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

Dr. Foxan is great. She sends checkin messages usually weekly to see how you are doing.

She has been very attentive and easy to talk to strongly recomend her services

She’s my fourth therapist, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s the kind of therapist I assumed I would be getting, she’s knowledgeable, takes notes, ask questions, and helps me to draw conclusions that I previously was unable to formulate on my own - in the short time that I’ve been working with her, I have made such tremendous progress, and I’m so grateful to have her as my therapist.

Kathee is great at getting to the point with what the real problem is. She explains things in a caring way while giving you the answers you need to hear.

So far.. we have gone synergy and all is well. It’s nice to talk to someone who has had some of my same struggles.

Kathee has been amazing to work with

She’s wonderful and has been so helpful, kind, and patient throughout my journey.

Kathee is such a wonderful listening ear. She tells me her true opinion on things and gives me endless support and encouragement. She seeks to understand, remembers details about me, and makes me feel like she has a genuine interest in my progress and healing. I love having Kathee in my corner, can not recommend her highly enough. A chat with her always makes me feel better.

It is so nice to be able to chat my therapist when ever I feel like I need to vent and not have to wait for our session together. She is so timely about getting back to me and giving me the extra confidence boost or feel good thoughts that help me get through a tough day, even if we don’t get to talk that day.

I love Kathee so far! We’ve been matched on here for a couple weeks and I know I can message her whenever I am having a hard time and she will respond quickly and with great advice. She also has provided a worksheet that really helped me work through some of my anxiety and I really appreciated it. ALSO she is the perfect match for me! We have similar interests and I feel like she understands the step in life I’m going through right now.

A great help and influencer. At first I was reluctant to even start therapy in the first place and a little nervous to try non-traditional therapy, but Kathee was very positive and supportive in her advise and questions. She created an open dialog that helped offset social anxiety. I'm not a very open person in my everyday life, however I felt reassured and comfortable with talking, seeking help, and accepting guidance from her. Thank you for all that you do.

She has been a lifesaver... she makes you feel like she genuinely cares... it is not just a job for her... you feel like you are talking to a friend... a really close, cares about your best interests kinda best friend... Highly recommend

Kathee has been so beneficial

I enjoy that she allows her raw reaction and emotion I’ve experienced (what I felt) inaccurate feedback from previous people that I feel like I need genuine authenticity and she gives it.

Kathee is a very understanding therapist she has helped me understand my problems and let me feel better about letting go of the past.

I have been greatly benefiting from these sessions with Kathee. I have been through a very rough phase and I totally appreciate the support from her as my therapist.

Kathee was highly responsive to my needs and offered several ways for me to approach the issues I was dealing with. She was empathetic and compassionate and engaged me in conversation that helped me feel comfortable and able to share my story and context. This better helped (get that "better helped" lol) Kathee to get to the heart of my concern. I finished counselling sessions with helpful ways to approach my thinking regarding my circumstance. I would highly recommend Kathee.

Kathee has been amazing. She’s helped me along in my journey and is open minded and accepting. I would recommend her highly.

Kathee is so extremely sweet! She uses tough love at times, but she’s never rude or overstepping.

Very attentive and understanding. Also very relatable

She has been responsive, honest and most of all human. Katheehas checked in with me when I've been too quiet, but never intrusive. She listens and offers real input. Kathee even remembers me and our previous conversations. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere!

Kathee has a pragmatic clarity that has been extremely helpful it getting me to the next place I want to be in life.

Kathee is amazing, she builds me up but also isn’t afraid to tell me what I’m doing wrong and what I can do to be better.

Wonderful and has so much patience. I’ll recommend her.

Kathy is awesome. Pulled me back from the brink. She earned my trust and I respect her very much.

Kathee the best Therapist I have ever had. She has helped me see things others could not and that really helped me tremendously. I highly recommend her and I am glad I have her in my life.

Kathee is amazing as ever. She offers me new perspective and always supports me, no matter what.

Kathee has been a wonderful support to me here at Better Help. She seems to genuinely care about me and my well being. She frequently reaches out to check in which I really appreciate it. I would strongly recommend her to be your therapist.

Kathee is a kind and wonderful therapist. I am grateful for her.

She is quick to respond and gives great advice

Kathee always has kind things to say to me, and helps me digest things that happen around me and it’s nice having a good friend I know I can talk to about anything

Kathee is wonderful, you can tell she really cares about her patients and she’s passionate about what she does.

Thankful to have her

She is very positive and seems like she understands me even if we're not in person to person contact.

I really like Kathee. I struggled for years with therapists that I didn't like and who didn't help me. I feel like Kathee understands me and understands why I am the way I am. She's heard my worst secrets that I haven't told to anyone before and she didn't judge me. Instead, she told me that I need to judge myself less. She's helped me more (and in a shorter amount of time) than any therapist I've had before. Kathee is a great therapist.

Kathee is great at offering perspective on the situations I’m going through. She is extremely kind and listens intently. I have seen a lot of growth within myself since I began working with her and I am so grateful to have found a therapist who I mesh well with. Kathee has helped me figure out what is important in my life and has helped get me on a path where I put my feeling and needs first, which is something I have always struggled with. Thankful to be working with her through trauma and the stressors life throws.

Kathee is an incredible therapist. She is attentive, listens extremely well, and is not afraid to challenge thought processes. My growth mentally has been accelerated because of how excellent she is at what she does. I cannot say enough good things about her.

Kathee is extremely knowledgeable about many different issues. She does a wonderful job of explaining the "why" and makes you feel 100% comfortable. Kathee was like talking to an old friend that wanted to check on me. She's amazing and is always so sincere and supportive. 100 out of 10!

