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

Claudette is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. She's kind, patient, empathetic, wise, and really everything someone would want in a counselor. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She's changed my life for the better in ways I can't even describe!

Claudette is wonderful!

Amazing therapist, listener and person. Thank you.

Claudette is just what I needed. I’m so glad she came into my life. She asks the tough questions and I really appreciate her !

I see a lot of personal growth in myself after attending my sessions with Claudette. She not only helped me open up, she taught me how to express my feelings without fear. She helped me structurize my reactions and emotions to a given circumstance in life and I am now able to find my own solutions without getting absorbed into the emotions. I am now able to keep my emotions out of the way I find solutions to my life issues which means my mental health is getting stronger and I feel motivated to live my life peacefully.

Claudette provides an incredibly inviting and understanding atmosphere. Even over the phone, I truly feel heard and respected. She supports my growth, and I genuinely feel as though she is invested in my goals. I would highly recommend Claudette.

Claudette is incredible. She's thoughtful, a great listener, encouraging, kind and very empathetic. I could not recommend her enough.

Claudette Gaynor is very professional and knowledgeable. I really appreciate her help!

Claudette is my favorite therapist!

Claudette is awesome. I practice the exercises that she recommends daily.

She’s amazing, I wish I could put into words how helpful she’s been to my mental health.

Claudette is the perfect therapist for me!!! She is keenly attuned to my personal needs and goals, and has shown me several ways to process things that I didn't know about before. Because of Claudette, I have recommended BetterHelp to several others. Extraordinary!!!

She's the best!

Claudette has been a very good fit for me. She listens and offers solutions and practices that are very helpful. I look forward to more sessions with Claudette

Claudette is kind, attentive, non judgemental and incredibly wise. I feel supported speaking with her and immensely appreciate her guidance.

I've been working with Claudette for about 6 months and she's been lovely! I've had no reason or want to change therapists and have found healing with her. I look forward to continuing my therapy alongside her!

I have noticed a lot of growth since starting my sessions with Claudette. She helps me to reframe my thinking and let go of the stories I've been telling myself that hold me back. I appreciate the way she offers suggestions and encourages me to stay open to possibilities. I look forward to continuing this journey with her as my therapist.

Claudette is extremely thoughtful in her responses and they are not biased. She asks me challenging questions even if she already knows the answer. She helps me grow. Her perspectives are also insightful and powerful and I 100% trust her.

Claudette is incredibly knowledgeable. Her explanations of different concepts really helped me understand my emotions and reactions. I’m very grateful to have had some sessions with her over the past few months. I highly recommend Claudette if you have the opportunity to book sessions with her!

Claudette is compassion and she has helped me a lot through my difficult times and help me reach my goals through a variety of methods and exercises

Claudette is simply the best! Even when I take breaks from therapy, I can't wait to come back to get help and advice from her. She gets me and always knows what to say.

She is competent and caring, I would be stuck in a depressed loop whiteout her help and exercise.

She is a great listener! She is intuitive and kind. She helps me see things in ways I had not thought of. I am discovering me.

Claudette Is amazing. Calm and caring. I definitely recommend her.

Claudette is so comforting and easy to talk to. Even after one, I felt relaxed and capable. I’ve recommended the site to two others, so far. I feel safe and heard.

Compassionate and thoughtful.

Have been working almost weekly with Claudette and have been enjoying our sessions together.

Claudette is a fantastic therapist!!! She listens non-judgmentally and has excellent insights that I find extremely helpful. She also has recommended several videos and books that she thinks are appropriate to my experience. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Claudette is a companionate person and pushes me to think about things to better process my feelings. I appreciate her and how she is helping me through my thoughts and feelings.

Claudette has helped me more than I can put into words. She has been gentle with tough topics and guides the conversation in such a kind and effective way. I’ve worked with a handful of therapists over the years but have never had so many “aha!” moments or break throughs with mental blocks. She leads in such a exceptional way and I’m so grateful to have met her.

Claudette is sensitive, receptive and gives sound advice, extra resources and sets clear goals and therapy direction. Checks in and keeps me accountable. She's someone you want in your corner. Thank you Claudette!

Claudette is a miracle worker, so many “aha” moments during our discussions. She has really helped me change my mindset for the better.

