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.

Knowledgeable counselors who listens. Great at helping me to see the full picture. I look forward to our sessions and his expertise.
I came to Dr. James with issues mainly with connections, entrepreneurship and confidence and he is helping me soo much to be confident and to build connections. From the beginning of our meetings I have developed over 10 different connections with other moms. Most importantly the relationship with myself is improving. I am more vulnerable and self confident than ever! So we work throught hings like that and it is so helpful!

He’s positive and thoughtful, and provided some great insight that truly help me to see my circumstances in a manageable way. I am truly grateful Jim and I cross paths. I would highly recommend him.
James is wonderful at what he does
James is a truly stand up guy who greatly values both my time and my concerns. He's extremely helpful in helping me navigate the minefield of negative thoughts that have been pervasivly living in my head. I came to better help expecting to have to go through multiple therapists to find one that would work well with me but when I landed on James and after our first session that expectation proved that it wasn't needed. James is a terrific human being through and through and I wouldn't be who I am today without him.
He’s a really great listener, and I appreciate him greatly.
Jim has been a great help to get me back to a place of productivity in life. He is a great listener and is able to step back and see the big picture, and articulate how to make positive changes in life. I would definitely recommend him highly.
James Joseph Beaulieu has been an incredible source of guidance and support on my journey towards personal growth and emotional well-being. From our very first session, James created a warm and welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. His empathetic and nonjudgmental approach allowed me to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings in a safe space. Throughout our sessions, James actively listened, offering insights that were both enlightening and thought-provoking. What truly stands out about James is his genuine dedication to my progress. He tailored our discussions to my specific needs and concerns, and his expertise in various therapeutic techniques was evident as he skillfully guided me through challenges and helped me develop effective coping strategies. James consistently provided resources, exercises, and tools to work on between appointments, which greatly enhanced the impact of our work together. Thanks to James compassionate guidance, I have experienced significant personal growth, gained a deeper understanding of myself, and learned to navigate life's challenges with resilience and positivity. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone seeking a skilled and caring therapist who is genuinely invested in their clients' progress and well-being.
Jim is an extremely good listener and also provides very insightful feedback. I like that he is willing to give you moments during sessions to take a quiet pause and reflect before providing a response or continuing the conversation, often times those are moments of real breakthrough. He is professional, supportive, understanding, and experienced. I can’t say enough good things about Jim.

James Joseph Beaulieu is an excellent therapist with years of experience, a kind heart and very compassionate and understanding approach with his clients. I am grateful to have had his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great therapist.
Absolutely amazing!
James is amazing, I feel a lot of relief after having my perspective listened to and validated by him. And I feel a great sense of encouragement from him to heal and grow. I think I might even be feeling happier - even if only slightly !
Jim has been great so far. Always in communication, empathetic, and supportive.
I appreciate the candor and affect Dr. Beaulieu applies to his work. Looking forward to continuing my therapy with him.
Jim has been outstanding so far! Just had my third session with him and I’m really thankful I found him. He is supportive, empathetic, kind and you can tell he really cares. One of the things that I find helpful is that he just doesn’t agree with you but gives you practical steps to take and challenges you to find ways to understand who you are. He is helping me through one of the toughest valleys of my life. I truly appreciate how responsive he is as well. It’s not just the sessions but him taking time out of his day to send messages of encouragement and check on me. I’m a Christian and he has been supportive in my beliefs along the way and has been a blessing in my eyes so far. I look forward to continuing our sessions and see how he can help me through all of my struggles. Keep doing Gods work Jim!
Jim is awesome and caring. I highly recommend.
James is an outstanding therapist, great with listening and offering useful and accurate observations and opinions highly recommended
Jim is brilliant!! He’s so insightful - actually to a scary degree sometimes and so positive. He’s been very very generous with his time and his wisdom and I cannot thank him enough for that. It’s got me through a rough patch. I actually look forward to therapy now - because I am interested in his insights and I feel there’s a way forward. When I had therapy before I often felt quite drained not empowered! 20/10 - thanks Jim!!
2 sessions in and I am very much enjoying my time. Looking forward to more.
Very understanding and helpful
Three sessions in. I feel heard and my thought processed challenged. Unlike going to the dentist, this “doctor visit” is something I find myself anticipating.
Great
Great experience.
Jim is great ! He really listens and I can really express myself when talking to him.
BetterHelp is a literal life saver! I was pushed here over an event that greatly upset me and buried my confidence and self respect. And when I had prayed to God to send some sort of answer, he gave me the website, and this service gave me James Beaulieu! This man is a GENIUS! In not just the advice, but the way he talks to me inspires me to dig deep into my issues stemming from Childhood. The Service itself has also been so great in working with me financially - with the economy the way it is, and the timing when I sought help, they have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure I have access to the help I need so I don't hinder my progress and growth! As an Indie Filmmaker/Writer, you can bet that the lessons I am learning are being applied to help others, and I'll be taking the GOOD WORD and PRAISE of BetterHelp and Mr. Beaulieu with me! Thanks for everything, guys! I think I'll stay a while! :)
James is super kind and helpful. He is honest and respectful. Never had a therapist that I’ve felt this comfortable with. I don’t feel judge and he reminds me that we are humans and we make mistakes and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself… and this is all only in one session. Can’t wait wait to see the results of working with him
