Taking that initial step towards seeking help is a courageous endeavor, and I applaud your readiness for change.

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

Dr. Goodman is a good guy. Great doctor and listens very well. He helped me through a very difficult moment. I’m very appreciative

Dr. Goodman has helped me with so many obstacles. Balancing my life. My problem with obsessions. Relationship issues. Self value. Overthinking. He has a very good and honest approach. Gives different views and makes you think outside of your inner box.

Doc Goodman has been a great help. Excellent listener, constructive feed back and glaringly honest responses which I value above all else. I would certainly recommend him and his services to anyone

Listens, has experience. Wants you to succeed

I just started therapy for anger management with Dr. Goodman. So far our sessions have went very well he listens to understand my situation and has stated providing pathways for a positive solution. I look forward to continuing our therapy and becoming a better person for the people around me and also for myself.

I have been working with Dr. Goodman for some time now, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional therapist. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and welcomed, creating a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings. What truly stands out about Dr. Goodman is his unwavering kindness and sensitivity. Despite my struggles with English, Dr. Goodman never let that hinder our sessions. He has an incredible ability to truly listen, understanding the essence of what I am trying to express. This made me feel valued and heard, and it reassured me that language barriers were never an issue. Dr. Goodman's proactive approach to therapy has been instrumental in my growth journey. He consistently goes the extra mile by sending me relevant materials, documents, and exercises that have helped me develop new skills and gain a deeper understanding of myself. His commitment to my progress is evident through his personalized guidance, tailored to my individual needs. I appreciate how Dr. Goodman takes the time to explain concepts and strategies, ensuring I am comfortable and engaged in the therapeutic process. His patience and dedication have fostered an environment where I feel empowered to address my challenges and work towards positive change. In conclusion, I am truly grateful for Dr. Goodman's expertise and compassionate guidance. His kind demeanor, active listening, and proactive approach make him an outstanding therapist. If you're seeking a therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being and is committed to your growth, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Goodman. Thank you, Dr. Goodman, for being an integral part of my journey towards self-discovery and healing.

My experience with Dr. Goodman has been amazing so far (7months working together and counting). He listens and is very professional as well as personal. It can be hard for me to be comfortable and open up with therapists but Dr. Goodman makes it very easy. I'm able to ask questions and he answers them or guides my thought process to help me understand and get what I'm looking for. I really appreciate the tools he has for diagnosis and the occasional homework he has for me to do. If you're looking for someone understanding who is able to help you understand and work with new aspects of yourself discovered during the process, I highly recommend Dr. Goodman

Great listener and able to understand a wide range of issues

Dr. Goodman is a great listener! He listens, asks, affirms, and provides suggestions when needed. Highly recommend him!

I have been with Dr. Goodman for several weeks and have found him to be very helpful. He does his best to make the most of the time we have, and offers resources to do on my own time. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help.

Dr. Goodman has helped me to identify the root cause of my issues and address then. H has literally helped me become the person I am meant to be.

He's amazing

I have discovered many things about myself in only two sessions. Information that I didn’t know in over 30 years in treatment. I love his assessment based approach as I have not had such detailed assessments since I was a teenager, probably not even then. May be some of the most important moments in my health. I could not recommend him more.

I have seen several. Dr. Goodman is the first to actually understand, listen, and engage rather than spew sentences out of a text book. It's crazy but I think he might actually take notes because he remembers what we talked about in our past sessions. What a concept.

Dr. Goodman is incredible! He's kind, personable, easy to talk too, and gives honest/realistic exercises to help you. From the first time I talked to him he put me at ease, he really listens and talks to you like a person. I am so happy to work with him and feel better than I have in a long time!

He makes me feel heard, understood and cares greatly about my mental health.

Dr. Goodman, is awesome. He listens and works with me I never get the feeling I'm talking at him or him me, which is huge. It's a teamwork a give and take of information and input. I chose him because his profile talked about assessment tests for various things which I was really interested and very happy with how he's arranged everything so easy to use and understand. I'm not easily impressed and have been to several therapists over the years and Dr. Goodman is in the top 2 if not number one in my experience

Dr Goodman was a port in a storm during a very difficult period for me. His empathetic, pragmatic approach; along with his personable approach made it a very comfortable environment for me to dissect my issues. I worked with him for approx 12 weeks and during that time a grew in to a new man with his gentle guidance and Socratic approach. I have CPTSD and ADHD and he helped me following a break down and even kept me afloat during ther breakdown of my long term marriage. I have nothing but admiration and respect for this man. Dont take my word - reach out - its good to talk xx

Fantastic listener, prompt advice, applicable tools, positive, comforting, genuine

I have been working with Dr.Goodman since a year and the way he helped me processing my thoughts is unbelievable. I couldn't expect to get so much from a remote therapist, but I did. Also, being a non native English speaker is a concern of mine, but Dr.Goodman is extremely patient and makes me feel comfortable even with my typos and weird pronunciation.

