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

I have been enjoying having Martha as my therapist! She listens and doesn't make me feel crazy or judged. Gives great advice, tools, and techniques for my anxiety and stress. 100% would recommend Martha for anyone, honestly.

She is kind and a good listener.

Miss Hamm is kind, she allows me to talk through my issues without making me feel guilty or embarrassed. She redirects when necessary and ask questions that help me think more clearly about my circumstances.

She is very caring and insightful. She really helps me dive into what is bothering me/going on and ways to try and overcome those obstacles.

Very good listener and has good coping mechanism recommendations.

Martha is such a kind soul that from the very first session I felt heard and understood. Her years of experience have given her the ability to get to the root of the problem and help you navigate your way out

Martha is a great listener, I feel understood and cared for during our sessions. She helped me a lot to overcome the emotional challenges I faced

Martha is gentle and wise in her responses. She listens but responds with a direct honesty that builds trust and confidence. I found her a fabulous person to guide me through my feelings and hope we continue to have sessions on the future as life will always throw up issues that need consideration and perspective

Martha is kind and a great listener- She helped me understand behaviors I was dealing with and made me feel confident in my boundaries. Thank you Martha

Martha is a great therapist. She truly listens and cares about her clients. I think that anyone who gets Martha as a therapist can see that she is genuinely wants to help you.

Martha is the bomb I highly recommend her and better help it’s a game changer for receiving therapy!

Working with Martha helped me overcome a lot of the emotional issues I had for years. I am very thankful for her help.

She has been absolutely amazing as a therapist to me. She has definitely helped me through some difficult rough patches in my life and the only reason I am not going on call anymore is the timing for me. I appreciated every call. And anybody who gets this therapist will definitely see some profound changes in their life.

Great therapist!!!

"I came to BetterHelp wanting guidance on how to process my feelings, and how to learn to grow into a better man; Martha helped immensely. Martha was a steady, nurturing hand who sincerely wanted to see me get better. Oftentimes we would share a laugh over something funny; and she'd bring a ray of positivity to my day, no matter what was happening. Choose Martha, you won't regret it"

Martha, is highly educated and insightful.

Ms. Martha Hamm is so easy to talk to, express my thoughts, concerns and feelings . She gets me to challenge myself and to continue to grow and learn. I use to talk trash about people saying they need a therapist or.counseling and I was TRULY wrong and insecure bout my ownself . So I'm thankful for her and the feedback I receive

Martha is a wonderful therapist!

I really enjoyed my sessions with Martha. She provides thoughtful, helpful responses and really got me to acknowledge things I knew but needed to know.

My sessions with Martha have been very helpful! Martha is a very kind and warm person, who empathizes really well. She is also very good at pacing sessions according to what her clients need or want out of a session. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Thank you! you’ve been great

Martha has been integral in the stability of my mental health.

She’s awesome

Very supportive!

I would be lost without Martha for the past 7 months. I’ve made peace with my pain, I’ve learnt to draw boundaries and more than anything else, to believe in myself. Martha has made it so easy for me to express myself, to be myself. I could tell Martha anything without the fear of being judged. I always look forward to my sessions, am excited to tell her the things I’ve felt and experienced during the week, both good and bad. Martha has become a part of my life and is instrumental to helping me getting back on my feet again when it felt like my world was falling apart and I just walked through life aimlessly. I can write pages about how incredible Martha is, but it’s best you find out for yourself. Thank you Martha! -J

Martha is very helpful, listens and gives context and help when needed, very considerate and offers many approaches to areas of concern.

Martha is hands-down the best therapist. She has helped me work through a lot of my traumas and remained kind and supportive the whole way through. She really cares about her clients and it shows with every session. She has suggested additional resources that have really helped me along the way and I could not be more grateful. Martha has really helped change my life for the better.

I enjoy working with Martha.

Martha has been a wonderful constant in what has been a world of chaos for me these past years. Having moved countries during the pandemic, the flexibility in schedule and that she is able to provide via BetterHelp has been invaluable. For a caring listener who provides encouragement where it’s most needed, I can’t give a high enough recommendation of Martha.

Martha is a very empathetic and a nonjudgmental therapist. She listens to your concerns and communicates with validation. She makes you feel comfortable so she’s easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend!

Martha have helped me realized things that were difficult for me to do on my own. I have gone through one of the most difficult experience in my life and i thought i was still grieving from the passing of my Dad. Martha helped me realized the rootcause of my anxiety and depression which was the trauma that I went through. Knowing the rootcause helped me managed my triggers and attacks. I had really good sessions with her. We laughed and I cried but I have learned a lot. Thanks for the help Martha. Pls take care and stay safe always.

Martha is amazing! She’s so kind & professional. I trust her expertise 100% .

Martha is so amazing, understanding and patient. Everyone needs a Martha in their life.

Martha is such a great and supportive listener. She tries her best to understand her clients, make note of things that are important to them, and let them know about it. I always leave my sessions feeling heard and validated. Thank you Martha!

Martha is a breath of fresh air concerning other counseling experiences. She listens well and is able to connect important meanings to help me better understand things I struggle to be conscious of. Thankful for her and her therapeutic skills.

Martha listens and works to understand me, she then reiterates the point to be sure that I agree that what she understood is what I meant. It’s easy talking to her too.

Martha has been so inspiring

Martha is an amazing therapist. Every session I have exercises and a better understanding on what to work on. I feel I am progressing and have the space to share freely. She always find the right words and don’t hesitate to be direct when needed. I truly recommend to work with her.

Martha is a one of a kind therapist. I’m so thankful to have her support and guidance through difficult times.

