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.

I’m still new to the service, but so far, Paul has been great. I look forward to continuing our sessions.

Mr. Clark has helped me so much as I try to heal from a traumatic experience. He's been understanding, supportive and he listens. He's a good therapist.

I truly appreciate Paul's candor and ability in letting me sort out solutions for any challenge I present to him.

Incredibly knowledgeable and competent in his field of expertise, with a wealth of experience and references for his methodology. Paul is empathetic, a great listener and knows how to shift perspectives and redirect mentalities, backed by experts in his field, like HE IS - BUY HIS BOOK! I'm privileged to work with him.

I've had great rapport with Paul. I feel an understanding between us that reminds me of the benefit of talking out the good and tough parts of life with someone.

A solution focused therapist like Paul Clark is exactly what I needed! He is kind, patient, and asks the right questions to make me be accountable for my own success through this process. I've learned so much from him already and I feel comfortable sharing my personal struggles and truths with him daily and weekly.

I look forward to discussion with Paul.

Mr.Clark is a very good therapist, he listens very carefully to your concerns about your life and advises how to actively address the situation. Definitely talking with Mr. Clark re-enforced my self esteem and confidence to know I must never lost hope and keep loving myself.

Mr. Clark, as I like to call him, will always listen but will still say the things I need to hear. He helps me see things from different points of view. It is always nice to know I can message him about anything.

Paul is a helpful, reasonable, lovely, fun and to-the-point therapist

Paul Clark has helped me take a step back and evaluate what I can control and be more open with my family.

I'm looking forward to talking to Paul Again

Paul’s ability to really listen and focus on our conversations make me feel relaxed and more open to discuss things. He is very helpful in giving worksheets that pertain to me and gives guidance on how these can help.

Mr. Clark is genuine. He is relatable and does an excellent job at breaking things down.

Paul Clark really captures and understands his patients I am tremendously blessed to have him.

Great listener. Gave detailed pointers. Also shared documents for healthier and better living which was very useful

Paul has an open, honest, and non-judgmental style of communicating that made me feel comfortable to share my vulnerabilities early on. I felt like he was “on my side” but also able to call me on what might be a false assumption. I definitely benefited from speaking with Paul.

Mr. Clark is an awesome therapist and I like the fact that he assigns homework and follows up on feedback.

I appreciate Paul's patience and insight as well as his availability.

Paul was very helpful. He listened well and provided great advice. I do not normally share my personal challenges but he created a positive and comfortable space that encouraged me to share.

Amazing therapist! Literally pin pointed what I needed to work on to help the issues I had to deal with. He helped me find the right methods so I can start my healing journey. With everything I expressed, he read between the lines and helped me find my standing ground. Exceptional work and knows exactly what he is doing. Loved working with him and I highly recommend him.

Very understanding and gives good tips and advice on what to do and how to go about it

Paul is awesome and had a wonderful ability to relate. He also hears out my problems and asks great questions that provoke thought and help me get into the root of what is going on. I love working with Paul and look forward to our sessions.

This is my first time in therapy and he makes it very easy and comfortable

Paul has been excellent qt listening and understanding
