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

She is a fantastic listener, extremely patient. And makes you feel truly seen and heard without any judgement. She offers what feels like a incredibly save space to let out anything and everything that you’re feeling or struggling with, and she offers reasonable goals and advice on how to properly manage them.

Overall

Dr Porter is amazing, insightful, empowering, intuitive, supportive, nurturing and provides thought provoking, soul searching “homework” to help you make the best decision for yourself no matter how hard it may be.

Overall

Dr Porter is so good at what she does. I have heard accounts of therapists not listening, not understand, having bad advice: none of that is true with her. She really deeply understands the situations we discuss, is gentle with suggestions, and doesn’t seem bossy or judgmental ever. It creates a really great space to open up, get suggestions, and get help. Even though she does come in very kind and calm to most scenarios, I think it’s her ability to give a more rigid side as well that can create comfort during some more anxiety driven moments, when that feeling of something more grounding is needed; she is great at playing on both sides of the court. Overall, she is a super balanced therapist, who obviously has experience in her field that has been given me some of the most progress i’ve seen emotionally in my life, and I feel so much better for it.

Overall

Though I've just started therapy with her, I feel like I am being heard and seen for the first time in my journey with therapy. I feel like I am healing the trauma from childhood and understanding the chain of events in my life that have led me to the place I am at. I am thankful.

Overall

Dr. Porter from the start provided a nice friendly atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. I felt like she genuinely cared and had my best interests at heart. She is very knowledgeable and very attentive. In just a few sessions I felt comfortable talking about my issues. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Dr. Porter has been so amazing between being a great listener and giving me the advice I need to hear. She has done wonders for my anxiety already and I’ve only had two sessions so far!

Overall

Dr. Porter has been instrumental in helping me navigate self-sabotage, a break-up and family matters. Her insight has helped me strengthen my tools to navigate stressful situations and I'm grateful. Highly recommend!

Jul 26, 2023

Overall

I think Doctor Porter has really strong reactive listening abilities, and quickly navigates understanding the complexities of what someone's trying to share and conveys the message she believes they need to hear.

Jun 02, 2023

Overall

She continues to guide while allowing me to talk out what i'm going through. She reminds me subtly that she listens very well by bringing up points from one session to the next and she has been very patient with me as i'm working through this tough spot in my life. I'm very happy with the pairing and I look forward to digging in further as soon as I finish assignments and bring them on-time to allow Dr. Porter to work through them to get to next steps!

Dr. Porter so far has been a great listener, supportive, and willing to be flexible.

She is extremely personable and understanding. I had a few reservations about BetterHelp therapy but I can say that I have never had a better therapist. Thanks so much doc!

Jan 24, 2023

Overall

Dr. Porter was excellently helpful and understanding! I always felt heard and finished each session feeling motivated to work on myself to become a better version of myself, even if things felt rough at the moment. I know that it’s a long journey to become more confident and comfortable with myself, but I feel like Dr. Porter helped guide and made me feel like I am on the right track.
