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

I was on there fence about therapy for a long time. I always wanted it, but it was scary thinking about talking about my most deepest darkest issues. Ricky was my first therapist, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have as my introduction to therapy. He never once was thrown, or judged in any way. He gave me the things I needed to hear, and tools to help me work through my issues. If you’re on the fence like I was, I highly recommend Ricky Lomax.
