I'm only a couple sessions in, but I feel that I have received good input from Audrina so far. She has been great about providing me worksheets in follow-up and in preparation for our next session. She allows me time to talk without interruption and offers valuable tools relevant to assist me in dealing with the issues I am having. I look forward to continuing our work together. I was a little hesitant about starting therapy, let alone online, however it is proving to be a positive experience.

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.
