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.

I really appreciate Julie’s unique and encouraging insight. She checks in regularly and always responds in a timely manner. Her guidance has helped me tremendously and now that she’s helped me make goals, I’m actually making progress in my life I didn’t think I was capable of without help. Very thankful for her.

Feb 15, 2024

Overall

Julie is easily my favourite therapist. I’ve been comfortable with her from day 1 (it’s been over a year now) and I always feel I can be vulnerable with her. I feel safe and supported, regardless of whether we’re laughing about family life or working through trauma. I can share - or not share - whatever I like, but Julie will absolutely take note of things to explore later. I’m in good hands with her, after years and years of uncomfortable and negative therapy experiences.

In the few sessions I've had with Julie I am already beginning to feel lighter and more willing to look at the light at the end of the tunnel, even if it can be overwhelming.

Dec 14, 2022

Overall

My experience with Julie has been really great. I have grown so much and learned how to manage the feelings and thoughts that made me come to BetterHelp in the first place. The progress was a slow uprise each week. No intense or scary changes, just a slow and steady uplift to where I am today. It took a lot of self-work to learn how to control and manage my anxiety, stress and panic attacks. I feel so much more calm and self-respecting, and also I feel like I know myself so much more than I ever have before. Highly recommend :)

I’m a therapist and I’ve been in therapy off and on for almost 8 years. I’ve never made as much progress as I have with Julie in such a short amount of time. She’s the perfect therapist’s therapist—- she knows how we think and work and is great at breaking through all of our defense mechanisms. Can’t recommend her enough.

Julie has made therapy really easy for me. She made me comfortable with her which is saying a lot because I don't like to talk about my problems. She caught my references and she used those as part of the therapy which felt really relatable !!

Sep 27, 2022

Overall

Walking through grief from the death of my baby that I will never meet feels like the worst suffering I may ever go through, but Julie has helped me in more ways than she'll ever know. Forever grateful that she holds space for my pain, recognizes my feelings as valid, gently celebrates my highs, and empathizes with me in my lows. I'm unsure of where I'd be if I hadn't started therapy but I'm so glad I made the choice, and that Julie is the one I can share with, my most honest of feelings.

Julie, warm and lovely Julie, really hears what I say, acknowledges my feelings, and validates my self-assessments of trauma triggers and responses. Speaking with her is like meeting a longtime friend for coffee. She’s been a breath of fresh air for me, after a long string of therapists who just weren’t experienced enough to help me meet my needs and build my toolbox. I feel solidly supported!
