About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

She listens to me that’s the best part. Understanding I need to just talk or vent.
Lolita listened to me. To feel heard and understood without judgement, and then given tools to help me make my own decisions was what I needed, and she delivered.
I appreciate how genuine Lolita is. I was nervous about starting this process but I’m grateful that I was paired with her. She has a calming spirit and provides an easy environment for you to open up.
