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.

Steve is great

Stephen is great!

Really and truly thankful for this program and platform to connect Stephen and I. I feel a lot of commonalities between him and I, and you all did a great job matching us. He is gentle, receptive, patient and respectful. He has taught me a lot, just by offering advice or another perspective, or offering scripture from the Bible, and using analogy. He is definitely wonderful, if you’re looking for a holistic and spiritual guide, he is fabulous. He has offered me books I am slowly working through, and helps me be mindful of certain things in my day to day life. Thanks for everything Stephen! Can’t wait to speak to you in the morning!

Stephen is very helpful. He provides biblical counseling. He really listens and cares about his clients.

Since having my sessions with Stephen. My life has been exponentially better. Him teaching me different ways to cope with my anxiety has been great. Honestly just talking things has really helped. And showed me that what I’m experiencing is normal and I’m not alone.

Stephen is very wise! He gives clinical perspective and spiritual. He helps me to clear up the mental fog and identify thinking patterns that maybe holding me back. Since talking with Steve I’ve felt extremely clear!

He is very caring, personable and treats me like a person not just a client.

So wonderful and helpful with every issue that comes up.

Excellent therapist and platform

I really enjoy my sessions with Stephen. He is a great listener and is attentive to what I’m sharing. It is great to have a therapist that is a believer and can give biblical wisdom. He has been my first therapist ever that I felt comfortable with. I recommend Stephen as a therapist.

Fantastic to my life. Glad to have him in my life.

Stephan is a blessing. He radiates with love, kindness, and understanding in a calm and relaxed attitude. He is very knowledgeable about Christ. I highly recommend.

Steve has provided me with some helpful tools. I especially appreciate his ability and willingness to incorporate scripture into our conversations.

Stephen is very patient and understanding and validates my experience.

Steven is very nice and understands what I’m going through and is helping me greatly

Stephen is a great listener and very experienced. He meets you where you are and provides great thought-provoking advice in a very relaxed and non-pushy way. I highly recommend Stephen as a therapist to anyone in need. He helps improve your communication skills and gets right to the root of your problems.

He's very attentive and patient when he is listening to what you are discussing. He is very professional as well as being able to be empathetic. A great therapist and one I hope others would see on a regular basis as I try to.

Whilst I'm just getting started working with Stephen, I have found him very easy to speak to and he is very thorough and thoughtful in his responses. I feel very comfortable with him and we are already making advances in the things I was hoping to.

There is something about Stephen that allows you to just open up. He’s a therapist that you know is listening to you, and is providing helpful feedback. I believe I itch my whole heart that Stephen has been a Godsend to my life in this season of my life.

Steve is the best! He helped me identify and provided me tools to deal with family issues and complexities. He was friendly, warm, reassuring, and honest. This was my first experience with therapy and I could not be happier with Steve. Genuinely sad to be ending our conversations together, but excited to go take on life with the tools Steve provided. If you get put with Steve, just know you are in good hands!

Stephen has gotten me through some tough times after my relationship ended. He's given me great advice and ways to improve myself. He always challenges me to be a better person.

He has been so knowledgeable

Stephen really pays attention to the things that you say and listens for the key words that might have been said. Strongly recommend!

Stephen has helped me with anger and frustration. I've learned how to communicate better with his help. I've also become better at thinking things through and respond to situations instead of reacting negatively.

Stephen is the first therapist that made me feel heard and showed genuine compassion. I am extremely satisfied with every therapy session I have with him.

I think I happened to get really lucky with Stephen as this was my first time ever considering therapy. I was quite skeptical before about therapy, but Stephen was very good from the beginning. He is very good at interacting with people, warm friendly, and gives some great advice. I like him a lot, and although we didn't see eye to eye with everything, thats to be expected; he nonetheless was very helpful

I trust Stephen’s guidance with the problems that I raise and I feel like he has given me many tools to deal with my life and my old ways of dealing with my challenges.

Stephen continues to surprise me in many ways. His insight, kindness, and thoughtfulness have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life.

Very understanding and has been a great help

Stephen is a very empathetic listener and incorporates faith and real world advice Into our sessions. Would recommend to anyone

Terrible... first time in therapy and I suffer greatly from anxiety and his advice was "breathe and imagine a happy place". If I could imagine a happy place, I wouldn't be depressed. When I let him know I wasn't able to "find my happy place", he blamed me... which is exactly what I need. Terrible experience that has turned me off from therapy forever.

He genuinely cares about helping me and always willing to listen no matter what

Great therapist. Strongly recommended!

He really is sweet,caring, and listens to what I’m going through. He has great knowledge and expertise, it also helps that he has a faith-based experience/background to help tie in my problems and addressing it in a spiritual aspect. He also encourages me to be confident in myself and the decisions I make.

Very knowledgeable and precise with his therapy. Very instructional. He asks the right questions and has been great in guiding me along my issues instead of just listening to them

Helpful and compasionate

Stephen has been a big encouragement to me in this new journey of grief I find myself in. He is patient, kind, attentive, and very clearly cares about the well-being of those he supports first and foremost. Even when I brought up concerns at the beginning about how I wasn’t sure he was the right fit for me, he prioritized my interests and ahead of just retaining me and has been so very kind and understanding in each step of my moving forward.

Stephen is very warm and knowledgeable. His rich working experience and expertises quickly gain me insights on solving my anxiety, knowing myself &understanding the relationship better and helping others. He doesn’t only teach me methods of solving anxiety, but also a healthy attitude to life. The principles he taught me works in all cultural background. I look forward to learn more from him!
