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 had not done therapy for any prolonged period of time. This was mostly due to never finding someone I really felt that I was coing away with tangible results and saw change. With Robert I am finally getting some actionable suggestions and I come away feeling like progress has been made and I can see the results in my everyday life.

I strongly recommend Robert as a therapist, I have been working with him for the last 2 years, and since then I have made great progress with my mental health. The fact alone I can say it and mean it, is proof in itself.

I highly recommend Robert.

Robert is absolutely wonderful! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He has a great amount of experience and wisdom. Exceeded my expectations of therapy, especially on a digital platform! I dealt with tendencies of overthinking, anxious thought patterns, and some perfectionism. Robert taught me many strategies, tools, and quotes that I can easily carry with me. He is so kind and a great listener. He remembered all the details. I feel so much better, and I am so grateful for all of his help!

I've turned at least three people on to this. One has taken the bait for sure, the others, haven't followed up for privacy reasons. I think this actually works BETTER than going to the office. I'm in MY environment, and this makes for a better transference environment. Specifically Robert: he gets me ... and just by accident we have a lot of shared life experience, so he doesn't have to work so hard to understand the things I'm dealing with. I've been very successful in dealing with issues of the "now" and issues of the "future"... well they're coming. this is working very well.

After my 3 interactions with Robert, I can only say I wish I had found him sooner. I was extremely skeptical about seeing a therapist and more fundamentally I was pessimistic about the possibility of being happy. My skepticism is proved baseless. I am now better able to cope with anxiety, he has introduced and suggested coping strategies (ABC Model) to get through difficult times thereby build self confidence and improve relationship at work. Thank you Robert.

Great fit! I have very specific goals for my therapy, and we're getting right to them. He understands well, and we communicate well. I must say that I was concerned about video visits, but I actually like them better than in person. This is working very well for me.

It's been five months since I am using the BetterHelp platform, and from day one, Robert is my counsellor. I feel incredibly safe sharing my thoughts with him as he guides me through those high mountains I can't climb alone. The method he uses helps me cope with the anxiety that hides underneath that old rug we know so well. I am feeling more relaxed and way much happier since counselling started. But I know, this is not a short time solution. I would suggest counselling to anyone who is struggling with life, work, feelings.

Robert is a kind and understanding counsellor, I've been talking to him for well over 6 months now, and we've made great progress in that time.

Reviewed November 2020

Robert helped me get out of the really terrible state that I was in for a couple weeks. I hadn't had a very bad depression episode like this in quite sometime, so when it did happen, it hit hard. I felt safe, not judged, sharing my personal details. The things or concepts he had me take into consideration helped me see things in a better light and were realistic. I had gone to a psychiatrist and psychologist several years ago and never went again after seeing their actual notes that they made about me. I had seen them because I had requested my medical records at one point. Horrified, I never sought out any more therapy. But like I said, Robert didn't make me feel ashamed or judged, the trust and safety was a comfort. I am now more open to continuing therapy :)