Claudette Gaynor is an incredible therapist in many respects. She is kind, empathetic, intelligent and poignant with her words and observations. Claudette is both a listening ear and a wise teacher. I would highly recommend to Claudette.

She is awesome!

Claudette has been transformative. I have been so privileged to work with her.

She is great in what she does. I am totally satisfied in her expertise.

Claudette is fantastic. She is wise, kind and truly hears you.

Claudette has been great to work with. Looking forward to working with her more.

Working with Claudette was one of the best experiences of my life. It helped me immensely and I will be forever grateful for being matched with her. She was always respectful, understanding and encouraging. She is an angel sent among us!

Just getting started but so far it's been a great experience.

She is a great therapy i can see huge change in me already

She’s the best.

love my membership

Claudette understands my problems and where I am on my journey. She taylors my sessions to what my primary concerns are. She is helping me cope with my situation and providing tools I can practice throughout the week.

It is my first time trying out therapy and I am so beyond happy to have found a therapist like Claudette. She's so kind, attentive and professional. She gives off a very calm aura that makes me feel very comfortable and safe. Claudette gives me all the space in the world to speak my mind and she also gives me concrete tools to work on my issues each session. I would 100% recommend her !

Ive noticed a huge change and improvement in myself. I recommended her to a bunch of people. I do hope they decide to book. This is the best experience ive had with therapy. No judgement, listens and is very interactive. Im so glad I took the steps to get therapy but even more glad I have Ms. Gaynor helping me along this journey.

Wonderful therapist and person.

Claudette has been a brilliant therapist and I feel like I've made more progress than I hoped by working with her. She has great patience but also knows when to challenge my thought processes in the right way. I felt comfortable enough to talk to her about things that I've never shared with anyone before and would recommend her very highly. Thanks for everything Claudette and keep up the great work!

This was my second time trying therapy through BetterHelp and I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Claudette is understanding, helpful, and simply wonderful in her way of approaching situations. She has equipped me with an invaluable array of tools and resources that have helped me with my mental health and that I am sure will continue to help me in my journey of healing from within. I am so glad we got to meet, I will be forever grateful!!!

She is the exactly right therapist for me. She has helped me think through life changing decisions while providing me tools and support to make those decisions for myself.

Claudette is a truly kind person who inspired me to connect with an inner peacefulness and focus on what is important to me. She helped me identify and put aside old believs and thought patterns that I was clinging on to, and taught me skills to let them go.

Claudette is an incredible therapist. She makes me feel seen, validated, and understood, while also giving me tools to help with anxiety, and fear.

It's been a great pleasure to talk to Claudette. She really listens to me and knows my concern. She is professional, wise, compassionate and friendly. I feel that i can always trust her and share with her about my emotions and thoughts. I definitely recommend Claudette!

Claudette is empathetic, kind, resourceful, action focused and a wonderful listener! I feel relieved to have her in this practice!

I absolutely love Claudette, her ability to help in the most natural way, and would recommend her to everyone. She helped me in my lowest times, she listened, understood, helped me to calm down when needed, and offered countless resources for me to learn to manage by myself. She helped me to build my awareness and find techniques to turn to when I am struggling, but also practices that I believe will help me to continue with my progress even without our weekly sessions (although I will miss her a lot!). I cannot be more grateful.

Claudette is incredible. She’s wise and empathetic, but also calls me out on my nonsense. I can’t recommend her enough.

Claudette is great - she really helps me, guides me through different ways how to deal with stuff, introduced me to meditation and overall is a really good counselor.

CLAUDETTE IS VERY ATTENTIVE AND KIND. RESPECTFUL AND NON JUDGEMENTAL. SHE LISTENS AND ALLOWS ME TO COME TO MY OWN UNDERSTAND. SHE DOESN'T SAY WHAT I WANT HEAR. SHE GUIDES ME AND SAYS WHAT I NEED TO HEAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Thank you for everything that you have done for me.

I would recommend anyone to have a talk with Claudette, in good or in bad times. Intelligent and compassionate person. Very good listener and capable to explore and discuss problems at a practical/pragmatic as well as philosophical level. I feel comfortable talking to her and I feel that she is very experienced.

Over the few months that Claudette has helped me, I feel I have made immense progress. She is kind and caring but honest. She will be there to listen and support but she will also confront you and teach you to confront your own behaviour. I am extremely grateful for Claudette and for everything she has taught me and helped me learn about myself. I am eternally thankful for her.

