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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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

Rev Cheek is a very caring person who listens to me about my concerns. She always gives me ways to handle them. Between sessions she sends me messages of encouragement.

I have only met with her once but she helped me a lot with the first meeting So grateful for her

Sharon was my first ever therapist and has been really great to work with. She has helped me unpack things and she always has tools ready to help me develop skills to grow and handle situations as they come up. What I appreciate most about her is that she remembers details from past calls and gives very direct advice which I often need. She’s a great counselor and has a great personality

Mrs. Cheek, thank you so much. I was coming to do the therapy, but I was texting it because I never believed in therapy. I am from Africa, but you proved me wrong. I already have two more people to join therapy after they hear and see my outcome. Now I have confidence, and I don't blame myself for the divorce. After you explain to me, I feel like a huge weight taken out of my shoulder. Thank you!

Rev. Cheek’s demeanor is calming and warm. She listens carefully to what you’re saying and gives you solid and simple guidance related to your conversation without force. Her responses helps you to think about how you can do better with your situation along with the tools she’s gives you to use.

Incredibly kind and supportive. A very calming presence with so much wisdom.

Amazing!

Rev Cheek is a very caring person who meets my needs.

Amazing therapist! Love her greats vibes and energy!

Rev. Cheek is an excellent therapist. She is a good listener and responds in a very positive way. She sends me short message between sessions which means a lot to me! I am blessed to have her in my life!

So far, Rev Cheek has been wonderful.

I only had to have one session with her to know she was going to be wonderful to talk to.

I've only been seeing Rev Cheek for a couple weeks now and I already feel comfortable talking to her. She is a great listener and really helps me get my rambling under control. I feel really lucky to have been matched with her. Looking forward to talking to her and learning more from her.

Rev. Cheek is the best therapist I've worked with to date! Her approach is kind and welcoming and gives you the feeling that she genuinely cares. I've met with many therapists over the years and chose not to continue sessions due to incompatibility. I immediately felt comfortable opening up to Rev Cheeks. I will definitely seek her services in the future!

Rev. Cheek is so easy to talk to. She listens. She doesn't interrupt me, she just listens. Her words of wisdom are well thought out, and her gentle, caring manner is a welcomed change. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

Dr. Cheek is a very caring person. She listens and offers strategies that help me. I look forward to our sessions each week. I am so glad she is my therapist!

Rev. Cheek is attentive and takes time to check in without prompting to make sure I am doing well. She asks great questions and provides great perspectives that help me see things in a new way. I highly recommend Rev. Cheek!

Excellent Therapist

I have been with Rev Cheek for about a year. I would definitely recommend her to my friends & colleagues. She has over 20 years of experience which is a definite plus.

The time I talked to her, she was great! Unfortunately times that are available to me aren’t times she has open so that’s the only reason I’m looking for someone else. Dr Cheek was lovely!

I’d like to write a better review later after I have more to say since we are just getting into things. However, so far I think she is lovely. I came to her with some very numerous and rare health conditions that I’m having a hard time coping with being diagnosed with and that didn’t scare her (so far) and she’s always reminded me I have a strong testimony. This is refreshing compared to previous therapists who didn’t really want to deal with “health anxiety” and just kind of blew me off. I’m excited to start using the techniques she’s versed in and applying them to my own unique situation. I know with her help, my thought process can be more positive and rational and I can’t enjoy life a little more.

Rev Cheek is amazing. My reservation is how clunky the Better Help app is. It often freezes and the video/ phone calls often are glitchy.

Rev. Cheek is warm and kind. She was quickly able to take in my concerns and worries and repeat them back to me in a way that showed she heard and understood. She gave me many useful tools and pieces of advice that I will carry with me on my mental health journey.

Rev. Cheek is very insightful, wise, down to earth and is able to help you get to the root of the matter. I’m so thankful to have her as a therapist. She is also a terrific listener! I highly recommend her.

Rev. Cheek has been a Godsend in my life. She lifts me up and sets me down on a pragmatic path at the same time. She is able to get to the heart of issues and give me sound, spiritual direction amidst the ambiguity in my life. I’m grateful for her!

I truly value her opinion and guidance.

Rev Cheek has been very helpful and responsive to my issues ans concerns.

Rev. Cheek is great to work with. She takes her time and listens to my concerns. She also asks follow up questions to help provide additional insight. She helps me to see things from a different perspective.

Very good

Rev. Cheek was able to guide me when I was confused

I highly recommend Rev Cheek. I initially was matched with a different therapist that fell asleep on me a couple of times during therapy and was very unhelpful. I switched to Rev Cheek and I’m glad I did. I highly recommend her. I appreciated her check in messages as well after therapy. She listened to my concerns without being judge-mental.

Rev. Cheek is a compassionate and caring listener.

She is so understanding and helpful

So far so good and a Pleasant person to speak with

Reverend Cheek is outstanding. She not only immediately understood my concerns and conditions, but also was able to immediately suggest impactful remedies, and adapt them as I've progressed.

She really listens to me!

Rev. Cheek is a great listener and she gives me a good boost when I need it. She answers all of my questions and concerns and she is very respectful and professional.

Rev. Cheek has made my first experience with therapy amazing!

Rev. Cheek is knowledgeable and understanding. She is insightful and encouraging. She truly helped change my life.

Rev. Cheek is very approachable, easy to communicate with. She has given me sound, and helpful suggestions that I can apply between sessions. She has a calming way about her. I feel we are just beginning....

