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.

She is caring and supportive to my needs. She is experienced and knowledgeable about her practice. She includes helpful and prayerful exercises for me to participate in. I have benefited from the homework. I have learned about my trauma and how it will not go away but I can live with it. I am learning what triggers me and my reactions and behavior that no longer serve me. I am learning to live with who I am. Thank you Vencia for your guidance.

Dec 21, 2022

Overall

I immediately felt comfortable with Venecia. She is kind and gentle and very in tune with what I’m feeling. I have both child and adult trauma , trust and abandonment issues and I’m codependent! I was broken when I came to her. In just 2 sessions I feel alive again. She uses a variety of methods that opened my eyes to how I was reacting to my circumstances, and showed me how to make positive changes . She always validates my feelings and I always feel heard. I would normally have a huge wall up, but I can be vulnerable with Venecia, without feeling judged or alone. She recognizes the strengths in me that I thought were lost, and she has found strengths in me that I never knew I had. I am beyond thrilled with my progress since meeting her. She is amazing!!

I learned so much about myself and mental health during our weekly sessions. I enjoyed all the various tools I could use to help me on my journey and I continue to apply most of them to this day. I'm forever grateful I had Venecia as my counselor and that BetterHelp introduced me to an amazing human being!

Counselor Venecia Ebneof is undoubtedly a BetterHelp Star Power! She is very in tuned and attuned to my mental health issues and concerns. She has helped me define and declare my own personal boundaries and has helped me distinguish distortions from reality. Counselor Venecia has given me various innovative and cutting edge tools to re-purpose my life, including videos, worksheets, and adjustable goal setting markers for self measure and to affirm my progress. Counselor Venecia also is sensitive to my culturally relevant concerns and I appreciate her depth of knowledge and experience in this area. I have been in and out of traditional and alternative versions of therapy most of my adult life i.e., walking over hot coals, having my palms read, jumping down fire poles, etc. and I must say that downloading the BetterHelp app and being matched with Counselor Venecia has been the best and most affordable gift I have given to myself in a long time.
