I needed help during my first months of pregnancy, because my world was changing and things became too much and very confusing. I had a therapist before but he was a man and didn't work online. Better Help chose the best person I could imagine for my specifications and I could get help even on days when I couldn't leave the couch. Jo is so kind and non-judgemental, that I felt a lot of trust to share my inner world very openly from the very beginning. My baby is developing in a much calmer environment thanks to Jo. She is a therapist for both of us. :)

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.

Joanne is such an understanding and supportive therapist. She has so much knowledge and experience and always is very helpful with feedback and resources. I highly recommend her
Joanne is kind, smart and understanding. She offers genuine care and attention, applies active listening and keeps track of her patients. If you get a match with her, I recommend you give her a chance to help.
I’ve had one session with jo & a few messages inbetween and I have a lot of confidence in her. She is taking her time with me and is happy to do my sessions via chat as I struggle to verbally speak about things. She has pointed out a few options I have with work sheets etc to help with some of my issues & concerns. I’m a ver closed off person but I feel comfortable speaking to jo about my history & past traumas etc. Definitely hoping for a good future & with the help of jo I believe it’s possible! I would highly recommend jo to anyone who is struggling esp if you struggle to verbally say things out loud.
