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.

Erica has truly been a godsend to me! I have struggled with and managed anxiety throughout my life. When anxiety started to creep back into my life recently, I was so overwhelmed and discouraged! Erica could not have been a better match for me. She’s extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also so fun and real! This helped me to open up to her, but also helped me to laugh at myself...which I needed more than I even knew! Erica helped me remember the tools I learned in previous years of therapy, and also taught me new tools and strategies. Erica Innocent is changing the world...she certainly changed mine!!

Erica has been such a blessing to me! I’ve struggled with anxiety throughout my life and have sought out therapy previously. After being out of therapy for a few years, I was in a place in my life where I needed a “refresh!” Erica has helped, and continues to help me use my anxiety cooping tools, build my confidence and navigate through my current life stage. She is so professional while being real and relatable. I enjoy BetterHelp and am beyond grateful that I was matched up with Erica!

Thanks to Erica, I've learned to trust the process of counseling and experience the benefits of taking the time to allow someone to understand the different challenges that each of us face. I'd recommend her and this platform without hesitation. Thanks, Erica!

I’ve been working with Erica for a couple of months, and I can say she has absolutely helped me. Not only did she understand what I wanted, she knew what I needed. It’s a testament to her talents as a counselor that she can connect with people so easily and quickly. She responds quickly to any message, is always on time for our appointments, and takes time to check in on me throughout the week—even when I don’t message her. Thank you, Erica!!
