I am so appreciative and grateful of having Kristi as my counselor. She follows up, checks in, and approaches things in a caring way that challenged me, but helped me to understand things I couldn’t see on my own. She pointed me in the right direction when she recognized it was time for me to move towards my next steps in therapy. Very resourceful and flexible when I needed to connect with her. I will miss our chats, she’s the best.

Kristi is an amazing counselor. She communicates clearly and sets realistic expectations. She is perceptive and tailors her time and techniques to the individual so you feel seen and heard. She is an excellent listener and is able to synthesize my experiences and ask questions that push me to work towards growth. It has only been two weeks into working with her and I appreciate her warmth, humor, empathy, honesty and growth inspiring nudge.

Kristi was a wonderful resource to me for several months. She helped identify the areas I was struggling with, talk it through, and offered solutions to help. Kristi went above and beyond by constantly following up with me to check on my status. She would also send helpful materials for me to read throughout the week without me asking. She did an excellent job, and I would recommend her to anyone needing help.

Kristi has been so helpful over the last couple of months of using Better Help! I am so thankful to have been paired with her after my first counselor quit counseling after only a few days of speaking with her. Kristi has helped me to know how to recognize what it is that is messing with my mood and be able to work through it and improve me mood! I truly hope that if I ever need counseling again, that I am able to be paired with Kristi! I appreciate everything she has done for me and I highly recommend working with her!

Kristi is great. I really like her approach. She is a bit "tough love" sometimes, but I think this is what I need, not to get away with things easily. She is very quick to respond to my messages. I really like the feeling that I can reach out to her at any time. This alone comforts me. I would definitely recommend Kristi, and I have recommended Better Help to a couple of friends already.

Kristi has been fantastic. I started online counseling because I wasn't sure who I could talk to about my feelings.

I am in a time of need, and Ms. Myricks has been here for me. Through thick and thin, she has affirmed me even when I have been too gutless to affirm myself. She's given me the tools to stand back up straight again and begin to hold my head high instead of being stuck in a wallowing, helpless pit. She's been the outstretched hand that gives me goosebumps to be able to stand up, take my mat and walk again. I'm still on a journey, and I'm thankful, so thankful for Kristi Myricks, cause I might not be where I'm at in this journey if it weren't for her.

Within the first 24 hours of signing up, Kristi brought me out of a dark place and provided the tools I needed to put me on a path of positivity. For years I have sent myself negative messages without realizing it. I am now able to recognize these messages and derail them rather than letting negative / irrational thoughts prevail. Kristi was highly responsive and replied to my messages within minutes. We exchanged at least ten messages the very first day. I am grateful for her caring nature, helpful suggestions and support. Thank you, Kristi!

Kristi is a blessing! She has helped me so much, and really helped me realize how to turn a bad situation into something I could grow from. With help from Kristi I have looked inward on how I can change a situation for myself.
Every problem is something to grow on. People fall... but will you get back up?
I have quit smoking with Kristi, continued my yoga practice, and found joy in little things in life. I am glad I was paired with her as my counsel. Kristi will listen to yourtruly and give you the answer that needs to be heard. Her exercises are very helpful and really allow you to see the situation at hand for what it is.
