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.

I’ve found Valerie McFarland to be very beneficial to my therapeutic process and journey of self discovery. She has provided a kind ear to my concerns and valuable insights into my situation. I feel that her personal and professional experiences, distilled through her approach to therapy, gives her a unique perspective amongst the therapist I’ve encountered. She has helped me to address my responsibilities and my productivity has increased in a healthy manner. She has helped me find my ability to express some of my feelings and ideas that I previously couldn’t articulate. Regardless of any other services from BetterHelp, my therapeutic sessions with Valerie are worth the subscription cost.
