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.

I was matched with Ms. Butler initially and I love her as a therapist. She is the first therapist that I have had, so I was really nervous at first. However, she is so sweet and down to earth and not judgemental at all. I immediately felt at ease talking to her about my feelings and situation. I highly recommend her. She is very helpful and I would highly recommend her.

Overall

Genuinely unrivaled in her approach to therapy, Gaynor has consistently been a steadfast supporter and in some ways a professional confidant for most of the afflictions and conditions I have found myself in. There is no magic antidote to most of life's problems but talking things through with Gaynor and being able to establish truth through all the distractions and chaos has proven to be a close second. Thank you for your service and I am grateful for all the work we have done together!

Apr 05, 2023

Overall

What can I say about Gaynor Butler, amazing. I have never done or went to therapy before, so evidently I was nervous. That first call I was panicking, because that’s what I do. But when she picked and I heard her clear and cheerful voice, I relaxed. It was an amazing experience and opportunity to have worked with Gaynor. I was lucky as she was the first therapist I matched. She has truly helped me understand how I operate, thought me that what I want is okay, and that I shouldn’t have to make myself uncomfortable to suit other people’s need. What I trying to say is that Gaynor Butler has made me lighter in the best way, I have noticed how I have changed from the first session to our last and I am truly grateful. I know that I deserve respect and that I shouldn’t feel bad to demand respect, she taught how to stand up for myself (still working on it), compared to the years of just accepting behaviour. I’m just grateful that what I can say. Thank you soo much Gaynor truly.

Gaynor has honestly been so helpful! She’s amazing. She has been my first therapist and I feel she really understands me and sets relevant challenges and worksheets to get through, that ultimately helped me get through many of my reoccurring problems which I can now face head on knowing what to do. I can’t recommend her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to request her again if I come back to therapy in the future.

Gaynor has been amazing! I don't know that I would have been able to get over my relationship loss as well without her support. She's very supportive and caring. To know that I can message her whenever I need to has made me feel much less lonely. She's also helped me reflect on things I wouldn't have considered but that will likely help me in the future. I have really enjoyed working with her!

Gaynor is a great listener and always provides the best advice and feedback on how to deal with difficult life situations, thanks to which I’ve learned invaluable skills as well as learned to trust myself more. As a young adult, I feel like I’ve grown so much as a person just during the period that Gaynor counselled me and I couldn’t possibly recommend a better therapist!

I worked with Dr Butler for a few months because of some pretty bad relationship issues. I was in a terrible, dark place when I started, but she was nothing more than amazing, Helping me by not only talking to me, but giving me real mental tools to be able to tackle my issues. I could not have been happier with a therapist, especially since I've been through quite a few before who were not this caliber.

M.A.·Jul 10, 2021

Overall

I wasent sure what to expect, in general, about how counseling and talking to a therapist worked, because I havent really ever sought help from one before. I 've found that Gaynor has made me feel very comfortable with choosing to seek help with my depression, and in no way have I felt as though choosing to seek help makes me weak or broken, or like there is something critically wrong with me for having to seek help. The approach that I've noticed being used with my particular issues is very encouraging and not at all demeaning or condescending. I have appreciated how quickly she has responded to questions I've had, and especially how when I was panicking or feeling like I was having an anxiety attack, my issues were addressed very quickly and the level of professionalism that I've been treated with has helped with making this platform really worth the money I'm paying for the access to it. Gaynor has been effective in very tactfully opening my eyes to some of the things I viewed as issues or negatively impacting my life and helping me see these things from a different perspective, and this has sort of fast tracked certain things I previously figured I'd need to spend more time on resolving. I also appreciate the way that dealing with the issues I've have so far with her, where I assumed prior to starting to use this service that it was going to be a stressful and tense time, she has made the time spent working through those issues very positive and uplifting. All in all, I think Gaynor is very qualified and competent, and it is clear she enjoys helping people which just adds value to the whole experience and atmosphere surrounding the trek to better mental health.

S.L.·Jun 18, 2021

Overall

Gaynor is incredible. I’d been reluctant to try counselling for a long time and I’m so glad that I was matched with her when I finally decided to take the plunge. Gaynor’s overall approach is so friendly and kind, each session feels like you’re just having a chat, even when you’re covering some deep subjects. I’ve noticed a huge change in where I began and where I ended and I’m confident that going forward I’ll be able to take myself back to all of our conversations and apply everything we talked about. Gaynor, you’re an absolute superstar, thank you so much!
