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

Tom is a great therapist very understanding and a great listener. I enjoy our sessions

Tom has been extremely helpful to me. I have been able to process thru some difficult situations.

Tom was a good match for me. His questions prompt me to consider things I hadn't previously. His demeanor is calm and non-judgemental. I believe this is helping me but it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Tom is a great listener and has a host of life experience applicable to those he talks to including myself.

Dr Stewart has been very helpful in my meetings with him. We have many connections outside of our topic area making it much easier to talk in a more relaxed setting

Good listener and good advice thanks

Thomas has been great during a particularly trying period of my life. I strongly recommend him as a therapist.

Great

I only recently started counseling with Tom Stewart. So far very good

Thomas is a wise man does a very good job listening and giving advice. I recommend him to anyone that would like to do online counseling.

Wonderful counselor

Tom is very supportive and a great listener, he really lets me everything off my chest, and he knows the give-and-take of the therapy relationship like the back of his hand. He’s fantastic and I highly recommend his services.

Understands me and listens to me. He is always helping me to feel better and giving me ways to cope through my hard times.

I’m very happy with my decision on getting better help. Everything has been great.

Thomas is very understanding and well qualified as a therapist especially for gay men

Thomas is very understanding and compassionate, sponsors a helpful conversation about what's going on and where to go with current issues. I appreciate the suggestions made in an effort to improve / resolve the current issues that I'm addressing. My gratitude extend to both Thomas and to Better Help.

Tom is a wonderful therapist and has a wealth of experience in his field. His approach to care is straightforward and his suggestions and guidance have been invaluable as I try to navigate many changes in my life. I enjoy our therapy sessions immensely and always look forward to meeting with him.

Thomas is wonderful and I highly recommend him.

Can’t appreciate my therapist more then anything he is always listening and giving good advise and just makes you feel wanted

I've only had a few sessions with Dr. Stewart, but so far he's been incredible. I've had less stellar past experiences with therapy, but he really put me at ease with asking about what I want to achieve with therapy and with giving strong advice to help with it. It really feels like he listens.

Tom has been an outstanding therapist. He has really helped me through some tough times and is always there to listen and give great advice. He’s helped me learn healthier coping mechanisms and really has helped me battle my anxiety. Hands down best therapist!!

Great therapist

He is an amazing person to talk to and listen and just all around amazing.

Kind, patient and incorporates humor into our discussions. I enjoy our talks.

Tom has a lot of experience in a number of areas of life. I have appreciated being able to go over a range of lifes difficulties without feeling like I would need to meet with multiple to get the support I need for different things. His communication and listening skills are unmatched to 5 other counselors I've had within a 15 year range. He has a great deal of empathy and understanding and is very easy to talk to. He's had a number of helpful suggestions that have not left me feeling pushed in any direction. He is dilligent about communicating and accomodating schedule changes. I would 100% reccomend Tom to a friend/stranger and anyone in between.

He is an awesome person to talk to and very understanding.

Perfect therapist for me and my needs, great to talk to, gives helpful feedback

I was apprehensive using an app to find a therapist for my needs. The match with Tom Stewart was better than I expected. I was very pleased with his wealth of knowledge and guidance. I recommend giving the app a try if you are considering seeing a therapist.

I definitely recommend Tom as a therapist. He not only was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable but also validated my experiences and made me feel heard. He also goes the extra mile to ensure that any issues I have are addressed and fully accounted for. He's also a wonderful storyteller :) I can't thank him enough for his wisdom and patience.

Thomas is a wonderful therapist that listens to you and gives very reasonable feedback. He has a lot of experience with sexual assault and learning disorders which have been very helpful

Thomas is a great listener and makes really solid suggestions on how to move forward through situations.

I was going through some emotional problems all alone is a new and completely different country than my home country. Thomas helped me and supported me to overcome the problem. It is already very overwhelming to move to a new country and with the problems that I was facing, it was very taxing emotionally. However, Thomas was very patient and kind and understood my problems. Sessions with him helped me get back on track again.

He is so understanding and thoughtful. He is respectful and just makes you feel worth it.

Thomas has been extremely helpful with the dialogue we share during our sessions. It has given me immense hope that I can get through the things I’ve been struggling with. I would highly recommend his services

He is great guy that will not make light of you’re situation but make you laugh during the process and really uplift you’re spirit. Really easy to talk too about anything and everything.I really look towed to our meetings cause i know I will always get some good out of it !

Tom is definitely the No.1 counselor in my opinion. Tom helped me realize what the real underlying problem was in such a safe and peaceful way. He was very open and kind while listening in a friend-like manner. The sessions weren't a one-way communication as I thought it would be. It's not just about speaking out about your problems and him providing the solution, that is. He really stands next to you at your level to just provide the tools and needed guidance so that you can "walk out the woods". With his help, I am myself again. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is lost or needs someone to talk to.

Thomas is an amazing counselor. He always makes me feel welcomed and relaxed. He also makes me feel comfortable being my self around him. He is just an awesome person.

Tom's broad range of experience and the way he can apply his learnings to so many situations has been so relieving and helpful. I've had a number of therapists throughout years and while they have all been helpful in some ways and area's I've found that many of them have strengths and weaknesses of area's that become apparent and wishing you had someone else to visit with when some particulars come up. I've yet to find such with Tom. Tom has a very calm tone and inviting personality that makes him easy to talk to which is paramount when you are looking for help . His knowledge and expertise shine through in his responses. He's timely and explorative without leaving you feeling probed or not understood but rather that when you are discussing things with you he's truly invested and wants to understand exactly how you are experiencing something not just relying on assumption of correctness. His compassion and empathy are invaluable in making you feel supported. While he obviously takes his craft seriously his heart is light and he's good for a laugh and smile as well.

He is very empathetic and a good listener. I felt very confident discussing my problems with him.

Thomas Stewart has been very helpful. We appreciate his careful understanding of our family dynamics. Also, his appreciation of the difficulties patenting children in the pandemic public school system. We’re working as a family to stay strong and engage/spend time together in the most positive ways.

I'd 100% recommend Thomas to friends if it didn't mean we then had the same counselor. But a 5 star review for anyone else wondering!
