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.

Overall

Giovanni has always been extremely respectful and has help me work through many buried traumas. I could not ask for a better therapist to work with.

Giovanni Bass is very intelligent, qualified, kind, and also upfront which I sincerely appreciate! He wants to get right to the point of why we came in, so he can fully grasp the details and provide in-depth responses to find solutions instead of remaining stagnant. He is amazing!!!

Giovanni was at first a kind face on his profile and is now someone I truly trust that can help guide me to some much needed healing. He is relatable and supportive with my journey. Relieved and happy to have met Giovanni!

Giovanni is great and has helped me so much already. I can't wait to keep working with him.

Very good at listening, interpreting and responding to my thoughts and concerns that helps me to better care for and respect myself.

Giovanni Bass approaches professional therapy with the cordial tone of a brother. Seeing him as the counselor’s counselor, I recommend him for ministers, teachers, and others in the field of therapy. With his level of care, I am inclined to continue some form of counseling for the rest of my life.

Mr. Bass is Simply THE Best!

“G” is like a great big healthy Oak Tree!…Lol No but for real he is steady & strong in all the right ways. He tells you like it is but you don’t feel beat up by it. He gives you truth in love. He guides without leading to much, he listens, he’s encouraging, he’s patient & he’s kind. Highly recommend

Been with Giovanni for 2 years now. He is HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I do recommend him to everyone

Could not recommend Giovanni enough. He’s Very down to earth and easy to open up to

Giovanni is a wonderful person to talk with. Before you even know it he is teaching you the methods to develop the tools to make it through.

It was my first experience with therapy. Really glad Giovanni was my entry point. Felt comfortable from the beginning.

Giovanni is a caring individual who has helped me tremendously. He listens, is thoughtful and provides just enough guidance to help you grow and evolve. I am truly appreciative of his warmth he has provided me over the last year. I highly recommend him if you are looking to grow as an individual, are willing to do the work and to step out of what you know, to explore the endless options that await you. Giovanni helps you by supporting you and helping give direction, when you are not sure which way to go. I am so thankful for him.

I feel like I have benefited tremendously from therapy. So grateful I found BetterHelp!!

Giovanni has been a life changer and blessing to me. I don't consider him my therapist. I look at him as my brother. He's so good I recommended him to friends .

I’ve tried two other therapists on here and by far Giovanni is the best is all areas!! He really listens and more than that he cares. I would recommend him 100000 time over. I’m grateful for him!

Great person. Very insightful

Giovanni has been my therapist for over a year now. He has been the absolute best therapist and I am so Grateful for him and all of his help!

Giovanni is absolutely incredible. I always look forward to our sessions together. He listens & understands me . He always knows just what to say & how to say it as well. I wouldn't want anyone else but him. He is outstanding at what he does !

Giovanni is definitely living one of his life's purposes by being a therapist and coach. He is well-versed in a myriad of areas and had a unique way to related, understand, and appropriately guide his clients through challenging situations. I've experienced exponential growth during our sessions and appreciate his effective, solutions-basrd methods that have aided and continue to aid in my healing.

I am grateful for Giovanni and all of the tools he has shared with me. He is very intuitive and understanding. He makes me feel heard and seen. That means the world to me.

Giovanni is such an AMAZING therapist. I had one before him & we didn't click. They gave me the info I needed but I felt very rushed. With Giovanni. He listens , takes his time. Is actually genuinely there for you & cares about you. I've never done therapy before & I'm glad Giovanni is my therapist. He gives me the full time. Gives me homework & very helpful resources. I would recommend Giovanni to ANYONE.

My therapist is very good at listening and coming up with solutions to help me day to day

He is great

He has been extremely helpful to my growth now and my foreseeable future of mental health.

Giovanni has said all the right things - I feel like I have a stronger connection with him than any other therapist I’ve tried- I’m very happy with my experience

I am so grateful for all the support and genuine kindness Giovanni shows in the sessions. He is one of the best therapists I have met. He has so much wisdom to share, and he finds the right way to communicate it so that it is helpful.

Giovanni has been very helpful for me, in a short amount of time. I find his experience to be excellent and he seems to understand my plight and provide helpful tools.

Mr. Giovanni Bass is absolutely wonder!! In fact a God send! I had tried two other therapists, and they did not or could not deliver the type of therapy I needed. In just a few sessions Mr. Bass has opened my mind to so many insightful things! He has helped me to implement and set boundaries as well as goals! Im so grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with such warm, intelligent, organized and caring therapist. I couldn’t have asked for better!

