These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kara Justo. 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.
Kara has been incredibly helpful since I started working with her. I joined BetterHelp in a time of crisis and with her support I was able to work through that time and our sessions have morphed into working through a lot of other things that I didn’t realize originally were things that needed to be worked on. There are times where I just need an unbiased opinion on something and Kara provides that support and opinion.

Kara has been amazing as I navigate through my depression/anxiety.
I’ve never don’t typically have success with telehealth therapy, however, her ability to engage and provide feedback has helped me tremendously.
