Better Help matched me with Fred based on the answers on the intake form. The algorithm works very well, I suspect better than a choice I would've made. He is a careful listener and prompts questions that are significant to not only advancing thoughtful dialogue but at a pace that allows for thorough consideration. I'm delighted with my experience with Better Help and Fred.

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.
