has helped me significantly in my relationships, and particularly with my fiancé and joining a new family. She has helped me find the confidence and peace in being myself in all situations, setting healthy boundaries, protecting my own energy, and above all else leading with kindness and love. She is supportive, thoughtful, and caring, and she truly listens and understands me even when I feel like I'm not making much sense. She also has a fantastic sense of humor! I would recommend LaKeisha to any and everyone -- and I wish a lot of people I know could talk to her lol
Keisha is by far the best therapist I've ever had! She understands my concerns and I feel comfortable opening up to her. She has helped me truly be my best and most authentic self. Thank you Keisha!
She does a great job and I look forward to continuing our work together!
She has been amazing so far!
LaKeisha is very attentive and caring in her conversations with me. She listens and responds quickly.
Professional, caring, skilled.
LaKeisha is the absolute best therapist I have ever been too. She is knowledgeable, empathetic, open, transparent, and she checks-in all the time with sweet messages. She also gives introspective feedback and provides worksheets that are so helpful to staying on the right track; easy to incorporate into my daily life routine. I HIGHLY recommend her, she’s a true light and guide in my life ✨
Perfect
I am on week two of therapy, and I am definitely feeling a change in motivation, my mental health, and positive thinking throughout my days!
I cancelled my membership and she was my last appointment after being disappointed with my last two therapists. She is the best! She not only listens to help you problem-solve but guides in the direction of self-discovery. Her worksheets and individualized approaches set her apart for most.
My first therapist ever and I couldn’t think of a better match, LaKeisha has literally been God sent. She has been head on with my goals and very transparent. I am very grateful
She is an amazing therapist who truly understands and can help find ways to resolve any solutions needed.
Lakeisha feels more like a mother figure to me than just a therapist, I can tell she really cares about what I have to say and thanks to her guidance my life has made a complete turnaround !! I could not have made it this far without her—if you end up being paired with her, consider this an enormous blessing!! She is so smart, thoughtful and down to earth, she is THERE for you!! :)
She is the best!
Wonderful
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with LaKeisha. She goes out of her way to be incredibly uplifting and encouraging. which is something that I struggle to do myself. It's different to forge these relationships via the computer, but she has made it easier than expected.
So far so good:) I like her realness and advice
Ms. Wright is a phenomenal therapist. She’s knowledgeable, personable and caring. I appreciate her encouragement and support.
Lakeisha Blackwell-Wright is a wonderful therapist and I strongly recommend them. I feel safe talking to them and was happy to find them.
I really appreciate my counselor. She has helped me think outside the box on my issues and she’s consistent. Highly recommend.
I've been working with LaKeisha for over a year, and she has changed my life. From working through extremely sensitive trauma issues to dealing with challenging cultural and ethnic realities from my position in the world, LaKeisha has been sensitive, reflective, supportive, and oriented toward helping me build better relationships with myself and others. Would highly recommend working with her. She has helped me overcome so many things, helped me to love myself, forgive myself, and treat life as the blessing it is.
LaKeisha has been amazing. She has helped me with every issue I have, and gives some of the best advice I’ve ever received. 15/10 would recommend her as a counselor..especially in regards to relationship/family issues.
An amazing therapist! Would recommend her to everyone. She truly is non judgemental. I can tell her anything and she offer ways to problem solve! I love that she engages me to do the work by providing work sheets. I am learning different ways to deal with problem healthily. Thanks to Ms. Blackwell-Wright
She was helpful and offered meaningful advice and sent me pertinent information
She has been helping me through triggers and anxiety . Given me worksheets to work on and really getting down to where my problems are and where I can better help myself .
LaKeisha is so awesome and attentive. I feel heard and seen by her during every session.
I'm so glad I got matched up with LaKeisha. She has the perfect balance of listening, encouraging and providing suggestions on how to steer negative behavior or thoughts a different way. I highly recommend her!
I found myself apprehensive and anxious about starting therapy but my counselor is so reassuring and has a calming voice and encouraging outlook. I'm so glad to be paired with LaKeisha Blackwell-Wright!
Lakeisha is such a positive and radiant light. She has been so helpful in my journey to better mental health and self love. Her wisdom and joy help influence such a positive session every time!
LaKeisha has played an integral role in getting me out of a real rut. She is supportive, empathetic, and a cheerleader. She always has useful anecdotes and a great sense of humor— it’s the first time a therapist has regularly made me laugh, which is so healing! She also has great advice for clients going through substance abuse recovery. She’s gentle but firm, and I trust her. I highly recommend LaKeisha and feel lucky to have found her for myself.
LaKeisha is the best therapist I have ever had. I have been blessed with LaKeisha for just a few weeks, and my mental health has changed, completely. She has given me new mental strategies, she has given me new perspectives without judgement, she is personable, she oozes wisdom and kindness, and she has given me that feeling that I can’t put into words, she is just a blessing and nothing less. LaKeisha has changed my life, I can say that whole heartedly and I am so, beyond grateful that I got matched with her. I will be forever grateful.
Definitely a great person. She understands how you feel , she teaches and even sometimes by her experience, so you know it's not just book stuff. I connect with her and I want to do better.... never had homework before from therapy, I like what it's teaching me and I hold myself accountable for my actions. LaKeisha is sensitive to your issues and she displays kind characteristics, through your process of getting help and healing. Would definitely recommend her over and over!
