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.

She's truly amazing!

Dr. Brown is the therapist I needed during a period of hopelessness and burnout. She is insightful, action and solution oriented and has a great sense of humor. I always feel listened and understood during our sessions.

She's great. I feel seen and very heard with her.

Great life coach listens executes and reframes your life plan to help motivate and improve your life!!!

I’ve had a couple of therapist and sometimes I struggled with connecting and fostering a relationship where there is no judgement and full ability to have conversations, but with Dr. Brown, it has been so much better. She is kind and gentle but also stops and offers advice and Insights and creates a space where you feel supported and understood. She also provides a lot of links and work that you can continue to work on after the session. I have absolutely loved and looked forward to our sessions every week! I highly recommend!

Dr. Brown is truly an expert in her field and immediately supports her claims with research based evidence. Her goal is to educate her clients so they can make informed decisions, and celebrate their successes and their progress along the way. Thank you Dr. Brown for helping me learn about addiction, anxiety, self care, acceptance, and managing my relationship to the best of my ability.
