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.

After an extremely difficult family situation Dr, Maliks advice, support and insights have been of great value and importance. My conversations with her has prevented me from possibly becoming worse and is helping me to better understand myself.

Overall

Right off the bat what I like about Dr Malik is how clearly experienced she is. With anything we've talked about so far, first and foremost she empathises with many different people and life situations. She also asks thought-provoking questions more than other therapists, so she seems pretty wise. But the reason I have stuck with Dr Malik is that she's the most easy-going and laid-back wise listener out of all the 10 therapists I've seen. She expresses no pressure or judgement with her responses, advice, body language or even facial expressions. Based on my experience I'm sure that Dr Malik has more experience than most with helping people face very difficult emotions or issues such as addiction, rage or family conflict.

Anila Malik has been very understanding and compassionate with me. Sometimes there are difficult subjects that I don't want to hear and she just is patient with me until I hear her.

Dr. Malik is very gentle and understanding. She truly listens and shares relevant and interesting resources. After working with her for several months, I feel that she helped me grow and move past some issues that I was dealing with, and would highly recommend her as a therapist.

Overall

When I first started therapy, everyday of my life was defined by my anxiety and depression even when everything was fine. After working with Anila for a few months, I feel like my life has changed. My anxiety and depression have become things I may encounter from time to time but they do not control me. Anila has helped me ground my thoughts in reality and given me the tools to feel so much more stable. She is incredibly empathetic and comforting to speak to. I cannot recommend her enough.

Anila Malik was a good listener and could relate to me since we come from similar backgrounds. I appreciate her giving me advice and asking me if I was okay when I didn't look okay. I also found the worksheets helpful.

When i began with betterhelp i was a little worried it was not going to be effective for me since its virtual and i prefer speaking in person to someone. My councillor made the experience very good and welcoming for me, i enjoyed it a lot and was able to ask any question i needed and got an amazing helpful response back.

I'd thank the moment that I've been matched with Dr. Anila Malik & thank her for the great support and help she gave me. Before starting counseling with Dr. Anila I was a frustrated person with a storm of negative thoughts in her mind, and now I became a new person. Dr. Anila, is a very kind person, supportive and cooperator person. I feel satisfy to tell her all your problems. From now, whatever I face a problem Dr. Anila will be there to help. Thank you very very much Dr. Anila Malik & thank you BetterHelp for this great service.

I feel like she really cares and listens to me. She’s not all about talk therapy . She actually listens to you and then send you homework for you to do so that you can actually work through your issues not just talk about them. I really like her style and hope to work with her for as long as I need to :)
