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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.

Rufus is a great listener. My favorite thing about our sessions is that we don't hide who we are and we speak to each other crystal clear on hard topics. I really enjoy my sessions because I do feel listened and seen.

Rufus helped me greatly with some work-related productivity and motivation issues. He was attentive and supportive, but also wasn't afraid to challenge me on my bad habits and incorrect assumptions. His sense of humor and ability to avoid jargon in favor of clear terminology helped me connect with the advice he gave.

Overall

Rufus was a very straight shooter right from the start. He asked me questions that were simple and to the point and got to the root of the issues I needed to address. He challenged me by sending ample worksheets and very helpful thought activities which addressed my confidence, communication skills, and emotional maturity. I appreciated his direct approach and his ability to help me set achievable goals.

Mr. Alkebu-Lan was very kind and empathetic during my first session. He was very invested in my wellbeing and did his best to make me laugh and to listen to what I had to say. I will be working with him more going forwards.

Rufus is very kind and helpful while pushing me to think in the right direction instead of spiraling. He's relatable and professional and I can't recommend him enough.

Overall

I had an excellent experience with Rufus as my therapist. When I first started therapy I was a hot emotional mess and having loads of anxiety/insecurities/uncertainty related to a relationship I am in. Rufus was amazingly helpful and supportive. I appreciated his empathetic directness and room for me to figure things out at my own pace. I’m taking a break from BH - and when I return, I’ll ask for Rufus to be my therapist.
