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.

She’s so helpful and knowledgeable

I feel confident that I'll be helped. She listens well & empathize with my issues. Her extra websites & book suggestions are great too.

Laura has been wonderful support. Her suggestions and knowledge is very relatable to life and hurdles we may come across. Her approach is easy to understand and steps that’s are very doable. I appreciate the ease it has been talking to her.

Ms. Bollin was very engaged and listened carefully to my issues, asking pertinent questions respectfully and in a timely manner, i.e. not interrupting but very naturally. She was able to give me feedback on ways to approach the situation that I had not considered, an invaluable new perspective on the issues that I face.

Her compassionate and professional approach created a safe space for self-reflection and growth. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective counseling and a supportive environment.

She has been very helpful. Most of what I've needed was a sounding board and a litmus. She has provided honesty and compassion with both.

Laura is awesome! Very grateful to have experienced her wonderful gifts of counsel ing. I will be discontinuing the services for now until a further date. Such a wonderful experience of healing ! Thank you Faithful Counseling

I was somewhat skeptical about counseling through an app, but the experience has been nothing but positive.!

Laura is amazing she has helped through some really bad days. I would not have made it through this episode without her

Very reflective listen. Very responsive.

Dr Laura is amazing; she is insightful, kind, mindful and patient with how she comes to add perspectives to our sessions and always seems to say something that ends up being my take away. The mark of a great therapist is that ability to add when you thought there was nothing more to add! She has really helped me find a place to put the struggles and trauma in my life, so this struggles have a place to set, so I don’t carry them with me in the present!!!

Laura has been very soothing for my soul. She listens and I appreciate that. Thank you so much

Laura is a skilled listener. She has given me the space and time I needed to verbally process my feelings and ideas and has shared her own ideas about how I may be able to move forward into a more sustainable place with my emotions. I have made a total 180 degree turn for the better on my course in life right now because of what I have been able to share with Laura, and her valuable feedback, compassion and wisdom.

Laura is great! Kind, supportive, knowledgeable and punctual. She’s helping me lots

Laura is an excellent listener. Her professional experience helped us connect on a deeper level. With her gentle guidance I was able to navigate my situation with grace.

For the first time in my life I found a therapist that I could connect with from the start. Laura will leave you feeling hopeful and encouraged. Its therapist experiences like the one I'm experiencing should be an inspiration and invitation to choose happiness and healing .

Laura was a wonderful support in a terrifying time for me. She is a good listener and her caring heart is a warm motherly embrace to struggles and challenges. I would recommend her if you need a nurturing supportive sounding board.

Laura listens when I need to talk. She asks questions to make sure she understands the situation without feeling intrusive. Over all she is very easy to talk with.

Laura was a great listener. It was really easy to talk to her and while I only worked with her for a short time, she helped me talk through a transition point in my life and I was happy to have her support.

Laura was great when helping me navigate a sticky situation involving a romantic relationship. She was thoughtful, carefully listened to my concerns, and offered excellent advice! She gave me the affirmation I needed to confidently navigate my relationship.

I’ve had two sessions with Laura so far. I’m so grateful to have been matched with her. She’s kind, empathetic and sincere. I have felt in both sessions that she cares and that she wants me to feel supported. I highly recommend this therapist.

Laura is great, technical, and very understanding.

Thoughtful, good listener, supportive and willing to tell the truth in order to see me get beyond hurdles.

It was wonderful meeting Laura. She is very kind and easy to talk with. However, I need someone with a more neutral point of view, to help me navigate. I need someone who can give me a non biased point of view. I won’t be going back to Laura as I did not feel she was neutral. Although she was very kind.

Laura has given me a new outlook on therapy. I have been dismissed by other therapists in the past but I feel like Laura truly hears me and wants to help me better myself.

Laura has helped me express my feelings, accept responsibility for my behavior, reduce shame and anxiety, helped me celebrate happy times, persevere through hard times, and navigate the repair of damaged relationships. She always seems to know the right question to ask in order to help me see something I missed. Her language reflects understanding of important aspects of my identity. She effortlessly acknowledged and respected a rather unique aspect to my identity that I'm used to others finding confusing or challenging.

Laura bollin is amazing therapist she helped guide me through the most difficult time of my life when I felt hopeless and felt defeated because of her & her therapy I can confidently say I have gained my smile back

Lauren was my first ever therapist and I am lucky to have had her although it was for a short amount of time. She heard me out and really was there for me. Thank you so much, Lauren!

Laura is wonderful! I am not comfortable with therapy due to past experiences but Laura is different. She listens, she responds and provides tools and feedback. I look forward to my time with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for some support.

Laura was very kind and supportive. I was very comfortable talking with her.

Laura has this calm and understanding demeanor that made me feel seen and heard. She asked questions that helped me think of how I could better take control of my life, my decisions and how I approach certain situations. I definitely recommend her and am thankful for her help.

I really appreciate every session with Laura. I feel like she listens well and offers helpful ideas that I didn't even consider. I look forward to continuing!

Laura Bollin is extremely easy to talk to, and has offered various ways to help me. She’s always able to offer suggestions and help me talk thru things at my own pace.

I love how she just listens, sympathizes and offers support with suggestions that are realistic and attainable within each situation.

Laura Bollin really cares about what I have to say - she never gives me a cookie cutter response and always offers me support. She has helped change my perspective on my life, but never pushes me to get there. Instead, she helps me create a game plan to tackle various problems I have, and by the end I arrive to a new conclusion and healthier perspective. Added bonus? She is funny, and we always seem to share a laugh at some point in the session.

Laura Bollin took time to listen to my story and struggles without interruption, she gave me reassurance and been keeping up with sending me information and worksheets that help me with my daily life as i move forward. I do appreciate her , i would recommend her.God Bless.
