About online counseling

- Convenient.

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.

I want to thank betterhelp and Dr. Owen for assisting me with getting my mental health back in order at this critical time in my life. And I'm still continuing with them and iam so greatful and appreciate them.
Dr. Owen is kind, empathetic, and passionate about helping people. She listens to her clients and offers nonjudgmental, practical advice. During our sessions, she often hears the things that I struggle to say and gives me the space to work through my thoughts. Her council has helped me in a tremendous way, and I am so grateful.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be seen for who I am and have the space to work through my struggles with support and kindness. Being seen and not just noticed is a rare gift in this world.
She is absolutely amazing at what she does.
Comical, caring and knowledgeable are the top characteristics I would describe Dr. Jimenez by. She is always quick to respond to patients and flexible to accommodate any time frame/special needs her clients desires. There have been sessions where I can video chat with her 9:00 PM at night because that's the only time that lines up with my schedule, and there are days when we text back in forth when I can't find time to talk with her over the phone, but still need to reach out to someone for guidance.
I have worked with Dr.Owen for three years and she has helped me grow in ways I couldn’t even imagine.
I love my therapist and talking to her I know every week there will be something new to discuss. She has gotten me through A lot of hardship and I appreciate her for that
Dr. Owen he’s professional, kind good tips and techniques for coping with anxiety
Dr. Owen is the best

Shes amazing. Its really like im talking to my sister or a cousin. But shes a professional. I get excited on our wkly visits. Shes just great. She listens to me and tells me how to handle every situation. I thank god that im communicating more.
Even with both our busy schedules Dr, Owen Jimenez makes sure we have our sessions scheduled and will message me whenever I need to talk
Dr. Owen has helped my learn about myself and grow in personal development. Starting counseling was a fearful experience for me and she makes me feel comfortable, heard, and makes sure I know I am in control of my inner dialogue. She has helped my so much over the past few months it is hard for me to find the words for how much I appreciate her and trust her expertise.
Dr owen. I have been talking to Dr owen for a year now, and she has been helping me with different issues and she has been a great help...much appreciated Dr owen..
I have loved working with Dr Jiminez. She has been patient and thoughtful, really listening to me and helping me find the things that have been affecting my life.
Dr Owen has helped me work through things I was previously too afraid to even think about. I’m so happy I get to work with her! She’s absolutely amazing
Love her!
My experience with Dr. Owen Jimenez thus far has been great. She is such a warm and understanding person, which has made it easy for me to trust her and speak openly with her quickly. She strikes the perfect balance of professionalism and caring that makes her a wonderful person to work with.
She is very nice and provides good advice.
For the short tine I’ve been with Dr. Owen I’ve already felt way stronger and better than when I started. She is helping me so much understand what to look for in stressful situations and how to respond.
Dr. Owen Jimenez has treated with respect and understanding since the beginning of our counseling relationship. I appreciate the way encourages me to try new techniques for dealing with stress.
In short she is amazing, very patient and easy to talk to. She tries to really understand and listen to the circumstances of her clients and creates more of a friendship relationship rather than Dr patient relationship. I felt she was very experienced and confident in her profession when working with her. Although we have a time slot, our time together never felt rushed. I would have no problem recommending her to someone else.
Dr Owen is amazing ! I am truly thankful for having a therapist like her.
Even though I’ve only been seeing Dr Jimenez for a few months, she has been supportive and definitely someone you can feel at home with by being yourself. I am just glad that we are a good fit and work well together.
Dr. Jimenez changed my life. When I came to her months ago I was extremely depressed/cried 3x a day and now I am so beyond happy thanks to her incredible support and helpfulness. I never feel judged and she doesn't make our sessions awkward or uncomfortable. Never pushes me to talk about anything I don't want to. I am beyond lucky to have gotten her! 27995737274/10!!
Dr Owen cares and makes you feel heard. I appreciate how she checks in. I am glad I was matched with her and I am happy that she is working with me in my healing journey. Thank you Dr Owen!

She is awesome in her approach and very understanding and extremely resourceful.
Dr. Owen Jimenez was incredible. She always responded in a timely manner and checked in on me when she didn’t hear from me. She made me feel like my feelings were valid and it was understandable why I felt the way I felt. She allowed me to just vent without judgement. I highly recommend!
I came to Dr. Jimenez aware that I had things to work on, but not sure where to start. I also had a problem with accepting that my feelings and issues were completely valid. Dr. Jimenez has been an angel and has helped me immensely- I know that she is someone I can always depend on when times are rough. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to get help and counseling.
I love my counselor, Karen!
I have been talking to Dr. Owen for a few weeks now and she's been very helpful so far, looking forward to many more sessions with her and hoping for a better outlook on my life.

Dr. Owen Jimenez has been wonderful so far. She is very attentive and has taken the time to understand and address all of the reasons I wanted to start therapy. Would definitely recommend her!
Dr. Jimenez was very helpful and thoughtful. She was always available and understanding. Over the month I saw real improvement.
She is wonderful. Understanding, kind, non judgemental. And actually gives you feedback and advice not just listening. Very helpful.
I came into this program with a myriad of concerns. Dr. Jimenez has helped me to prioritize my life goals and start to accomplish the necessary tasks to succeed in them. These goals are my primary focus right now and the Dr. has helped me through some really tough spots and continues to assist me through others. She has been an amazing support and I don't think I could be doing what I am doing without her help. I have many other issues that I need to tackle with her and look forward to doing so as soon as possible. However, right now, the prioritization of these near-term goals is the only thing I care about. When I have brought up some other things, she has been more than helpful. Returning my focus to the tasks at hand while helping me cope with the other things that are cropping up. I could not ask for a Better experience and Dr. Jimenez has been perfect.
I love my time with Karen. She listens well and makes recommendations based on your experiences. She is also patient and nonjudgmental. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a top rate therapist.
Wonderful counselor, makes me feel comfortable and always points me in the right direction.
Dr. Owen is a good listener and takes the time to understand your situation. She would always ask questions to get to the core of the problem. She had gently nudged to challenge my thought process and my thoughts and validate it through a series of questions. Based on her recommendations, I have started writing a journal to capture my thoughts and this is certainly helping me a lot. She is amazing!!!
Overall kind and amazing. Really takes the time to understand me.
She is an excellent counselor who has the ability to make me feel supported but also hold me accountable.
