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

He is so smart and listens to me and really pin points my issues

Mario has been incredibly helpful to me in parsing out a delicate circumstance with incredible compassion and care. His encouragement and reflective insights gave me the courage to approach my concerns in group settings, and he has remained an incredible support as we have navigated the challenges and blessings along this path. I would highly recommend him.

Mario is an outstanding therapist: very knowledgeable with depth and breadth of knowledge, thoughtful, supportive, and kind. Great to talk to and I've gotten lots of insights and made progress by talking to him.

Great guy

Mario is always amazing! I’ve come a long ways thanks to him and believe every day I move closer to that end goal of no more therapy.

I have been working with Mario since January, and I have had the best experience! He listens and offers great insight from a practical and biblical view, which is very important to me. I feel very comfortable sharing my struggles with him, as he is very empathetic but also firm when necessary. I truly enjoy our sessions and am feeling a lot better since I've been working with him. I highly recommend him as a therapist.

Mario is very patient throughout his therapy sessions and direct with his feedback. I appreciate his down-to-earth but insightful approach in active sessions, which has helped me tremendously. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

Mario goes above and beyond when dealing with myself. He reaches out to remind me of upcoming appointments available or simply just to check in with myself. He is a very professional person.

Mario is absolutely wonderful. Most importantly, he listens and understands. He gives examples that are easy to understand. He is gentle and yet does transition sometimes to difficult topics, acknowledging that they are difficult. As a result, I have grown and changed so, so much.

Mario remains an excellent listener and help amid the deluge of my processing. He knows when and how to provide appropriate tools in approaching chronic stress related to anxiety and identity. I highly recommend him.

Mario does an awesome job of quickly identifying how to guide the session based on what’s on my mind good or bad so we have plenty of time to discuss In an hour session. I always find myself with a better sense of direction and so relieved.

Mario is very respectful of everything of my thoughts. My concerns, my habits my time, very grateful to have him as a therapist.

Mario was my first match on Betterhelp and has been a great fit - exactly the person that I had requested and needed. I greatly appreciate his perspective and support.

Mario is great! Real professional and drops jewels every session! He's the best!

Mario has such a warm and welcoming presence. He’s a great listener and always makes me feel comfortable to share the things that I need to share.

Mario is a wonderfully thoughtful and kind therapist. He listens carefully and tailors the conversation and the therapy to address your needs. I have made substantial progress through conversations with him. I appreciate his help and support.

Mario is a fantastic therapist and I feel blessed to have found him.

Mario has been a spectacular help is showing me how to handle the hard choices that life throws your way. I feel as if I have grown a lot in the few months we have talked.

Mario is always amazing. I would recommend him 10 out of 10 times! He listens, cares, and celebrates your wins. I came to therapy out of desperation and not because I believed in it. He has completely changed my view on this topic.

Mario is great, the best!

Finding Mario has turned out to be one of the best things to happen for me in this stage of my life. He has helped me transition through becoming pregnant, preparing to be a mother, settling old resentment and pushing through the difficult memories that followed me. He has helped me learn how to process through my challenges, allowing me to come back to my emotional hurdles as many times as I needed. In doing this, I could conquer them and truly move past them for the first time in my life. He has helped me be a better mother, partner, daughter and friend, (not only to others but myself as well). At the end of the day, therapy can be an emotional and extremely personal journey. I can’t imagine going through that gracefully with anyone else, he’s truly one of a kind and I can’t recommend him enough.

Mario is the man!! His support and determination are unwavering. I am very thankful that we could be paired together.

I've really enjoyed working with Mario over the past few months. He has helped me grow and climb out of the negative pit I felt my mind was in. My outlook on life has made a huge switch from negative to positive working with him. I feel I understand many situations that troubled me in the past and can now process and move on from them helping me to continue to improve my mental health. Very thankful for all of Mario's help and look forward to continuing to work with him.

Outstanding service, professionalism, and attention to detail. Mario’s expertise has provided invaluable insight into my own struggles while likewise charting a healthy path forward! Def recommend!

I am amazed how quickly I have taken to Mario, and working with the CBT. The book recommended is exactly what I needed. I feel very fortunate that in a few weeks we have made accomplishments, with more to come. Mario is really awesome at what he does!

Stellar therapy. Mario is an awesome therapist. He is kind, listens, and has helped me to sort things out. After therapy sessions I feel empowered to say the least.

Very professional knows when I would like to talk and when I'm not very talkative

Mario has been amazing. My issues run deep, but he is helping me pull them out and finally address them.

He is a great therapist with some great insights

I am really growing in self confidence.I am weaving my tapestry one stitch at a time!!!! I am thankful for the help I am getting from Mario.

Mario is a grounded and caring counselor who seems genuinely interested and is effective in helping one achieve their mental health goals.