While it's new I look forward to having sessions with Mr. Bass. It really is a work in progress and im looking forward to future sessions.

Mr Bass is a great guy. He is truely helping me to become a better version of myself

Excellent therapist.

I just started with Giovanni but I came away from our first session eager for the next, feeling like we had really hit the ground running!

Giovanni has been a great support in my journey back to self. He is understanding, easy to talk to, and there is a warmness to his approach to therapy. I am grateful

First time doing therapy, was very nervous about the whole thing especially doing it online, but Giovanni has made it really comfortable for me, and has been very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend.

He’s a very knowledgeable therapist and I enjoy talking to him every week.

Giovanni has been a great help and has given me the tools to help me communicate better in my marriage.

This has been an amazing experience, a life changing one even, and in such a short space of time too. I believe I've been equipped with the tools to go forward and navigate the issues life throws my way, and a mindset I'll continue to practice because of how effective it has been. Its been super easy to get on Giovanni and open up, and this allowed me to easily speak on issues. His approach and passion worked perfectly for me. So much value gained from doing this.

I often look forward to my sessions with Giovanni which I feel like is a conversation with a new friend. I'm comfortable

Love this guy

Excellent therapist; kind, compassionate and understanding.

Awesome

He is phenomenal. I am rapidly gaining the skills and tools to tackle problems on my own, but Giovanni accelerated that healing in a major way. I cannot thank him enough for helping me gain control of my mind and my emotions.

I am pleased and hopeful

He is just what I needed at the right time. He is great!

Great listener!

I very much appreciated Givanni’s advice and approach. I find it very helpful to use the messaging ability to pre-discuss and make the video sessions as fruitful as possible. Even though we haven’t had many sessions, I found them very helpful in conjunction with my own work and reading.

Giovanni has been an incredible therapist. He is very present and thoughtful in our sessions, and always follows up on the things most important to me. He is very involved in chat as well, which is nice for support in between sessions. His wisdom and guidance have been immensely helpful in my journey. I've been to a few different therapists and counselors, I would recommend Giovanni over all of them.

Giovanni is such an amazing professional

Giovanni has been the ABSOLUTE BEST!

Giovanni has been a tremendous help to us through several different issues that have come up in our lives lately. He’s a great listener and offers wonderful counsel that has been of significant benefit to us throughout a difficult time. We would definitely recommend him and better help

Great listener and helps guide you through your emotions.

Giovanni is open, receptive and gives excellent feedback. What I like about Giovanni is that he is candid, stays true to himself and gives constructive recommendations that are meaningful and productive. He also messages, gives homework to encourage development and self reflection. I would strongly recommend Giovanni to anyone joining Better Help who is working through relationship concerns.

Giovanni has been such a massive help! I use everything we talked about daily and it’s made such an impact to my daily life

We couldn’t have asked for a better therapist. He’s been sent by God and has helped tremendously in our life.

Great job listening and offering things to work on each week

He was awesome. Straight shooter and very empathetic. My time with him gave me exactly what I needed.

He is a great therapist, I enjoy and gain more confidence after each session

Giovanni is a kind soul with an abundance of wisdom! He doesn’t just allow me to talk about my problems, but helps me clarify my next steps towards resolution and acceptance. I also enjoy his “tool kit” of mindfulness practices; they’re very effective when done consistently!

He has shown me that there is still hope, he has been of great help.

Giovanni is a great Therapist! He listens to my concerns and gives me Great advice and suggestions. He's a great support and he checks in on me, which is greatly appreciated! I am Thankful for him!

He’s really great. After trying a bunch of different therapists I can say that he fully listens to me without making me feel like I shouldn’t have said anything.

Giovanni is very approachable, very understanding and non judgemental. He understands my issue is complex but also trusts my judgement.

Awesome therapist

Giovanni is a great therapist who helps you work toward your goals with his expert insight, knowledge, and experience that he uses to provide clarity.

Compassionate and skilled therapist. Meets your where you are with no judgement.

Giovanni is very attentive and listens to every detail, and he responds in such thoughtful ways! I feel listened to and understood more so than I’ve felt in the past with other people. So happy I signed up for better help:)

Mr. Giovanni Bass is one of the best therapists I have had the pleasure to meet. He is professional and friendly and he's sessions are far from boring. He challenged me and uplifted me and made me see myself in ways I couldn't imagine. His use of Biblical scripture in our therapy sessions combined with guided counselling is highly valuable. I would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone in need of therapy counselling with a spiritual perspective. SD. From - London UK
