I was nervous about starting Betterhelp, but I really lucked out with Ms Carolyn on the first go. She has a lot of quality input, and a really kind approach to her therapy. In just a few sessions, she helped me work through some grief, past traumas and communication issues and still managed to have me leave sessions feeling relieved and genuinely better regardless of the subject matter. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a therapist. I’ve had a few therapists over the past decade, and she’s been the most helpful by far. <3

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
