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.

Overall

Dr. Luthra has offered me so much guidance in managing the stressors in my life. She has taken the time to make sure she really understands my perspective, and the advice she provides is clearly given with my specific circumstances and experience in mind. I gained so much reassurance but also accountability and a fresh perspective on how to stay proactive with my mental health.

Overall

I’ve only had 3 sessions so far with Dr. Luthra but we clicked from the first session. I’ve been through many therapists and what I look for most is someone willing to give advice or feedback on what I can do to help myself. Not just listen. She listens and is extremely helpful with her advice and recommendations. So far so good. I actually look forward to our sessions. It’s definitely a 2-way conversation as it should be. I’m super happy with Dr. Luthra.

Overall

Even thou I have only had one session, I have never felt as if anyone would be able to help me in my life more than Dr. Gagan Luthra. So far Dr. Luthra has given me some very helpful tools and some insurance that I can get through this with the help of her and that we have a game plan in mind! Based off her credentials and the time I have spent talking to her, I feel she is the best therapist I have ever been with in my life! 5/5 review!!

Dr. Luthra helped me understand the issues I was dealing with and how to deal with my family's relationship after losing a loved one. She is a great listener and provides sound advice and professional insight. I feel much better after two weeks of therapy with her. I felt very comfortable speaking with her.

I had a profoundly insightful session with Dr. Luthra. I am in my 30s and this was my first ever therapy session. She was attentive, precise, professional, and has a great cultural understanding.

K.R.·May 19, 2022

Overall

I have been working with Dr. Luthra for a few weeks now. Mainly focusing on relationship issues. From our sessions, I’ve learned so much about myself. I have learned that I need to start setting boundaries with people and work which I didn’t even think was affecting me, and based off all of Dr. Luthra’s recommendations as long as you put the work in you will see a change in yourself and the people around you. I was very closed off and didn’t want to be open with a People closest to me. Dr. Lutheran made me realize that communication is key in any relationship. She gave me a small exercises to work on with my husband that has been really beneficial to our relationship. Not only has Dr. Luthra Been very supportive, she’s very easy to talk to. She’s very open minded and I never felt judged speaking about things I never thought I was speak about out loud. BetterHelp app is very supportive as well. The journal injuries make me think about things that I would’ve never of thought about, and the group therapy sessions are amazing. I will be continuing my journey with Dr. Luthra to continue to work on my relationships, aspirations, self image, and more! Believe me I know it’s hard to take the first steps to get help. But, I am so happy that I did. It has honestly been life changing. Thank you!

I have been in and out of therapy for 4 years, never finding a therapist who truly helped me dig deep to find the root of issues that triggered me. I struggle with anxiety and Dr. Luthra’s extensive knowledge is amazin. She has been helping me so much and helps me see things from a logical yet warm and scientific viewpoint. She really knows the ins and outs of how our minds work. If you’re hesitant to starting therapy, I hope you come across this review and give Dr. Luthra a chance to help you. She is wonderful!
