Dawne is the perfect therapist for me. Nothing is off limits to discuss. She encourages me. She seems to know my issues before I know them, but somehow gets me to recognize them on my own.

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.

Dawne is the perfect therapist for me.

Reviewed August 2022

From the moment Dawne popped up on my phone, I felt connected to her. On our first visit it seemed like she immediately knew what my issues were. I was a complete emotional mess that day. Dawne reassured me that I was ok. Or would be. I have had other therapists in the past, good therapists. Dawne is better. She gives me work sheets that really help me. She is always attentive, encouraging and gentle. But she still, at the same time, helps me confront difficult situations and feelings. She is the best and with her help, I am better.

Dawne is amazing.

Reviewed November 2021

Dawne is a fantastic therapist who has helped me with tools and mindsets to navigate my addiction, depression, and anxiety, which has provided me a sense of control. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cognitive-behavioral mindset, changing your mindset to how you react to mental triggers that would otherwise prohibit you from living a whole and productive life.

Dawnes support and guidance has been invaluable to me in my life and career this year. I know that I would not have achieved what I have been able to, without Dawne this year. I feel seen, supported, heard and her practical suggestions have aided me greatly in my journey this year. Thank you Dawne

I have learned so much in the few months I've worked with Dawne. She is supportive and patient while I work through grief, trauma, and anxiety. She seems to know instinctively what helps me. I am using the tools she gives me, and the worksheets really help. Dawne is a perfect fit, which was my main concern.

Reviewed September 2021

I absolutely love talking to Dawne! I feel like I can talk to her about anything that is bothering me, there is nothing I wouldn't share with her - and I've not felt like that with other counselors before! I also love that Dawne gives the option for video call.
