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.

Lesley helped me to learn more about myself than I expected. She taught me how to be more patient and kind to myself and think about how to manage my more negative or angry thoughts. She is an excellent listener and gives practical advice. Thank you.

Overall

Lesley is a wonderful therapist. I met with her for 3 weeks to help me get through a very stressful period in my life. Lesley was easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. She provided me with information/worksheets to read between our sessions which I found very useful. I looked forward to our meetings every week and would recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist.
