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. 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.

Overall

Laura is absolutely fantastic. When I signed up for therapy I initially hoped my therapist would simply validate my feelings and experiences so that I didn’t feel alone on the proverbial mountain. Laura didn’t do that because what she does is far more effective. She has helped me to validate myself, to look internally and create my own acceptance. She doesn’t give me the answers, she helps me to discover them for myself which is far more powerful and effective in creating real change. She is so compassionate, and you can feel that throughout each session. She is also a very good listener, she listens without judgement and will gently nudge you with the feedback that you need to hear. She’s gone above and beyond to communicate with me outside of the session via text as well. Can’t speak highly enough about her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to change their life for the better.

I have been working with Laura for a few years now and I can’t speak highly enough about her incredible expertise, patience and deep skill as a therapist. My internal landscape is a completely different place these days and I attribute much of that to her wisdom and guidance. She is nonjudgemental, kind, clear, direct, and experienced. I am often in awe of how she makes me feel so heard and held, while also nudging me just enough at just the right time. I am so grateful I have had the opportunity to work with her.

I have successfully worked with Laura for almost two years and her guidance has enabled me to accomplish my therapy goals. She is perspicacious, honest, open and an incredibly skilled therapist. She has gently kept me on track while still asking the hard questions. She is far and above the best therapist I have ever worked with and I have worked with many over the years. I know she wants to help me live my best life and it shows in all of our interactions. She’s amazing!

Laura and I have worked together for over a year and our partnership has transformed my life. She is remarkably adept at reflecting back and restating what I say in ways that lead me to see things differently. She is an outstanding therapist - responsive, respectful, creative and kind. She knows when to push and when to hang back and I trust her implicitly. I’ve had experience with many counselors/psychologists throughout my life and Laura is the absolute best.

I’ve been working with Laura over a year now and it has been life-changing. She excels at helping me to figure out what’s at the root of my feelings or an issue that we’re discussing. She keeps us on tract to accomplish my goals while still dealing with things as they come up. She effectively helps me to navigate the balance between being kind to myself while still expecting more of myself. I’m incredibly fortunate to be working with Laura.

Overall

Laura has been so accomodating to my unique needs and has been ridiculously helpful! She responds so quickly and somehow has the time to actually listen and form thoughtful responses. Therapy has been hard in the past because I haven't felt like the therapist is actually listening or understanding and Laura has changed my whole perspective. Can't recommend enough!

Overall

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Laura through a lot of issues that I had been sitting on for a long time- things that I didn’t even really know how to approach. She does an excellent job at getting to the heart of what’s bothering you. She offered multiple perspectives that were novel to me and helped me to approach issues that I was having with a different mindset. She also gave me tools to approach everyday challenges in more constructive ways.

Laura is a great therapist. She took the time to message me and get to know me and my problems. I’m sorry I couldn’t get to continue to have more therapy with her but people should feel lucky to have her as a therapist

Speaking with Laura has been really helpful. Even in a short period of time, I’m starting to feel a lot less anxious. Laura asks the right questions and is very thoughtful in her responses. The worksheets are great as they help me processes a lot of things that I had been holding in for a while.

Laura is wonderful and after only a few weeks I can really feel a difference in my emotional stability and outlook on life. She has been kind, insightful and given me many very helpful tools and new ways of looking at my situation. I’m really so grateful I’ve found her and can’t speak highly enough!