LaKeisha does a wonderful job listening and offering helpful solutions to problems I am having. She is always positive and supportive. I've been with her for a year now. I am happy to have had her by my side as I have made some significant changes in my life.
LaKeisha is so insightful and encouraging. Her care and the lengths she goes to make sure I understand and am consistently doing the work to establish and maintain betterment is so appreciated. I’m so glad I made the choice to seek therapy through BetterHelp and that her and I have crossed paths.
She’s very kind and patient, she listens to my concerns and she creates a safe space for me to speak about what’s going on in my life. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. She’s awesome!!!
LaKeisha is hands down the BEST therapist I have ever worked with and it has truly been a life-changing experience. Whether I am crying and basically at my lowest of lows or whether I’m joking and laughing she approaches me with empathy, care, and thoughtful words. She makes me laugh, she understands what I’m going through, and she helps me to see where my thought distortions are, offering kind but real advice on how I can change what I’m doing to make my life better. If you’re reading this and just got matched with LaKeisha, consider yourself lucky.
She’s so insightful, and always encouraging. She recognizes where I could be doing better, and points those things out in a polite but direct manner. She’s exactly the counselor I needed.
The best therapist I've ever had, hands down! She listens and understands. She gives great advice and helps me work through my problems. I feel very comfortable with her and trust her completely! I cannot recommend her enough! Wonderful and very knowledgeable!
LaKeisha is an incredible listener and helps you come to your own conclusions while reinforcing positive changes. She brings levity and humor, when appropriate, to tough conversations and has consistently helped me make progress towards the goals that I came up with prior to our sessions. I couldn’t recommend her more.
My therapy sessions with LaKeisha are one of the most vital parts of my self care schedule. She meets me where I’m at and guides me to where I need to be while empowering me to make choices that fit ME. I AM SO GRATEFUL!!!!
She’s incredible and extremely helpful! Would recommend her to everyone
LaKeisha has helped me immensely! I am grateful to have chosen her!
Awesome. 10/10. Very kind, understanding, listens, empathic, professional. Excellent experience.
Because of Lakeisha, I have been able to get my life back on track, have more hope, and develop a more positive mindset. I am also growing in my personal and professional life!
After even just one session LaKeisha made a difference in my life that I will never forget. I actually texted my closest friends when my first session was over and told them how amazing it was and how I couldn't wait to tell them all about it. She is incredible and I feel so lucky to have found her.
I'm so happy with my choice to enroll in therapy as an investment in myself. I joined at what I would say was the lowest point of my life, and LaKeisha helped to change my perspective on what's happening in my life but also how my past doesn't have to define who I am and what I'm doing with my future. The time I spend with her is priceless, and I always leave our sessions feeling optimistic.
An excellent counselor who communicates the goals set by both of you effectively! She is awesome!
I have loved working with LaKeisha. She has such a kindness but also she will call me out if try to talk badly about myself. She has helped me work on building and applying techniques that allow me to interact with others and myself more positively.
She my very first person I've talked to professionslly and if I'd known my experience would be so easy I would've been did this years ago. Easy to talk to and very communicative in been sessions!
LaKeisha really cares about her clients. She is amazing at her job. She has brought me a lot of confidence in both being a mother and in my daily routine. If she is your paired councilor, I would strongly recommend giving her a shot. She tells me everyday “Be Encouraged.”
LaKeisha is an excellent therapist. I'm grateful for her wisdom, kindness and professional support as I navigate the next chapter of my life.
I have gained so much confidence and guidance from my counselor that I’ve been able to apply to my life. I appreciate her check-ins throughout the week and love her after-session recaps. The worksheets she sends help you to expand on the things discussed in session as well. Talking to her feels like talking with an older sibling because our conversations are so natural. Very happy with my experience so far!
From our first video chat, I loved LaKeisha. I can tell she's extremely passionate about her work and that she truly cares about her clients. She gave her all in our session, and paid attention to every word I said. I know I'm going to make a lot of progress with her. Thank you so much LaKeisha!
She is outstanding. Am blessed to have found her. Recommend that betterhelp have more folks like her. She uses ALL of the technology and tools - sets goals, provides worksheets and checks in on me to provide encouragement. Am truly blessed.
LaKeisha, is a very wise woman who listens very well, she has provided the resources and helped me establish boundaries that will continuously improve my relationships and re-establish meaningful foundations in my life.
She is extremely encouraging and I have been trying to implement the advice she has given me. I feel comfortable talking to her.
LaKeisha is amazing! I love how she actually figure things out with me. She knows exactly what my biggest concern is and she has been helping me since then. She always keeps checking on me and I'm happy about it. I'm hoping to be a better person with her guidance.
She is a wonderful listener and has very good advice. She's upfront and very honest. She's definitely here to help. I'm very grateful to have her as my counselor.
There are many valuable tools that LaKeisha has provided me with. The best result of them all so far is feeling empowered. LaKeisha helps me to take ownership of my emotions which is invaluable. I finally have a therapist that I feel safe sharing with.
I am so grateful for my therapist!! This has been extremely helpful and effective for me!!
She is wonderful and knowledgeable. I like it that she gives me worksheets to do and offers new narrative to situations for me.
