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

I love my therapist she is kind and supportive and she has a way to show she cares and understands me

Her understanding of trauma is unparalleled. Very responsive and good at what she does

She is lovely and makes me feel seen.

It is so helpful to get sound advise, information and resources in addition to having someone listen and respond in session or with a timely message.

I began my therapeutic journey with Betterhelp never having experienced therapy before. Uncertain about what lay ahead, I found solace in the fact that my therapist, Karen Crawley Buckhotlz, actively listened to my concerns. Together, we delved into the exploration of my strengths and my weaknesses, devising strategies to navigate challenges, problem-solving, and fostering acceptance and release. Life is a series of highs and lows with choices that are sometimes crystal clear and at other times elusive. I am so grateful for the guidance that help me navigate through the complexities, allowing me to emerge from the challenges with a clearer sense of direction. This transformative process has left me feeling renewed and stronger than I have in a long time. Thank you, Karen.
