Susan is fantastic. I didn't know what to expect as this is my first experience with therapy and Susan's been patient, understanding, empathetic, quick to respond, I fear where I'd be without her guidance and help.

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.

I have not been on BetterHelp for very long, but through the time that I have use the service I have some breakthroughs and improvements in my life and I can only hope that it continues and I appreciate what the service has provided given it being difficult for me to receive Professional help because of bias views in our society .

Susan is a really great listener and keeps up with me very well. I was very nervous to start therapy and she’s made the whole experience amazing.

Reviewed January 2024

Susan has been wonderful to talk with each week. For me, I need someone to act as a therapist but also feel like a friend. If a therapist is too clinical, I have a hard time opening up. I feel judged and will ultimately close off. But, having a friendly, and somewhat casual-feeling, discussion helps me to express myself and speak up about my issues I need help with. She's excellent at switching between the two facets to get me to talk. And, she's helped me to look more at myself and my family relationships in different ways. I look forward to our sessions each week.

Susan is patient, clear, and tries to ensure I understand her reasoning behind everything she tells me. As an autistic person, this is crucial. She's also kind and accepting of the things I talk about; she doesn't judge. I've always been a bit leary of therapy, but Susan's demeanor put me at ease immediately.
