Melissia Bennett helped me tremendously through a very dark, down period in my life. She helped me recognize once again that I had value, was reasonable, and wasn't asking for impossible things from myself or others. She used humor and honest candor to help me work through the things that made me feel stuck and move forward. I highly recommend Melissia Bennett, and I am so grateful for her.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Melissia Bennett is a GODsent! In the time that I was with her, she helped me to understand and deal with the life of trauma that I had been masking for 45 years while giving me the tools and knowledge to be very present in my day to day life. She was always very patient and professional with me, especially during times that I wasn't the easiest to deal with. I thank GOD for her daily and kudos to you BetterHelp for having such an amazing member of your staff!
Wonderful
Amazing
Kind, helpful
Melissa's style is conversational which puts you at ease. I feel she understands my issues and provides tools and insight for me to better understand myself.
So far I've only had one session with Melissia, and it went very well. She got me thinking about stuff about myself that I never would have. I will continue sessions with her. I highly recommend Melissia.
Really enjoy our sessions.
Melissia is God sent
Melissia is AMAZING!! I'm do thankful that GOD aligned up. She has helped me in ways that I didn't recognize that I needed help. I recommend her to anyone skeptical about therapy!!
My first session with Melissia was great and I look forward to working with her moving forward.
