Laura was caring and a great listener. She was blunt and asked tough questions . But they needed to be answered and I am grateful that she was able to analyze my issues and lead me in the right direction. I did the work that she asked and it was like a weight lifted. Wonderful job.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

I am so happy with my therapist, Lauresta Krause. She has truly been informative, intentional and compassionate. She has truly helped me to have so much clarity to my situation. So grateful!
Lauresta has been the best therapist i've ever had. Her honest concern and ability to listen - and assist has been very important for me. I am thankful for her and Better Health.
She's amazing. She listens, she allows for you to be transparent and is nonjudgmental.
I love my therapist. She's always there if I need anything and very understanding of my situation. I particularly like that she doesn't always recommend me to do something but instead listens and lets me figure it out myself which I find to be very effective. All in all I give her a 10 out of 10.