Mario is the best therapist I’ve ever had

Mario is highly skilled. He is the best therapist I have ever had because our work progresses. He is able to follow and understand what I am feeling and doing, then share insights, and set up goals to move me along. He also makes me feel like I’m never alone, that what I’m going through is not beyond what anybody else has gone through, and we will work together to move me into a healthier mindset.

Mario is so patient kind and caring. The best therapist I’ve had in years!

Mario is a compassionate person and great listener; he also offers great educative perspectives on what you're going through while being empathetic and understanding for the whole session. My only complaint would be that the sessions feel too short! :)

Mario is by far the best therapist I have ever spoken to. He listens closely to the issues I'm going through and is able to provide great input and action items that are helping me improve relationships and my overall personal mental health. I've been meeting weekly with Mario for a few weeks and can tell a major positive difference in how I'm thinking and handling difficult situations.

He takes the time and listens to all my concerns. I can already feel a difference after a few sessions! Will be setting up future appointments with him.

Had no idea how fortunate I was until I had my first session with Mario. The insight and ideas Mario provides really makes a difference in everyday life. Not only is he amazing at listening, he also understands what your communicating. Mario is simply a pleasure to work with.

Mario is always a great sounding board for my problems and helps me find solutions to help me

First time doing this, and only 2 sessions in with Mario & I can already tell he is fantastic at what he does. I much appreciate & look forward to my time with him and his insights to help shape my own personal understanding!

Mario is the man! :)

Mario has always been courteous and kind, he offered me ways of thinking through my problem with lots of background and resources for me to use.

Mario is an awesome therapist!

Mario is amazing. He listens to what I have to say and always has new insights every single week. In the first session, I already had new hopes. I can’t thank him enough. Time with Mario is the fastest 45 minutes of my week. Thank you Mario!!!!!!

With only one session, Mario was able to give me insight on my mental state. He is courteous and well spoken. I feel comfortable with him and judgement free.

Mario is wonderful. I have worked with therapists in the past and mostly been frustrated by their lack of help. I wanted a short-term course correction for myself, not an endless engagement with a therapist. Mario sat with me in the initial consultation and said, "I think we can handle this in about six sessions." He was right! He is very kind, and listens well, but will also give you as much pushback as you can handle. He'll challenge your thinking and even give you homework. This was everything I've ever looked for in a therapist and will be looking for him again next time I feel the need!

Mario is a great therapist.

Mario is fantastic. From day 1, he’s never made me feel like I had to pretend or hide things. I’ve had some not so great experiences with therapy in my past but Mario makes me want to tell everyone that they just need the right person to listen and then it’s fantastic.

Mario listens, and has great compassion. He has been very supportive and helpful. I look forward to further sessions.

Mario is very understanding and the best therapist I've ever had. He is very knowledgeable and a really good listener too. He has helped me sort through alot of stuff in my life

Mario is a wonderful listener. After our first call, he was able to narrow down what the expectation in myself was. He’s very encouraging and I look forward to our sessions

I am having a positive experience. Mario is great.

I’m going to start this by saying I’ve only had 1 session with Mario. Some people my see that as not knowing the therapist long enough to write a review. But the reason why I think it’s important to note, is because after one single session. I knew he was a good match for me. He’s personable, he responds at a reasonable time. He really tries to understand the struggles you carry and help you with them. It was hard for me to get into therapy. Because I was raised from a boy to not show signs of weakness. And therapy to me was just another sign of weakness. Like it’s admitting defeat. But it wasn’t. I met with a couple other therapists and I didn’t hit it off with them. But Mario was different and I appreciate that. I feel like I can crack a joke with him, just as much as I can talk about deep things that are on my mind. He’s not just a therapist he’s a great guy. And I look forward to working to a better mental state with him helping me along the way.

Mario is helping me through some dark times and encourages me and sends me gratitude!!! even though I feel like I’m going through the fight of my life , and possibly the worst time of my life !!!! it’s nice to have Mario listen to get advice and be on the right trac, I’m hoping and praying and it feels like he has a step-by-step plan for me to make me a better human being I believe is his goal… I also feel Mario has a good bead on how I’m feeling and what I want to get at or get out

Great first 2 sessions. I believe in this

Mario is great. His approach is a good fit for my needs from therapy. I feel lucky to have been matched with him.

I have spent just a short time talking with Mario and can honestly say this is one of the best decisions I have made. He meets me right where I am at and does not make me feel pressured in anyway. He listens to me fully, even when I ramble, and always has insightful words to bring to the table. I cannot wait to see the progress that we make, I’m so thankful for his help.

Mario checks on my by text. Thank you. Mario

Mario offered just what I needed, when I needed it. I was feeling lost and hopeless due to multiple losses of loved ones. He was the ear I needed when my loved ones couldn’t be…..they’re too close!!!

Mario seems to be a very caring person. After one session I felt better than I had been feeling.

Seems like we are working towards building a rapport
