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. Cokuslu is a wonderful listener; she also has insight and feedback on personal character so is quick to give options on how to work on certain things that will better your chance at inner healing. She provides many tools (“homework”) that helps learn about myself on a deeper level. I’ve been applying some of the skills on the worksheets and already feel I’m making progress with only 2 sessions so far. I’m very grateful for her!

Dr. Cokuslu has been a life saver to me! She has helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. I absolutely trust and respect her more than any of the numerous counselors I’ve seen throughout my life. I actually look forward to our sessions and am excited to implement her suggestions in my life. She is understanding , non-judge mental, and is a wonderful listener.

Overall

I’ve been working with Dr. Cokuslu for about 9 months now. In my experience, it takes a while to get in a groove with a new therapist, but after our first few sessions, I knew she had the expertise, compassion, and life experience for a meaningful, professional connection. She recommends a variety of ways to practice healing, coping, and mindfulness in my day to day life. Before every session ends, she makes sure that I’m in a good place and that I have what I need for a successful week. This is my second round of finding a therapist on BetterHelp, and I know I’ve made the right choice with Dr. Cokuslu.

I ABOUSTLY love working with her. So glad i choose her. She ask what my concerns are that week and how I'm feeling about what we are doing and talking about and if I understand it and if it's helping me. She always ask if I'm at a good place to stop the session which means so much to me Overall I wouldn't want to work with anyone else
