These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Viktoriya Karakcheyeva. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She was very good! If I had major issues, I could see how she would be very helpful but it’s not really worth the price for day-to-day issues (not her fault). She’s very smart, listens extremely well, and is logical. All the things I needed in a counselor and more! I wish I felt that I needed counseling more haha!
