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

Working with Catrina has been a great experience so far. She really sees my issues and helps me work through past and current traumas. I wanted a therapist who understood lgbtqia issues and I couldn’t be more impressed! I highly recommend her.

So far Catrina is wonderful. She makes me feel very heard and validated and I feel like she understood my concerns right off the bat.

Catrina is amazing...plain and simple. I came to her without knowing what I needed and came out stronger and more confident. My ability to stand in my feelings and make more rational decisions will be something I take with me each day. Thank you!! ❤️

Catrina's made all the difference. All my conventional avenues weren't working and I needed help. This wonderful woman has guided me to places I didn't even know I needed to go. She's very experienced, patient, and has filled the shoes of three others combined. Thank you Better Help

Overall

I’ve never had someone support me and walk me through the shadows of my mind like Catrina did. Every session was heavy but necessary for my journey. I would not have been able to get my mind where it is now, which is in a more secure and safe place, without her help.

Catrina has been great at guiding me and my journey. Would recommend for any LGBT member!

Overall

I have only had 2 sessions with Catrina, but from my experience with her so far, she is easily the best counselor I have ever had. She is very action oriented and understands that I am as well. Because of this, we're able to come up with plans on how to improve my current situation. I get "homework" between sessions and it helps me stay accountable in maintaining my mental health. Things are finally starting to look okay. I'm glad I have her as my therapist.

J.D.·Jun 14, 2021

Overall

In our two sessions, I have felt more comfortable opening up about myself than I have with anyone. I am so thankful that I was paired with her. She listens and genuinely cares about me and what I have to say.
