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.

Robert is an incredible therapist. If you get paired with him then you are lucky. Robert is an excellent listener and provides excellent insight on problems you may be struggling with when asked, as well as useful tools and homework to allow you to look within and apply the best version of yourself in the real world. As of yesterday, I have achieved all of my therapy goals! If I needed to come back I would make an appointment with him.
I’ve been seeing Robert for well over a year now, when I needed help with my challenges, and problems that I’ve encountered. He’s very understanding, and supportive, and his advice has always helped me worked through the things that have challenged. He always appreciates his clients, and I’ve appreciated his help along the way, I’m not sure who I would be today without his help. When he says “better tomorrows, he truly means it”, so I’d recommend him to anyone that’s looking for a therapist.
He is open to an alternative view point and also faith based which is paramount to me.
Robert is a great therapist that really knows how to listen. He helped me a lot in just our first two sessions together. I highly recommend this therapist and betterhelp.
Since day 1 I knew choosing him would be the best choice and fit for me. He takes his time and actually listens and gives you tips you’ll use for a lifetime. Thank you for all your efforts and even messaging first that was huge for me, I recommend him over the other 20 therapists I tried to match with on here, he’s literally amazing
After a few short weeks with Robert I feel seen, heard, and I finally have an understanding as to why and what hurdles I’m overcoming. Now that we know the what, he and I are working on building the tools to help me cope better.
Love to have someone to talk to and it make me comfortable
