Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

My therapist has been instrumental in helping me manage my severe anxiety. Their compassionate approach and deep understanding of anxiety disorders have made a significant difference. Through their guidance, I've learned effective coping strategies and feel more empowered to handle my anxiety. I'm grateful for their support and professionalism in my journey towards better mental health.
Dr. Bryan is great. He has helped going through some rough times and I really feel he understands me and knows how to make me feel better and focus on the important stuff. We are still working together and I am glad I have his support.

Dr. Bryan is the best and has helped me navigate through some of the toughest times in my life with so much care and support. He’s such an amazing therapist!
Dr. Bryan has a real gift. He balances telling the truths and observations I need to hear with empathy that ensures I actually hear them. There’s no judgment or dismissiveness or attempt to control in our sessions. Just a genuine expression of wanting what is best and communicating it in an open and understandable way. He has years of experience and it shows. I always look forward to our sessions.
I've just finished my second month with Dr. Bryan. He's a heck of a guy and very easy to talk to. He listens patiently, gives you your space, and repeats back to you what you've said so you know you're on the same page. He has empowered me in so many ways and I can't recommend him enough.
Dr. Bryan is the best therapist I have ever had! So grateful for him.
I have been working with Dr. Bryan on and off for about a year now. He is incredible! I began this journey with a low sense of self and was lost in my values. Dr. Bryan has helped me regain my self-worth and has taught me tools to correct my negative thinking patterns. I have seen such an improvement in myself and in my relationships from his support and guidance. I can not recommend him enough! I came to therapy for healing and growth, which is exactly what I have found through working with Dr. Bryan.
Dr. Bryan is really great at responding to my messages. He reaches out in the most appropriate ways to my shared journal entries. I feel so blessed to have some as caring and supportive as Dr. Bryan.
Dr. Bryan has a warm and cheerful tone. He is easy to talk to and cares about people. I appreciate the way he shows compassion alongside a realistic attitude.
I had never tried any type of therapy and was coming out of a pretty rough time in my life so I tried this not really knowing what to expect. Dr. Bryan exceeded every expectation and was a tremendous help in getting me to a better place. He helped me realize a lot of things about myself and what needs to be done to improve my life. Highly recommended.
He has really helped me get through this summer. Without him, I would definitely be more anxious. No one can be fully different or change when going through therapy, but he has helped me see things in a different perspective.
Nothing but great stuff to say. I was going down a bad hole and he helped me dig myself back out. Thank you Mike!
I almost immediately connected with Dr. Bryan on great friendly level. He listens and accesses his concerns with what I’m expressing and will ask thorough questions that start to help me understand what I’m trying to work through.
