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.

Kristi has been a great listener and has given me some valuable insight. I will definitely continue our sessions and highly recommend her to others
Kristi has been a godsend with her help in terms of my mental situation. I've often tackled life thinking I can take it on myself with the viewpoints I have. Kristi has opened the door to different ways to handle things and its helped tremendously. Just the few weeks I've been with her, I can tell this is going to truly make a difference in the long run. Thank you Kristi! Thank you BetterHelp! You've saved my life.
She very quickly identified my issues and has me on a plan forward. I really think she understands what going on in my life and she will help me resolve my problems. She very respectful and is comfortable yo talk to and share with
Kristi is understanding and easy to talk to. I enjoy our sessions because I never feel judged, only heard. She always provides exceptional guiadance that allows me to still make decisions based on my feelings/needs, not hers. She isn't a "bullly" therapiset that try to force you to make decisions based on their guidance, which I have encountered. Overall, I have had a great experience and gained good information from Kristi.
Kristi is incredibly kind, and a fantastic listener. From the very first session, I immediately felt at ease with her and have been working through various traumas. She listens to my babbling and takes notes that she recalls. I highly recommend talking with her!

Kristi's great! She was able to give me helpful feedback and advice about the situations I am currently facing. She also followed up with me and stayed in contact after our first session.

Kristi is the best! She really listens and is very wise. Always quick to respond and I feel like she really cares!
