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

She is very well at listening and getting to understand the proper help you actually need!

My therapist is an excellent listener and I feel fortunate that I was matched with Kimberly. I feel she doing a great job of really trying to understand what’s at the core of my disordered eating. I look forward to what she can teach me , help me better understand myself and what’s going on, and learn tools to achieve my goals.

Kimberly is a great therapist for me. Keeps my faith at number one. Understands my counseling needs.

Kimberly is the best therapist I’ve ever had, she gently guides, listens, and helps support me through life decisions, getting out of an abusive relationship and everyday life.

right out of the gate I was set up with the perfect therapist. We connect on so many levels. I feel relaxed listen to validated she reassures me that anytime I need her 24 seven to reach out she is there for me 100%. I love the fact. I can stay in my home where I’m comfortable. No driving time. The connection is always great, I just can’t say enough good things I’ve been seeing my therapist for almost 10 months every week and I’m very happy that this has worked out so well for me.

She’s amazing

Kimberly has helped me so much with people pleasing and so many other areas! She has helped me how to look at life differently in the best way possible!

I am so grateful to have Kimberly as my therapist. She is equipped with many tools to help me conquer any issues I am dealing with. She is a great listener and shows genuine care in our sessions. The help she has given me has greatly improved my mental health, and I always look forward to our sessions.

Kimberly listens and offers other ways of looking at things!

Truly a great listener and great advice giver. Very calming and respectful energy. So grateful to have had her as a therapist.

Kimberly has been a wonderful help to me and I appreciate her advice, expertise and kindness more than she can even imagine.

Kim was the best therapist this year to me. Very loving and listening skills she used all the time .. I would recommend her to anyone in the future.. Bless her big heart Heidi Westrick

She is great

Kim has helped me and still helping me navigating my way during divorce process. She helped me setting my goals and how to cope with anxiety better and be in control. I really appreciate having her during this difficult time to process my feelings in most healthy way.

Kim has been a beacon of light through the darkest time in my life. She helped me navigate through some difficult emotions while allowing me to naturally come to some conclusions on my own. I never once felt any judgment from her, only empathy and care. Her kindness, wisdom, and professionalism were exactly what I needed from a therapist. Thank you Kim!

It’s truly the best therapy I’ve experienced! I think what makes her so great is, it’s just like talking to your friend, not somebody taking notes with no personality. If I’m being honest I didn’t think it would work for me and my fear was being passed along to other therapists because you don’t “click” with them. I’m grateful and lucky I didn’t have to experience that. Don’t hesitate using online therapy, in my opinion it’s convenient, no commuting and stress free.

She is fantastic

Kim is very kind, respectful, and always looking for more ways to help me out with all the things I'm struggling with. I appreciate her very much even though we haven't been working together long.

After about a year with Kimberly, she has helped me much. I’m very thankful to her. She is very caring about whom she’s working with. Helping with anxiety, depression, and mental awareness was a big thing for me, and I cannot thank her enough!

First session was great! Looking forward to the next!

Kim is such a great therapist who really listens to you and how you feel. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks so much Kim!

Kimberly is very easy to talk to. She’s friendly, polite, respectful and warming. She understands and connects with me and my struggles and then she so nicely helps me through them. No judgement, just compassion. I really like being able to message in between sessions! I highly recommend her (:

Patient and understanding.I’m thankful to Betterhelp.com and K. Stratton

Great listener - very attentive and helpful.

She is great at her job. Very compassionate, and takes the time to really hear you

I’ve so loved sessions with Kimberly. She’s helped me to grow a lot. She asks really good questions and gets to the root of issues. She’s a great listener and very supportive. I know that I wouldn’t be experiencing the growth I am if it wasn’t for starting therapy and I’m so glad I did.

Kimberly has been awesome to work with. She is kind, understanding and responsive. She was quick to find what triggered my anxiety and had great solutions to offer. Messaging was very fluid and helpful. If I need help in the future, I will definitely reach out again. Thank you so much for everything!

Kimberly is great! She is down to earth and made me feel so comfortable. She listened well and sent me worksheets based on what we spoke about. The work was super interesting and really made me think and dive into the topics. Mental health work is a lot of work, good work, necessary work, and it is a pleasure to spend that time with Kim.

Kimberly has helped me to identify and sort through underlying issues and struggles. She has provided the tools to work through them in a healthy way.

Kimberly is someone you feel safe with - and I think that's so important with a therapist. We've only had one video session and it was the best counseling session I've had in years. I'm excited to continue growing with her guidance!

Kimberly is so far really great at her job. She has helped alot with what I'm going through... im grateful for her

She is awesome

She does her job well, and has been very helpful in sorting myself out.

I’ve been recommending BetterHelp to everyone I know because of my therapist (Kimberly Stratton). It was so nice to be able to link with someone who has the experience and understanding to help me heal. I used to dread the idea of therapy but now I look forward to being able to talk and have someone listen. Thanks for being a part of my journey to health.

I've had one session with her and so far I love talking to her. She's really understanding and kind and very non judgemental. She checks in on me and I really appreciate her help. Would absolutely recommend to anyone going through a hard time

She’s very easy to talk to. Makes me think and helps me understand myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.

Kimberly has been great so far. I truly feel like she listens and understands where I'm coming from without being condescending or pushy for me to express my feelings. I feel like I can talk to her without judgement knowing that she is going to bring a great perspective to my sessions.

Kimberly Stratton has been a wonderful blessing in my life. I have really enjoyed talking with her and look forward to hearing what she has to say. Thank you for the important work you do. I appreciate you so much

She helps me to see things in a new light. She is real helpful.

She’s been a good listener and has worked with me in the ways that are best suited for me, even checked in when I hadn’t responded as quickly as I usually do.

She’s been a rock for me and extremely helpful in my life issues. I would still be in a very unhappy place if it wasn’t for my time with her!

She is an amazing listener.....and also understands me....very important....because I can pick up on those things of someone who does not truly understand someone like me, but she has a phenomenal approach to my issues and I appreciate that......thank you, Kathy New

Kimberly is a really good counselor. She takes time to listen to your problems. She is knowledgeable about a lot of things. She has helped me deal with a lot of struggles i've had. I recommend her to anyone who needs a good counselor.

I really enjoy speaking with Kimberly and am very happy with the receptiveness of her messages. I think she's been a great help to me for the past couple weeks and I will continue to speak with her on a weekly basis.

I am very glad that I found BetterHelp, I was matched with another therapist but felt it wasn’t a great match and then I was Matched with Kimberly and she has been very encouraging and supportive, I feel like I can be honest and communicate openly, which is something I felt too scared to do in face to face therapy.

I really enjoy how quickly we jumped into my problems.

I'm still pretty mew to counseling but so far, she has been very helpful. Shes responds quickly, helped me set a goal to work towards and is very nice on the phone.
