Recent reviews
From the very first session, I knew Anna would help me. I felt very comfortable with her, even when talking about difficult topics. She asks the right questions and helps me to understand my thoughts and feelings when I don’t understand them myself. She has been a great neutral perspective who doesn’t just listen to me talk. She tells me when she thinks I’m right and isn’t afraid to tell me when I over-react to things based on my past trauma. This has helped me put things in perspective and work on triggers to become a better person with a healthier mindset. If you have any sort of anxiety or have gone through a traumatic situation and are looking for someone to really help you, Anna is the best.

About online counseling

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.

Anna listens well to my concerns and gives feed-back that I may dislike but is in my best interest but is a positive. Honest and helpful.
Anna is very sweet, Karen, a great listener, and really helps me feel comfortable in talking about the issues that really bother me and takes a lot of consideration and helping me find the solutions I need to better myself.
She is amazing
Anna not only listens but hears you. As my first therapist ever she has shown me nothing but patience kindness and support. I can’t lie to her. I can’t thank her enough as well. Through years of thinking no one understands. She does.
I’m very happy I tried BetterHelp. They paired me with the best counselor with my information I provided. I’ve been seeking for the right counselor for a while and found her here! Thank you