She is so accommodating and is always there when needed, she is a great person and therapist

Kathee is a great listener and offers great insight in support of my personal feelings and life events I am dealing with.

I talk about Kathee like she’s my best friend that I can tell anything to. She’s always super helpful and willing to help me get to the bottom of my tough feelings. She’s helped me with a wide variety of stressors in my life and helped me become a better person in the process! I recommend betterhelp to everyone who even hints at the idea of therapy, and tell them that if they get even half as good of a therapist as kathee, they’ll be better off because of it!! :)

Kathee has a way to make you feel like she's known you for a while, which makes it easier for me to communicate with her. And I feel like that is all she needs from her patients to help them out to her full potential, because that's how proficient she is in her profession.

Very empathetic.

She’s awesome! I feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and feelings at any given moment

She is amazing, super helpful, and real with you

Great to talk to and make me comfortable

Kathee is such an awesome therapist! She is very informative, understanding, and helpful. I was dealing with some terrible anxiety and depression. She helped me get onto my road of recovery, and I'm starting to feel so much more happy with life. I don't feel trapped anymore. I can't thank Kathee enough, and I'm so happy I chose her as my therapist.

Kathee has been doing a very good job, and is helping alot in my life, still a long way to go but, for the first time I see a light at the end of the tunnel

Kathee is wonderful, she’s changed my life for the better, and is great at what she does!

Kathee is a wonderful person to have in your corner. She takes the time to listen and understand what is troubling you. Then offers support and guidance to work to either change or accept the situation. Glad I have met her here at Better Help!

Kathee Foxan is a human being. This is far more than I can say for most people. This being said, she speaks to me like a normal person and not like im being vivisected. I find myself eagerly sharing my pain, which for some reason we all hold onto as sacred. This has been a life saving experience, my own my putting pressures on my body to an extent I would not have survived much longer. The promptness of the help really did make all the difference in the world. If nothing else MY world feels saved. I see hope for the first time in ages.

She’s helped me so much!

Kathee is da best ❤️

I have alot of trauma and I've been seeing Kathee for only 2 weeks now. But she has helped me gain insight about myself and help fight off those demons. It'll be a long tough road ahead of me but I'm glad it's Kathee who will be riding this tsunami with me.

She really cares. So much that she says it doesn’t even feel like work to her. She genuinely wants to help people!

Kathee is incredibly kind. Supportive, and helpful. I’ve already recommended the app to others and it truly is because she is so wonderful!

From my first session, Kathee made me comfortable and in a safe place. She is honest and blunt which I needed to open my eyes and see my situation. She also help me to stop clouding my emotions and mental wellbeing for the sake of others. Because of her, I am in a better place. Thank you for leaving a smile and laugh on my face at the end of each session. Highly recommend.

She’s honestly the best. Like I’ve never felt listened to and cared about by a therapist before her. I pay for this service happily for her expertise

I have been feeling quite anxious as I’ve been on a journey with my husband who has been quite sick. In talking with Kathee she makes me feel it’s ok and normal. She replies back quickly and with confidence. I like that.

Kathee is amazing and blunt and tells me things I don’t want to hear and I appreciate that. It allows me inward inspection of myself. She’s also supportive and lifts me up and has helped instill confidence in me.

The only reason I stay on this site is because Kathee isn’t local. She is extremely helpful and the best consular I’ve ever had

I’m only a couple of sessions in with Kathee, but I really do think she’s an amazing person. I had a councillor before where I spent my session crying and left in tears but I leave my sessions with Kathee in laughter. Maybe tears are necessarily sometimes and maybe some tears are to come but I already trust her. She doesn’t make me feel embarrassed or ashamed and even makes me feel normal. I was ready to leave the better help platform but I think I’ll stick at it now for as long as I can afford it. Thank you Kathee.

She checks on me when we haven’t talked in a bit. She’s very understanding cuz sometimes I take a day or two to respond to her message

I’ve been going through a lot in my life and I’m very grateful and thankful for my friend recommending betterhelp. Kathee has helped me through so much and has helped boost my confidence, I feel very comfortable talking about everything thag I’m thinking about or what’s going on in my life.

Life changing!

Kathee is easy to talk to. She listens and shows that she hears you and your concerns. I've had many councellors and therapists that seem to give generic advise and feedback that doesn't connect to me. She is the first therapist or counselor I've had that I actually liked and trusted.

Very understanding and open and is very interested in every way in getting to know you.

She’s helped me so much

She is very understanding, she listens, and if she doesn't get what you are saying, she will ask and not just assume. She has been a huge help to me.

I would just say that kathee is such an amazing person. Everybody needs to talk with her, she is the kindest and helpful person I've ever talked to.

She is very responsive through text and although we’ve only had one phone conversation thus far, it was thought provoking, healing and very helpful. I look forward to talking more about my traumatic past and learning to cope and deal with it moving forward as I do not want this to affect any future relationships or friendships.

Kathee is very interested in helping me to navigate my life, and helps me to feel good about the decisions I’ve made. After talking with her, I feel so much better. I want to continue talking with her for a long time.

I instantly felt better after my first call with Kathee. I noticed the difference and I'm very glad she was assigned to me. She's very patient, she's affirming, and she responds very quickly.

Kathee is the best counsellor I’ve had with BetterHelp. She actually really understands what I want from counselling and provides the exact kind of talk therapy I was looking for

She is one of the best counselors I’ve ever had she’s a great listener and more than once when I’ve had a breakdown she was there on the fly to listen to me and support me give me constructive criticism. I would highly recommend her to anyone

It was great connecting with you Kathee, felt a lot better and light after the session with you

I’ve never had a counselor before in my life and I know that when I’m feeling down I can just message her and she’ll be there
