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.

Dr. Legner is amazing. She is understanding, supportive, cares, and at the same time isn't afraid to push a bit to help me realize things that are helpful to me long term. I can't say enough good things about her!! She's been an excellent guide , shoulder to lean on, and explains things in a clear, calm, compassionate way that is easy to understand. It didn't take her long to address my original concerns, and she's also helped me with an array of life challenges that have popped up after that. I truly cannot even imagine a better therapist.

Oct 27, 2022

Overall

I needed support primarily with anxiety management & other health/life areas. Dr. Legner has been a compassionate, caring & insightful guide in helping me learn about my experiences & finding different pathways through them for nearly a year. I've gained a lot of new information from Dr. Legner that I didn't know I needed about how the human mind, behaviour, and other aspects of being human works. We worked primarily with ACT & mindfulness including developing thought-awareness. Whenever I asked questions about medical or other health-related things I did not know about, she would explain and offered resources I could use as needed. I deeply appreciate her willingness to explain information so I could understand & her compassion in witnessing. Dr. Legner holds a kind, compassionate listening space & made me feel willing to step into new points of awareness without compromising safety & care at any point. I've received on many occasions, highly actionable, clear & evidence-based recommendations that I'm still putting into use. I highly recommend Dr. Legner.
