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

Great listener !!! I love talking and working with her !!

Therapy with Deborah has been great. She’s helped me work through various issues and been with me on my journey.

This was my first time participating in therapy. Even though I was very nervous to begin this journey and anxious about who I would be paired with, Dr Deboraha Johnson is an excellent match for me. She is very easy to talk to and she listens to my concerns without being judgmental. I feel supported and guided (not pushed) along this healing process. Patient and understanding, her wealth of experience is evident in our discussions and I look forward to our weekly therapy sessions.

Ms. Deborah is attentive, flexible, takes impeccable notes, is nurturing while objective, stays on therapeutic mission, and most importantly asks terrific followup and journaling questions that help me be introspective, ‘do the work’ and maintain fidelity to my therapeutic journey! My time with her has been GREAT!

Amazing

Deboraha Johnson was extremely helpful in assisting me with my relationship issues. I've never felt judged by her and I loved that she provided actionable steps for me to follow as I pursue new romantic relationships. Thank you Deboraha!

I have been in therapy with Deborah for a little over two months now and I can confidently say that it has had a significant impact on my overall mental health and wellbeing. She is a great listener, and challenges me in a healthy way. She asks the important questions and respects my thoughts and decisions. This is my first therapy experience and I am very grateful that it happened to be with Deborah.

Ms.Deborah cracked me open during session 1! I was not expecting that level of intensity from the first session, but I'm here to do the WORK of HEALING! GAME ON!

Deboraha is great.

Ms Johnson is a good listener. I love that she is organized

Deboraha is an excellent listener and very easy to talk to. She’s helped me through a lot the last 5 months, through giving me tools and feedback to work through my issues and move forward.

Deboraha has been just what I have needed just at this moment. She brings her expertise, excellent listening skills, and thoughtful exploration to the table. I’ve been feasting and feeling the positive impact!

She is an understanding person, warm and caring. She made me feel comfortable talking about the issues I am having and guiding me to approach that issues with my own capabilities. Assisting me establishing healthy boundaries between parents, myself and spouse. Great therapist!

Deboraha Johnson is an active listener, and accurately reflects back to me all the details & nuances of the issues I have brought to her in therapy. Meanwhile, she helps me keep in focus the big picture of my goals for this stage of my life. Her observations and advice are well thought out, based on extensive experience with therapy and with life, and given to me in an objective and compassionate way. Thank you Deboraha! And, I have already recommended Better Help to several people a) reasonable cost b) very convenient - video or phone or text c) ability to ask for another therapist if the chemistry or the match is not right for you d) reminders to write in Journal--VERY helpful e) reliable, timely service Thanks for this!

I've had therapy in the past and whilst it wasn't bad, it was never as great as with Deboraha. She provided you with feedback, doesn't just ask you questions but has actual conversations with you that lead you to think and question your thoughts. She is an intelligent woman with lots of experience and in depth knowledge in the field of therapy. Anyone who gets to work with her should consider themselves lucky.

Deboraha is a great therapist and my first experience with her was so profound and relaxing. I enjoyed talking to her and her hearing out my concerns and troubles. I am looking forward to working with her more.

Deboraha was my first experience with a licensed therapist, and she made this experience very positive for me. I felt heard and respected, and it did not take me long to feel that I could trust her with my problems. The past three months she has helped me figure out my emotions, given me tips on how to improve my relationship from within myself, and been there to guide me along the path of finding more of my true self. I am grateful to have had her by my side.

Professional, easy to communicate with and keeps me on track. I always feel well listened to and that I am making progress.

Although I have only had two video sessions with Deboraha so far, I feel I have gotten so much more out of these two sessions with her than I have with any other therapist in my past. I feel comfortable sharing exactly how I am doing without sugar-coating and I feel very confident in the advice she is giving me. She responds to my messages very quickly and even sends me messages when she doesn't hear from me for a bit to check-in and to see how I am doing and remind me to write in my journal. She is patient, kind, excellent at listening to everything I have to say and then taking from it the deeper message/what I am really feeling. I am so glad I started Betterhelp and was matched with Deboraha.

Deborah has been amazing. She helped me resolve some family issues and really transformed my way of thinking. Her approach is calm reflecting wide knowledge and experience. I am truly grateful.

Deboraha is being great. I feel confident when I talk to her, she directs the therapy really well and makes me feel understood.

Deboraha was my first therapist ever. She helped me a lot with dealing with my grief. She would nudge me in the right direction at the right time. She is a great listener and I felt very comfortable opening up to her from the get-go. It was a pleasure and most importantly the sessions with her helped put me in a much better place than where I was before.

Deboraha is a great listener, advisor, provide wise guidance and gives room for the client to reflect on their own words. I appreciate her efforts and time. Her homework is never too overwhelming.

First therapist experience and Deboraha made it not as daunting as I initially thought.

Deboraha is a fabulous counselor. I feel very comfortable sharing my thoughts and emotions with her. She has helped me approach, and perceive, my challenges from a new perspective. I will definitely recommend her!

Deboraha made me very comfortable to speak about my problems. She tailors her counselling to your needs and responds in a prompt manner. She gets to the underlying issue and acts as a guide to find your answers, this is great because it allows you to go at your own pace. She's helped me improve my relationships and mentality and I'm forever grateful for that.

I do appreciate the suggestions and listen to my problems with a concern ear. I don’t feel judged or as if my feelings are being dismissed

Ms. Johnson just gets it! I always feel heard, respected, and understood. I also love how she checks in with me to make sure we’re on the right page. I’m already making great strides towards my goals and feel supported!

I've loved working with Deboraha so far, she has been very understanding whilst also being able to give me different perspectives, which has really helped. She also introduced me to coping techniques that feel personal to me which I've incorporated in to my everyday life and I've already seen positive results. I'm so pleased to be working with her on this journey.

This has been the best experience and with the best therapist. Deboraha has truly helped me come into myself while I set the stage for this new chapter in my life. I wouldn’t change a thing!
