It is so wonderful to find a therapist like Dr. Anderson who I share a general love of comics, video games, TV, and movies with. It's definitely a nice way to end sessions talking about new things we've come across. During sessions, I always feel welcomed, heard, and understood. I am more than happy to recommend him or BetterHelp to a friend in need.

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.
