About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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’ve had three sessions with him and they have all been amazing. He’s given me a lot of new perspectives and things to think about which is great for an over thinker! He’s so kind and you can see he genuinely cares.

I am new to seeking therapy but I have to say that this councillor has been great supporting me and helping me figure out my mind. He takes a lot of time and listens to your concerns and also has great ideas on where is you can feel better or work towards your goals. I would highly recommend him.
