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.

I look forward to speaking with my therapist, Alesha. She is thorough, thoughtful and compassionate. She gives practical advice, listens intently and provides helpful tips to navigate my mental health and life's challenges.

Akesha has been a great therapist. She has an empathetic and practical approach

Excellent

Very friendly and gives good suggestions and good example and other precipitation of things.

Alesha has had such a positive impact on my life. Every time I speak to her I can feel she genuinely cares and wants the best for me. She always takes the time to really listen to me and offer a gentle wisdom that is not only comforting but also reveals my blind spots to myself. Once I become aware of those blind spots, we can work to shift the narratives and tell myself a new story. Alesha has so many tools in her toolkit and is always eager to share those with me. She always leaves me with a task and focus for the week which helps me stay on track with the goals I’ve set in place. I genuinely believe therapy with Alesha has been and will continue to be a huge asset in my life. The value I’ve received is priceless and I am so grateful to be connected with such a great therapist and overall wonderful person. Thank you so much Alesha! You are the best!

I really like her she has opened my eyes to a lot in such a short time.

Alesha has been amazing. She has helped me so much and her methods have really resonated with me. I have been able apply her techniques and they have really helped me improve on my issues. I highly recommend Alesha.

I have worked with Alesha for a few months now. She is very good at what she does. She listens and has an expertise at giveing insight and helpful advice at the right time. I would recommend her highly.

Ms Alesha has been a wonderful asset in my life; She is supportive encouraging genuine and she is solution focused; she has supported me through life altering situations and I’m coming through the toughest of them, I’m glad she continues to stand by me as I grow through my most challenging time of my life, I’m grateful to have her as my therapist

consummate professional

She is very understanding, and gives good advice

Alesha is kind, caring and provokes me to gain insight.

My time with Alesha has been invaluable. She has helped me navigate through critical life experiences and she is always supportive Very glad for our connection,,

Aleisha is very attentive, a great listener, and supportive; but will also challenge you. I enjoy the challenges as they definitely require you to think outside of your norm. If you’re on the fence on scheduling with Aleisha, just do it! You won’t regret it.

She is great and understanding. She has her approach but also allows you to speak as you need to. She uses techniques that you can use in your daily life .

Strongly recommend

She is great

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of Alesha. Within the first ten minutes of our first session, she was putting me to work. I practiced the tools she provided, and it has made such a huge difference in my life both professionally and personally. Now as I look back at my initial therapy goals, it is absolutely incredible to me that I am in the place I am now in managing my anxiety and stress (but she would tell me that she’s not surprised at all). To the moon and on, I cannot thank Alesha enough for the guidance she has given me. Catch it. Check it. Change it.

Alesha is a therapist who truly listens to my concerns and helps me find solutions. During this challenging time she is right there with me!

Alesha is an outstanding listener. She uses personal examples to relate with me and my issues. She is clearly empathetic and resourceful. I couldn't be happier with our partnership.

I have really enjoyed working with Alesha. I feel that the time I have spent in therapy with her has been valuable and practical in multiple aspects of my life. I feel like I’ve grown as an individual and made some changes. Alesha has provided me with confidence that I can continue to grow and change.

My time with Alesha was fantastic. I learned so many important skills to improve my communication style, behavior, relationships, mindset and mindfulness. She taught great techniques that I will apply today and for the rest of my life. Thank you, Alesha for helping me in so many ways.

She is great.

She's an AWESOME human being with an understanding heart. I love that when I tend to slip into depression talk, she pulls me out in the nicest way with the hard truth at an understanding on my level and helps me identify what exactly needs to be addressed.

Too many therapists want for you to talk, but do not actually give you the tools you need to address the issue. It’s one thing to talk it through; it’s a lot more work to do something about it. Alesha has put me to work. That huge closet of skeletons got busted wide open from the first ten minutes with her. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given and she is with me every step of the way.

Alesha is a really nice person and listener and even though there were times when I had sudden ‘situations’ she offered help I didn’t know was possible virtually. Alesha’s words are like a warm hug. I hope you have her as your therapist with an open mind.

Excellent therapist, full of resources and helpful guidance.

I wouldn't have it any other way...Alesha is not bias and she listens. And I love her personality. I have so much more I could say about her but to sum it up , therapy was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. She helped me through alot and I thank you Alesha from the bottom of my heart. May God continue to bless you

Alesha has been consistent with following up with me although I have been scattered

She is very thoughtful provides excellent advice & coaching and I feel extremely comfortable with Alesha

I've had one session with Alesha and she understands my issues and concerns. She's listens and advises on the best course of action. In a nutshell she's GREAT!