I have really enjoyed my experience with Martha

Martha is a wonderful therapist. And here’s why: 1. Intelligent and Knowledgeable. The reason why my therapy sessions have been so successful is because Martha is so well versed in her areas of expertise. For example, she offers me tools and techniques to cope with my stress and panic attacks- both of which have decreased since starting our sessions together. I am now able to identify my stressors, acknowledge my emotions, and use various methods to slowly get rid of my anxiety. At the moment, she’s helping me achieve my goals that have been hindered by my anxious thoughts. I also wanted to make a note that she takes my culture (Asian American) into consideration with regards to our session- something I’m both impressed with and thankful for. 2. Approachable and kind personality We’ve established a good rapport immediately because she is so kind. She does not judge. She was able to sympathize with me when I was crying and make me laugh at the same time. And she’s very patient and wonderful. You could really tell she just wants the best for you. 3. Professional Martha has never missed any of our appointments. She’s very prompt and gives you her full attention during the sessions. She always answer my questions if I need help or advice. She also helps me explore solutions I never would’ve thought of if it weren’t for her helpful hand. All in all, her intelligence, kindness and professionalism makes Martha a fantastic therapist. Which is why I highly recommend her☺️

Martha is very supportive, attentive, and helpful. During the sessions, she's able to listen and guide me to identify my emotions and struggles and provide a direction for me to work towards a better self.

Martha is amazing, responsive, very easy to talk to and a very good listener with tons of good advice and insight

She has been an amazing counselor, more like an Angel when I needed the most. So grateful to have a counselor who listens, respects and gives me grest advice.

Martha has been amazing in our little amount of time together, offering insightful questions and feedback, and identifying patterns in behavior. Highly recommended!

The first interaction with Martha was spot on..we connected immediately. She seemed calm n very attentive. She has a way with her words. Great with suggestion n advise . And the conversations are not always too serious but also fun. Really great working with him. I would highly recommend her.

Martha is amazing. She’s really helped me with my anxiety.

Martha is a wonderful, supportive, patient and very skilled therapist. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Martha has been absolutely amazing!! She is a wonderful listener and gives great feedback. Its like having a very educated friend. We have laughed so much together and she is so easy to talk to!! What a blessing!!

Martha has completely changed my outlook on things. She is a fantastic listener and has given me the tools and advice I need to move on with my life. These 4 sessions have improved me more than I could ever have imagined. If you are looking to speak with a counsellor, then I could not recommend Martha any more.

Going great so far, Martha is so easy to talk to like a dear friend!

Martha was amazing made me feel at ease Like I’d known her for years Her ability to just say a few words that would open doors in my memories that I didn’t even know I had I had many issues that I needed to address but Martha seemed to be able to wave a wand like a magician to making me see things differently Almost immediately A great lady who I will miss as a person But it shows how great she is at her job that I am able to now say goodbye to her And spread my wings and fly with confidence I will always remember her methods and I now feel like I can pay it forward So Martha didn’t just help me She helped my friends and family too. Because I would tell them how my therapy went and they could see certain things in their own lives after so differently too Highly recommended *****

Martha is an excellent counselor and has helped me so much over the past few months! I’m so grateful for her and would highly recommend!

Martha Hamm was a wonderful counselor. She helped me come to realize things about myself and my life that I failed to fully see myself. This journey that I have been on with her has been so helpful for my mental health, and for my life in general. My anxiety is finally under control. I feel like I can live again, like I can be myself unabashed. To the onlooker reading this review, she is one in a million. It was an honor working with her. I can’t express how helpful she really was. My life is changed for the better because of our sessions.

Martha is a great listener. Based on our first scheduled session, I felt at ease and understood. I look forward to future discussions, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an open-minded, professional, and personable counselor.

Martha is great! She listens, doesn’t judge, and makes your path forward clear. If you got her, you lucked out

Great counselor. Very knowledgeable.

Martha is the second therapist I’ve had on BetterHelp. She embodies wisdom, poise, respect, understanding and respect, while always maintaining an open heart and posture that makes me feel welcome, heard, understood and supported.

She’s very understanding and very helpful. She is caring and truly wants to help. I would recommend her to anyone. And would continue to use her as my counselor. She has helped me understand what I’m dealing with and also has helped me understand how to deal with it. And it has helped a lot.

Good counseling. Best communication experience I've had. Personally other counselors just didn't really try to help they just push me onto medication, so I would definitely recommend Martha or BetterHelp in general.

Martha has been an incredible source of objectivity for me. Even in just 3 weeks she has shed a lot of light on my deepest concerns and has put me on a healthy path to cope through them. Even though I live halfway across the globe I get to schedule at a time very convenient for me.

Martha has been a very kind support to me in a time when I needed it. I am really glad I found her at a time when talking to someone has been essential to me. She is really great at helping me make decisions and looking at things clearly.

I have found Martha to be extremely helpful. Her advice points me in the right direction and I feel an improvement for taking it.

Martha is always on time for our sessions and is available at night which really helps. At the end of a session I might be crying and emotional but I always feel better about myself and my situation. She’s taught me a few skills that help me get through self doubt, anxiety, and panic. She is always very nice and gentle with her advice and never judgmental. I feel comfortable talking to her.

She has been very helpful. She responds very quickly and she tries to understand you. I have felt a lot better after talking with her.

Martha Hamm is a one of the best counsellors there out there. She has suburb communication skills, professional background and understands the clients very well and gives remarkable feedback as if you had her for a long time. Quality sessions rather then quantity - Well recommended!