I can absolutely recommend Claudette and say only the positives about her: she is always very kind and patient with my concerns. She works with both short and long term in mind: addressing any immediate pain points while working towards long term goals at the same time. She is a keen listener who is able to provide practical and compassionate advice

I have really benefited from my sessions with Claudette. My family have noted a change in my attitude and how I’m working on myself. I attribute this to Claudettes guidance and counsel.

I’ve tried many counsellors over the years and Claudette is by far the best. She has really helped me look deeper and my life has improved because of her.

Claudette is incredible. She cuts through the crap and tells it like it is, but without making you feel stupid. She’s dependable and wise and I feel blessed to have found her.

Claudette is the best therapist I could have asked For. She is caring, understanding while also knowing how to keep me focused on my mental health goals. Every time I speak to her, I feel more centered afterwards.

Claudette is great. It hasn't been that long since we started to talk but I find it really helpful.

Claudette has been more than a therapist, she feels like a spiritual guide. Guiding me through this thing called life and my beautiful mess. She made me see that I should sometimes put my needs first and when I did that the healing truly began. Her presence in my life is truly a blessing.

Claudette gave me just the guidance I needed. I'm grateful for her tactfulness in holding me accountable while also being supportive. Thank you!

Claudette has been beyond beneficial in helping me learn mechanisms to address my anxiety in all the different ways it manifests itself in my life. She is encouraging, and always meets me exactly where I am in the journey, but give me the tough love when it's necessary. I've been working with Claudette for 6 months.

Realy helpfull!

Claudette has been great she gets back to me sometimes right away. Gives me good tools to use to help with my situations. She's caring and I would recommend her thank you Claudette

Very knowledgable and truly listens and understands!

Claudette listens without judgement even to the smallest of issues and gives them the appropriate weight and importance. She has helped me know myself.

Claudette is an amazing counsellor and person. She has helped me tremendosly in the last few months. She taught me several coping skills and made me see the world through different perspectives. I can't thank her enough for her help, and I would recommend therapy with Claudette to everyone struggling with depression, anxiety or just going through a hard time in life.

Claudette is amazing. She listens to me and selects appropriate tasks to help me develop.

Claudette is kind, empathetic, insightful, and a great listener. She embeds mindfulness techniques into every session, which is exactly what I needed. She truly listens to me, and offers differing perspectives and ways of viewing my situations. I wanted someone who set me worksheets and exercises between sessions, and she has already provided me with really helpful tools to use in my life. She helps me hold myself accountable for my own wellbeing, and I would recommend her to every one of my friends and family!

10000% recommend Claudette. She is a great listener, and has gotten me to reprogram my way of viewing things in the outside world to work towards my goals. I'm leaps and bounds above where I was emotionally and mentally when compared to a few months ago. It's showing in the way I interact with people.

Claudette has been incredible in her perception of underlying issues. She takes time to explore and does not miss the smallest of details. Her approach is making an impact already after a few weeks.

Claudette is great at meeting you where you are. She is really excellent at knowing when to give you gentle reassurance or push you a bit harder to do the work on yourself. It’s only been a couple of weeks but she’s already learned a lot about me and has provided incredibly insightful comments and support. She answers messages really quickly and signposts so many helpful resources. Thank you Claudette!

I’ve only been with Claudette for about 3 weeks now, and from the get go it was about tackling the main issues I’m experiencing. Claudettes approach to kind of get things done is definitely needed and much appreciated because it leads me to certain conclusions that I would not come to on my own. She is supportive, listens and gives a genuinely interesting perspective on how to change our own perspectives.

Claudette is really caring and understoodh issues perfectly. With her sessions I can see that I'm on the road to a speedy recovery.

Claudette is wise, kind, empathetic, and very professional. I'm grateful for her strength and resilience in hard times--she is a role model for me.

Since I've started counseling with Claudette, it generated an incredible amount of confidence in myself and it tampered my anxiety considerably because she knows what to do with my issues. Nowadays, mindfulness and living in the present are progressively becoming part of my daily life. I would recommend her anytime! Thank you for your help, Claudette.

Claudette has a no-bullshit attitude in the most compassionate way. She's helping me acknowledge some areas of myself that I've been unable to fully sit with on my own. We've only had a few sessions, but I am very happy with the services I've received thus far and would highly recommend.