A great listener and can relate to me.

Alesha is a pleasure to work with. She is a great listener and provides great examples to techniques and methods we discuss.

She is always checking on me!!!! I know he only had a few sessions but she do care!!! I reaaaaally like her!!!

Everything I could possibly want in a therapist! Kind, respectful, patient, and wise!

Alesha has been wonderful and I can't say enough about my experience with her as my therapist. I know that I could not have been so successful in my path to better mental health over the last 8 months if it had not been for her intuitive insight. She always knew exactly what exercises and practices I needed to work on. Even when I wasn't sure how some may help, I soon realized how I had grown doing them. Alesha is a true professional and I had no trouble talking to her without feeling judged or any scrutiny. She always helped me navigate my feelings and how to deal with them properly. She was thorough, kind, friendly, and a great listener. She understood my feelings and even the path of my thoughts that caused me such grief while going through a harrowing experience. After that experience was over, she helped me quickly recover and grow from it; now I'm ready to move on to a new place, with a new spirit for a better tomorrow. Alesha has helped me turn a new page in my life, keeping it positive, peaceful, and grateful. I am very happy that I turned to Betterhelp for my needs, because I know Alesha was the right therapist for me. I just can't imagine being able to get through my hard time without her in my corner. She made it all easier and helped me to find meaning and growth from my experiences. I am absolutely grateful for this opportunity to be available to me in this platform, where I was the most comfortable at home in my own space. She is a valuable member of your team, don't ever lose her, because she is exactly what your company needs to be successful. This entire experience has been great for me. I did the homework, some journaling along the way which I also found therapeutic, and I also attended a few groupinars. Sometimes their subjects were helpful to me and some I just found to be interesting, but they gave me an outlet I felt was comforting and safe. I don't think that I could have gone to a therapist in the traditional setting and have gotten this far so soon. With the added practices and features, it all lent to a quicker recovery for me. Again, I am very grateful for this experience and I'm extremely grateful to Alesha for being there for me and guiding me through a very tough time in my life. She is a shining gem and truly passionate about her profession. Thank goodness I found Betterhelp and Alesha when I needed it most.

She the most understanding person and I like how she approach me was very good Experience and knowing that she hears you out and she explains all the homework that I have done

Alesha is extremely positive, professional, and compassionate. She employed a variety of skills and tools to empower me in shifting my perspectives and taking healthy action. She was always affirming and gently challenging when I needed it. With Alesha's help, I made great strides toward emotional healing and creating a short and long term plan that I felt great about.

Alesha is amazing- understands quickly, empowers softly, and energizes positively. Sign up now!

Alesha was definitely heaven sent. She has helped me work through things I didn’t realize were even there but holding me back. She is a great listener and communicates effectively.

She’s awesome

Words really can't describe how much she has helped me . I highly recommend her.

I am getting a lot from thus therapy. I sometimes forget my appointments, because I'm doing so much.

She genuinely cares and wants the best for you!

Alesha has been a miracle worker. She is calm, smart, and genuine. I have enjoyed my sessions and feel that we have made significant progress. Unfortunately, BetterHelp would not allow me to message her without receiving payment to thank her after our final session. Thank you, Alesha. I look forward to working with you in the future. Justin

She is very kind and helpful. She puts things in perspective and is always non-judgmental. She is knowledgeable and offers many suggestions to help you work through issues.

She is pleasant and I feel as though she is a good listener and serious about her work. She is patient with you and easy going with her patient. She understands and pays attention to detail. I’m glad I chose her to guide my steps in the areas where I find I need more work. She is a blessing in disguise.

Phenomenal, sincere, relatable, attentive, and supportive are just a few character traits that comes to mind when I think of Ms. Alesha Smith. She is a great life support.

I've been speaking with Alesha for 5 weeks now. She is attentive and positive. She is friendly and is easy to talk to. I look forward to continuing speaking with her for awhile.

Awesome therapist. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and has provided the right tools to guide on my journey of becoming a better me.

I completed my 2 weeks session with Alesha Smith and it was by far one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. She was incredibly attentive and responsive. I recommend her without reservations.

I highly recommend Alisha .

Recently started with Alesha and I am very pleased. This is hard deep intense work but I want to work through those things that weigh me down. She listens attentively.