Very personable listens to everything you say even if you're like me and ramble on about random things but always brings you back on track happy I found him as my therapist

Dr.Goodman is absolutely wonderful. He’s without a doubt the best phycologist I’ve ever had! He’s so kind and caring. He really truly listens to everything. He’s honest and works his hardest to insure that you grow and improve. I brag about him constantly. I feel listened to, seen, and like I’m truly being helped and cared for by him. I never feel like he judges me. He’s absolutely wonderful! I recommend him and better help to everyone I know.

Thoughtful, helpful, and resourceful

The session with dr goodman was really authentic, worm, empathic and challenging, both in the humane and the professional aspect!

I have been in therapy on and off for 10 years. Dr. Goodman has been my favorite therapist by far. I feel as though he understands my goals. He provides such valuable feedback and is very real as a person. I have grown more in the past few months than I have in years thanks to him.

I have made huge strides thanks to my work with Dr. Goodman.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Goodman! Knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and truly cares. He really listens and has excellent insight. Two thumbs up!!!

Dr goodman’s expertise and knowledge behind his focus topics is amazing. He has solutions to your problems instead of solely relying on coping mechanisms.

He’s a great therapist! I appreciate him being a great listener. He asks good questions that will help you reflect and see things in a different light. He gives great advice and does not hold back on honesty.

Great guy extremely helpful.

From the very start I felt comfortable and willing to share. He’s warm, inviting, interested, calming, understanding. I could go on and on. He’s a great therapist.

Dr. Goodman is a true expert in this field. Precise questions, great communication, empathy! Highly recommend!

Excellent! One of the best therapists I've had.

Dr. Goodman is amazing! I saw him 6+ years ago and he helped me through a very tough time in my life. I was so happy to be recently reconnected with him on BetterHelp. He's easy to talk to, always listens and has great advice. I always leave feeling much better!

Dr. Goodman was attentive and hears me out. I feel comfortable with him and I am looking forward to more sessions with him.

David is a fantastic therapist. I had my doubt about therapy generally but after a couple of sessions with Dr Goodman I really started to understand why I was feeling the way I was. I really benefited from our weekly sessions and have learnt skills that will help me deal with some of my challenges for years to come! Thank you Dr Goodman.

Dr. Goodman has been very responsive and helpful. He has provided me with valuable insight as I look to find solutions for the challenges I am facing.

Dr. Goodman is very empathetic and listens closely to my concerns and offers tools to help me handle daily stressors as well as be a better version of myself.

My first session with Dr. Goodman went much better than I had expected. He made me feel very safe and allowed me to express my thoughts and concerns freely. I needed someone to listen to me, and he did that wonderfully. I am more hopeful now, that Dr. Goodman will be able to help me with my issues.

I was abandoned by a long time therapist and came to Dr. Goodman afterwards. He's done an amazing job at making feel safe in therapy as I try to unwind a mess of issues.

Great insight, experience, very positive and supportive!

He made me feel heard and validated. He’s the right fit for anyone that’s need self help. Very kind and accepting.

Dr. Goodman is so validating and reaffirming of my newfound autistic identity. I feel really heard and understood during our sessions.

Dr. Goodman is amazing! Tries to understand your background so he can help you with your issues in a way that's actually doable for you! He has great insight as to why some things happen and is very comforting when discussing difficult topics. Great therapist and person!

My mental health has improved tremendously with Dr. Goodman’s help. He listens and understands my issues and provides great advice on how to solve them. I want to say I owe a lot to Dr. Goodman and anyone seeking therapy wouldn’t go wrong with choosing him as their therapist. Unfortunately the platform’s predatory billing practices made me decide to quit therapy. Again, I’m very thankful to Dr. Goodman and I wish him all the best.

Dr. Goodman has is incredibly helpful, supportive and reliable. I am very grateful for his help in my mental health journey.
