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

Caroline is one of the if not the best Mental health, counselor and therapist that I’ve ever had. That says a lot too, because I have been through a lot of therapist in my life, and I couldn’t be happier that I found her. She is well-versed in an array of different sectors of the mental health field as well as she is always relatable, empathetic, but most of all very realistic. Highly recommend Caroline! Highly!

10/10

Caroline genuinely has been my best experience with therapy ever. She’s puts things in perspective and is honest with you in a very meaningful way. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Caroline is a empathetic and caring therapist who I would highly recommend.

Attentive, patient, kind and knowledgeable. Couldn’t ask for a more caring or knowledgeable resource

Caroline is very professional and comfortable to talk to. Excellent.

Caroline is kind and empathetic. She listens well but is not afraid to tell you when a new thought process might be more advantageous or healthy. She keeps up with journals and asks the right questions. During sessions, she is engaged and helpful.

I had an exceptional experience with Caroline. Her expertise is evident, and she creates a compassionate environment, making me feel like I'm talking to a trusted friend. A skilled and empathetic listener, she truly excels in her profession. Highly recommended.

Caroline listens to you, reacts by offering support and help. This for me is working through difficult problems. I feel confident talking to her and sharing Her knowledge is extensive and a real help.

I have been working with Mrs.Brennan for a year now and I am so grateful for her help. There has been a huge difference from when I started to where I am now. Very pleased with her expertise, her listening, caring about what I am going through, and her knowledge on how to work on or through the things I came here with. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a solid therapist!

Caroline is incredible. Knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind, she will help you approach any subject with the thoughtfulness you’d wish for. She brings a true passion for helping people and joy for the process.

Caroline is awesome! She has helped me deal with anxiety, loss, grief, trauma, and some of my major challenges with change. She has helped me start the process of coming back to myself. She is understanding, respectful, she challenges me to think differently and to see things from another perspective. I really have enjoyed our sessions together.

Caroline Brennan is an amazing therapist. She has excellent professional expertise but also the life experience that makes her not just smart and expert, but also wise. In two short sessions she knew what to do and had sent me superb resources that pinpointed the problems fast. Our third session is tomorrow and for the first time in twenty years I feel hopeful that things can change for the better. She has given me a new way into solving these decades-long problems, and to break the unhealthy and unproductive patterns with my adult daughter. Really top-flight help. My highest respect and recommendation for Caroline Brennan.

I've only had a few sessions with her so far, but Caroline has been so helpful. She's an amazing listener and has given me several applicable tools to use to help me through my issues. I consider myself lucky to have been paired with her.

I come from a deeply entrenched and devoutly religious background, where the beliefs and practices have shaped the core of my being. In addition, I identify as a lesbian, which adds another layer of complexity to my personal journey and experiences. Struggling to reconcile these two seemingly conflicting aspects of my identity has often left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. However, amidst this internal turmoil, I have been incredibly fortunate to have found an exceptional therapist; Caroline who has been an unwavering source of support and understanding. Despite her own background and upbringing, she has undertaken the admirable task of delving into the intricate workings of my culture and religion in order to gain insights and a deeper understanding, solely to ensure that I feel heard, validated, and ultimately, better somehow. After just four transformative sessions, I became convinced that she would be my ultimate therapeutic ally. The depth of her compassion and unwavering support was unparalleled, guiding me towards ingenious strategies for navigating life's challenges.

Caroline is amazing, I feel very lucky to have found a great therapist so quickly. She’s extremely easy to talk to, listens well, asks good questions, identifies things I’m not recognizing, and offers me relevant reading material so that I can be productive between sessions. I was nervous to get on the phone with my previous therapist, but with Caroline I’m eager and optimistic. 100% recommendation from me!

Caroline is very forthright, gentle, honest, and compassionate. She isn't afraid to tell me if I'm just completely off the mark but does so in a way that encourages me to be better next time. She listens well and I'm always surprised about the tidbits she hears, even down to the word choice I use that gives her perspective into what's going on with me. I have a lot of mental health issues to deal with and she isn't afraid to pivot her approach if she thinks something is a higher priority than something else. Her approach is adaptive, which makes me feel like I can too adapt to this new me.

I have been working with Caroline for quite some time now and she is really helping me focus on what I want out of life. She doesn't dictate but rather guides. I feel that I got lucky with being assigned to her as my therapist.

She's awesome. Very quick to grasp the issue and offer perspective

Caroline is a wonderful therapist

Before Caroline, I was terrified of searching for a therapist. I was worried I’d have to switch around a few times and tell my story a few different times, but I matched with Caroline right off the bat and I couldn’t be happier and feel more heard than I have in a long time. I really look forward to my sessions every week with her.

Not only do I like my sessions with Caroline, I like myself more during and after too. She has a very subtle way dealing with me, I feel respected and cared about. Caroline has a very positive energy and I would definitely recommend reaching out to her if patience and stability is something you value.

She is wonderful

she’s respectful honest and extremely helpful

Caroline has been such a great help to me in recent months, she listens with real attention to details and has provided me with excellent resources and support to help me get through a rough period in my parenting journey and other family relationships.

I absolutely love working through things with Caroline. She's listens to my issues and will give me helpful worksheets to work on.

Caroline is an excellent therapist. She listens so carefully, helps you make connections about your behaviour and thoughts, and provides the most helpful advice and phrases on how to get better. I always left a session with the tools necessary to continue thriving and working on my issues. I also always left with a greater understanding about my self - which really aids in the healing process.

I just started my journey on the road to better living and acceptance of what I have and Ms. Brennan was amazing on walking me through this. She takes the time to listen to you and explained the goals clearly. I know I just started with this but I am excited to move forward, learn, and apply the tools Ms. Brennan is showing me to live a better life. She is very knowledgeable in her field and a caring person who wants us to succeed and live better. Thank you Ms. Brennan!

Caroline is the best! She really listens and gives me a lot of helpful feedback.

Have been with Caroline for 5 weeks now and she is a wonderful listener and communicates with empathy and understanding of my situation. I don’t feel judged and have been given so much useful information, tips and advice so far. I look forward to my weekly session with Caroline and would recommend her to anyone if you are after someone that makes u feel relaxed and has a calming energy.

She’s very personable and doesn’t make me feel pressured or weird when talking. Very understanding and offers lots of different tools and techniques to try to see what’s best for you.

I'll provide my feedback later.

Punctual. Thoughtful. Insightful. Let's me express my feelings, but at the same time responds with her insights in the a way that does not conflict with my own expression

She is so understanding and validing. She makes me feel safe to express myself and I enjoy working with her
