Sarah is very down-to-Earth. She discusses situations that are occurring presently in my life, which is what I need. She is caring, remembers what is happening in her clients' lives, takes extra time with her patient(s) when needed and can always hold a meaningful, truly helpful and empowering conversation. I remember 2 weeks ago, I was thinking that I really did not know what to talk about. Right away, she asked some great questions and we had a deeply meaningful conversation. She is my 1st therapist and I couldnt be happier. Because of her and her help,I have recommended "Better Help" to family and friends.

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.
