I have experience in helping clients with most mental health disorders including but not limited to stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

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.

This is my first time with betterhelp and I was paired with Patricia right of the bat. She made me feel soooo comfortable. during my first session, if there was ever a time I didn't speak she could fill the silence with knowledge and anything else to help me open up. 10/10.

Patricia Bell is phenomenal. She is an outstanding therapist counselor. She's very very patient. She takes the time and I can understand what she's saying. Every detail. She gives me feedback so and it's very helpful. I definitely recommend anyone that needs help and needs a person that takes the time and effort and be patient with you. She's like the best one. She's my first one but I don't want anyone else. I really do like her. I really do see a growth within myself. Yes I definitely have a lot to go but small wins are awesome and the progress is progressing and the process is very good.

She is very professional. She listened and she helped realize what I was lacking and pointed the direction that I had to take from a therapeutic and Spiritual way to overcome my issues. She takes her time with her patients and makes them feel like there is a safe place with her. I strongly recommend her.

I will be glad to write a more complete review of Pat after a few more sessions. At this point, though, I am able to say Pat "fits" me well -- however the system in BetterHelp matches up clients with therapists, the system worked for me. My initial meeting with Pat flowed well, I felt comfortable sharing my feelings and the circumstances around what brings me to therapy. Thanks to my employer for providing this assistance program partnership with BetterHelp.

She’s a safe place for me. It feels like we are in person. She’s also a woman of faith which is so important to me. I highly recommend her.
