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.

Bonnie is a wonderful counselor and I am grateful for having her help me navigate the difficult seasons of life I am going through. She has lots of good, helpful insights and a spiritual perspective that really is a blessing.

Bonnie is a gem. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive and flexible in her therapy style/delivery. All things that make for a great therapist. Very grateful to have found her.

Bonnie, has uncovered for me real wounds I've been carrying from my childhood early into my sessions with her. I've seen other therapists in the past few years who have helped me grow but Bonnie has made a tremendous impact in my growth and helped my self discovery and awareness while offering a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel good about the hard work I have out in with her. It means a healthier and more grounded me. Thank you.

My time spent with Bonnie has been very helpful. She’s a good listener, processor, and then responder when appropriate in a way that has been healing for me. I look forward to my time with her.

Bonnie has a wonderful bedside manner and is very attentive to my situation. I would highly recommend her.

With my situation that I am dealing with, Ms. Bonnie has been a new light in my life when I felt I was living in darkness. Her conversations with me left me feeling a new found hope and a different way to express what I was feeling. I would highly recommend her. I cannot thank her enough to care on making me realize how to overcome what I was going through and knowing someone is there for you to support you was a God send. Thank you from the bottom of my heart .

I’ve never tried talk therapy before and I found Bonnie to be a very caring, attentive, and concerned advocate! We were matched because she is a woman of Faith which is very important to me. I would highly recommend her services for any needs you may have.

Bonnie, is such a great professional to work with! I just a few sessions I have already been able to share some important points with her and she has helped me identify my areas of growth and what to do in order to continue healing and progressing towards a healthier me.

She’s a been there done that kind of therapist and is expertly able to listen for, point out, and remedy my self-sabotaging behaviors with kindness, gentleness, and support. She does not put pressure on me to be anyone but myself or do anything beyond what I am ready for. She responds to my questions and has very logical remedies for snares I find myself in.

Bonnie is amazing... I was so fortunate to have been 'paired' with Bonnie as right from the start she made me feel comfortable in talking with her. Bonnie gently guides you and never pushes you. She has an amazing ability to connect and understand.

Bonnie is great

Bonnie has been a great help.

I was hesitant to do therapy. I tried counseling with someone else through my employer and hated it. It made no difference in my life, but I figured I’d give something new a try. Bonnie is amazing. After the first meeting with her I could feel the heavy weight in me start to lift. It has completely changed my view of therapy and I don’t see how I went all these years with just my medication for my mental health. Bonnie can relate to me and it helps me know she knows what she’s talking about. She also gives me things to think about and try when we aren’t meeting. And she is always able to respond to the message board, usually within just a few hours even. She’s wonderful and I am so thankful for her even though it’s only been a few weeks of meetings.

Great therapist!

I like that she listens and remembers details I would share. Bonnie makes talking to her very easy and opening up to her comes naturally. She also is easily accessable and always recommends alternative methods for therapy for before and after our meetings. She is great at what she does.

Excellent!

She is compassionate and a wonderful listener.

This has been an amazing experience and I would recommend her to anyone who needs comfort and support in their struggles. Thank y'all so much for what you do!

Bonnie is amazing. She responds in such a timely manner and really makes me feel so supported all week long. She is also a wonderful listener. Her ability to recommend helpful books and podcasts is a great asset to my therapy. Highly recommend Bonnie!

I just began with Bonnie and Better Help but have found her to be intuitive, compassionate and equipped with skills to help me tackle issues I am addressing

I have been struggling to deal with attachment issues, depression, and a long distance relationship. And I was crying every night. When I got BetterHelp and chose Bonnie as my therapist, my life has improved immensely. Bonnie helps me think through some of the issues I’ve been having in my life, asking me questions that sort of help me think about my problems in a constructive way. I highly recommend her.

I have appreciated Bonnie’s perspective and insight into my life experience.

Very reassuring and comforting while being a great sounding board

Bonnie has been a great help to me. I feel like she has taught me so much about myself, and helped me better understand my thoughts and feelings.

So far I am extremely impressed

I am so thankful to have Bonnie as my therapist! She is always willing to work with my schedule. She tries her best to dig deep into what I want to work on and circle back to things she might have a concern about. She knows when to listen and hear what I have to say, but she also knows how to push me and ask questions in the most respectful way possible!

Bonnie is very knowledgeable in her profession, she knows exactly how to guide and help you. She knows how to make you aware of things you may need to work on in a reassuring manner.

Very aware of my issues with great suggestions

Bonnie is 100% present for her patients and responds immediately to posts. She truly listens and is compassionate.

I have SO appreciated having a listening ear and an impartial perspective on my issue. Moreover, sound guidance when it felt like my world was falling apart. Everyone needs a little help from time to time. I don't drink. Bartender is out. I doubt I would trust bartender advice. I DO trust Bonnie's advice! A great service that has truly helped me.

I am so blessed to have Bonnie Define as a therapist. She is caring and responsive. As soon as I write a message I get an immediate reply almost always. She goes at your pace and respects boundaries. I would definitely recommend her services without a second thought. Thank you for all you do.

I haven’t done therapy before, and I was a little nervous about who would be my first therapist, I'm so glad I was matched with Bonnie! I feel comfortable talking to her, and her feedback has helped me a lot. I hope I can have Bonnie helping me to navigate through the challenges in my life for a long period of time.
