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

Thank you. Excellent therapist

Very communicative. I only preferred texting option, and Kelley was able to reach out and communicate effectively through messages. Sometimes context can get lost in writing, but She was very well spoken in the messages

Very helpful

I couldn’t ask for a better therapist! Kelley has helped me so much - with my grief, my anxiety and my PTSD- she has been with me every step of the way and l am very grateful for her guidance, her constant support and her patience!

Kelley is awesome. She checks in on me frequently, even if I forget to get back to her. She's a great listener and understands a lot of what's going on in my head. I feel better when I get to talk with her, and she has a lot of great tools to help me re-wire my brain.

Kelley is such a good listener, and her advice? Solid and unbias. I felt supported at all times during our journey together.

Kelley is really kind and makes me feel comfortable discussing uncomfortable topics. She always follows up with me and offers many different helpful resources I can utilize even after our sessions. I always feel encouraged after talking with Kelley and I am so grateful to be able to have her as a therapist.

I have only had a few sessions with Kelley but so far I feel very comfortable. She always listens to my concerns and even remembers and follows up throughout the week. She sends articles or exercises going more in depth of what we talked about to see how they work for me. She has been an amazing therapist thus far.

Attentive, understanding, compassionate

Kelley is an excellent therapist. She is very available and replies very quickly to any messages. She is also very intuitive and accommodating with her schedule. She truly promotes wellness.

Kelley is awesome! I wish she was my friend in real life, lol. Very insightful, intelligent and over all great woman! Give her a raise

I can’t say enough great things about Kelley. In the short time I’ve known her I feel very comfortable sharing with her and she has given me great tips and advice. After implementing these my life has improved so much, and I’m finding new ways to implement these techniques to have success in different facets of my life (work, hobbies, studying, etc). She is a calming, reassuring presence in an otherwise stressful world.

Kelly always listens to me and treats me with respect and kindness. She talks to me not just as a therapist but as someone that you feel really cares about how you’re feeling and what your concerns are.

Kelley is such a great therapist. I feel so much better after talking with her.

Kelley is one of the best! She is a fantastic listener and almost always validates my feelings. She has worked through countless large stress and life changes with me. Our sessions always leave me feeling lighter and better.

I love Kelley and how intentional she is with her words. She always checks in on me and makes me feel cared for

Patient and caring

Kelley Ryan has helped me overcome issues I thought I would never be able to make progress on, in just a few weeks! With her help, I already feel as if coming to Betterhelp was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!

Kelley Ryan is helping to bring me back to life and I am so grateful to have her in my corner. Talking with her is always the highlight of my week.

Kelley was everything that I needed in my time of need: she was calm, she listened, she asked insightful question and most importantly I felt completely safe sharing all my thoughts with her. Kelley also gave me exercises to help with my worries, stress and personal boundaries. Moreover, she would always contact me during the week to see how I’m doing. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with stress, anxiety and career issues.

Kelley is an exceptional therapist. She listens well and always has many resources and tips to offer. I look forward to our future sessions.

I am looking forward to next Tuesday

Kelley is very sweet and nonjudgmental. She is very relatable and I feel safe sharing with her

I’m comfortable with Kelley and I like her approach.

Easy access scheduled or just messaging instantly thru the app. She responds in a timely manner. I feel more controlled w the exercises done so far.

As this was my first experience with therapy I was very nervous and unsure what to expect. Kelley put me at ease from the very first session and was always a great listener. I felt very comfortable opening up, and she had good advice on how to address what was bothering me or how to think of it differently. Kelley checked in with me every couple of days between sessions to see how I was doing if she hadn’t heard from me which I appreciated. Would highly recommend!

She is great! Feels like a friend but sends me helpful homework

Since I have been having sessions with Kelley I feel I am moving through the grief stages calmer. Before I started sessions with Kelley I felt overwhelmed and lost as to what is next and how to handle the feelings of loss and pain and sadness at losing my husband of forty seven years. Kelley has helped me to open up and share those feelings and see there is a lot of hope still. She is understanding and always listens to what I have to say and gives her perspective. She is helping me navigate through the hardest time of my life.

Kelley is really thoughtful. She's a great listener and is very engaged during our sessions. She takes time to send me worksheets to try when I have issues I want to reflect on. She also takes time to message me once a week to check in or send me some encouragement. I really enjoy our sessions and I've been grateful to have the support while I navigate through this stressful time in my life.

She is kind and patient. Listens and talk to ne

Fantastic!

Kelley Ryan is an Angel on Earth who came to me at just the exact time that I needed her and she is always there for me in every way. I could not be more thankful for her every single day!!!

She's a great therapist, really helps you in aspects you didn't even know about

She is thoughtful, always there for me, and has yet to ever cancel a session despite my flakiness. It so far, has been a wonderful experience.

A really great therapist

Kelley Ryan is a professional, but she is very open with her patients as human beings with personal pride mix in with frailties.

Kelley is a wonderful listener and really helps me get to the heart of what is causing my anxiety. Quick to respond with thoughtful answers and discussion, I feel that she is very supportive and genuinely want to help me to work through whatever issue I may be having. Kelley has given me tools to help manage my anxiety as it come up and encourages me to use them. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend!

Kelley Ryan is an amazing help, despite only meeting with her one time, her expertise and her knowledge has helped me in a beneficial way. Im glad i had the opportunity to meet and talk with her. An amazing therapist

Kelley Ryan is very nice.

I would highly recommend Kelley to anyone seeking a constructive place to organize a multitude level of feelings and stressors. We do not always receive validation in our personal lives and I always feel validated after each session.

Kelley was a fantastic person to talk to, had tremendous insight into my problems and was always attentive and caring in all of our conversations. I can’t thank her enough!

Kelly listens to me and asks insightful questions to help me work through things without judgement. I feel supported and empowered. I always feel better after talking with Kelly.

Kelly has patience with me. I appreciate her help

She gets me. What can I say? I’m comfortable sharing everything with her and appreciate her support for me.

Kelley is a great listener, has sent me on point exercises that made me aware of myself and reacts to exactly what my issues are.

Kelley Ryan is a god send she is full of compassion and intellect. She has helped me in ways I didn't think possible and helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Kelley Ryan has been very nice.

I feel incredibly comfortable with Kelley. She is really good about checking in and seeing how I'm doing through out the week and our phone sessions have been truly insightful. I was so nervous about the kind of therapist I would be matched with and I honestly couldn't ask for a better person then Kelley!