From day one, Rev. Cheek has been a the best therapist I could have asked for. Even in our first few sessions, I felt a part of my mind relax in a way it never has in any therapy I've tried before. She always listens to what I have to say, and has challenged my ways of thinking about myself and my circumstances in ways that are not only respectful, but helpful. She checks in to make sure I'm okay, and the strategies she's given me have been invaluable. Thank you Rev. Cheek for everything. ~Peace

Rev. Cheek is very supportive and understanding. She always has good advice and techniques. She has a special aura that radiates and soothes me everytime!

She approaches therapy with a kind and nonjudgmental heart. My sessions so far have been great for validating my struggles and she offers practical insight as well as biblical insight when asked for.

Rev Cheek listen to what I needed and has been working with me to that end. Others I spoke with prior wanted to design their own solution to my problem instead of listening to what my needs were! I'm thankful to have found her!

My personal friends who practice are taken back when I tell them I reached out to betterhelp.com. Between the pandemic's ever changing rules of engagement/non-engagement and living in a small-ish town, I just feel more comfortable here and Sharon is wonderful.

Sharon has been amazing! We don’t have too much together but I feel good being able to speak what’s on my mind and she offers a lot of insight to me. I feel the comfort of her spirit and she is truly wonderful at her job!

Very helpful and provides me with many ways in order to help myself and work together through therapy.

Thank you for being available to help me!

I am a completely different person from who I was six weeks ago. I am learning things that I can take from sessions and apply in my everyday life. I am not retraumatizing myself in therapy anymore, I am building myself.

Rev. Cheek has helped me to identify and work through my issues in a compassionate, patient, and helpful manner. She is very personable, helping me to voice my challenges. I appreciate how she asks tough but needed questions and provides resources for practical coping skills.

She is THE BEST !!!!! Great instincts and really hears you - she has really helped change my thinking to be more positive !

i feel like I am talking to Am auntie and really Getting the help I need. Love her.

Kind but is able to make me see myself and make progress with my life goals

She is an effective and compassionate listener who provides just the right amount and type of guidence to steer you in your self exploration of your issues. Her strong serene presence on video calls is soothing and calming. I look forward to working with Rev Cheek on an ongoing basis to gain insights and address my problems.

When she speaks, her words are powerful, motivating and cause introspective reflection that allows you to see you.

Great woman and the biggest help I’ve had so far!! Couldn’t ask for a better counselor. Almost wish she was part of the family. Appreciate her a lot!

Ms Sharon, was so helpful. I am disappointed the app doesn’t allow you to send a goodbye message before your subscription expires but I really appreciated Ms Sharon. If so, I appreciate all your help as it really gave me help with some tools and I felt supported in my journey. If I am able to come back I can hopefully work with her again.

Rev. Cheek is a rare gem. She truly cares about me and my well-being. She listens intently and always provides me with tools that help me to reach my goals. I have learned and grown so much during the time I’ve been seeing Rev. Cheek. I cannot recommend her enough.

I simply love Sharon. I feel like I'm talking to my mom or my aunt. She is so understanding and let me talk/express what I'm feeling. She enlightened the things that I didn't take serious or chose to ignore before (without hurting my feelings). She taught me how important the self-love is. <3 <3 <3

I've only met with Rev. Cheek once, but she has already pinpointed the root of my anxiety! I can't wait to learn more and completely have my anxiety under control.

Rev.Cheek surely has the expertise and experience needed to help anyone get out of any puddle they are in and to work through it without feeling judged. I believe in her and look forward to each session with her because I know she believes me

Rev. Cheek is insightful, encouraging and full of wisdom. I enjoy every season we have together and am so grateful for her guidance.

Sharon has been a great resource to me as I explore cognitive therapy to help mitigate my anxiety and emotional challenges. I look forward to our weekly calls and she allows willing to lend advice. As I continue to work with her, I am hopeful she will equip me with the tools to manage my overall emotional state.

I just want to say thank you to Rev. Cheek, she has been wonderful to work with, super easy to talk to and helped me realize a lot about my own life! If you have the chance to work with her I would tell you to take it!

Rev. Cheek has been such a positive guide for me. In only a short span of time, I’ve made huge strides in my mindset and ability to take one day at a time. I’ve never been a super positive person, stuck in negative cycles that I’ve struggled to get out of. Rev. Cheek listened, affirmed, and guided me to what is a much more positive mindset. I see and think more clearly, challenges feel possible to move through, it’s such a powerful feeling that I never thought I’d have and I am grateful for Rev. Cheeks help! Outside of our sessions, she also sent powerful, motivating quotes throughout the week which always seemed to come at just the right moment. I would highly recommend!

I think she is phenomenal.

Rev. Cheek has an approachable, empathetic manner that is welcoming and warm. She is intuitive, an active listener, and adept at honing in on very applicable, practical ways to help. Excellent!

Sharon is an amazing person to talk to, she actively listens to what is being discussed and has such an amazingly friendly aura. It's a pleasure to have these sessions and so easy to open up! Thanks Sharon

Sharon (Rev. Cheek) is a breath of fresh air. She has an abiding warmth that soothes your soul. She is an excellent listener who asks thoughtful follow-up questions. You just know from moment one that you're in the presence of a healer.

Rev. Cheek is uniquely helpful. She has made me think in certain ways that I never thought about. I’ve been practicing certain techniques and they have really helped me with my relationships. Thank you so much!

Great listener and very empathetic
