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

The entire process has been helpful and very positive in every way. It has helped me overcome my depression and taught me some new coping mechanisms by the discussions I have had with Cindy.

Cindy is amazing and I feel genuinely lucky to have matched with her. She is by far the best therapist I’ve had so far. She’s incredibly compassionate, understanding, thorough, and super insightful. She’s excellent at responding promptly and is always available for me, and I feel so much better knowing I have someone by my side who is there for me and really listens. So grateful for Cindy

Cindy is wonderful. She clearly understand what I try to describe to her even if I feel like I’m not doing a great job. She asks insightful questions and makes me see things in new perspectives. I always feel heard, respected, and very comfortable with her - this has been since day one. Cannot recommend her more!

I love Cindy. She listens and provides the best support.

Cindy is a great listener, and meets you where you are. I also enjoy that she doesn’t force clients to relive their trauma and explain every detail and how it made you feel, but if it comes up organically we explore it and if not we don’t. She stays up to date with clients and sends messages throughout the week her expertise and care shows through in her actions and she truly listens. She focuses on the now instead of focusing on problems in the past.

Cindy has been a life saver. She is a great listener and has helped me grow as a parent and a person.

Cindy puts a lot of thought in to her care and how she approaches her patients

Cindy is a wonderful person and experienced therapist

Since the first session with Cindy I have felt welcome. She has made it easy to connect and open up to especially for a first timer with therapy! My life has changed in many positive ways since starting with her. When I need to talk about something she always makes me feel comfortable and when I have no idea what to say she is on top with keeping us in line with a work book we are doing together that has provided me with information I would not have come across without her help. Sessions with Cindy always end in a smile, like talking to a knowledgeable friend. I highly recommend!

Cindy is pleasant, patient and helpful. She gives good feedback and shares insights that help^.

I never thought phone thrapy would be so helpful to me, even though we are in different continents, I felt Cindy is a good thrapist with experience, and a heart.

Cindy is fantastic. She is level headed and understanding. I went into therapy concerned that I would need to spend way too long i introducing myself and giving background information, however in our first session I knew she understood me and she asked meaningful questions. She is a lovey person doing what she was meant to do!

Cindy is a great listener and provider of tools to cope with any issue

Cindy is incredibly insightful and has a way of helping face the worst things feeling supported and never judged.

Absolutely wonderful, insightful and kind.

I am very pleased with Cindy. I seem to get up for her probably she supports me but also gives me sound advice about making changes where indicated. She is very kind and helpful..

She has proven to be skilled, knowledgeable and thoughtful in providing context during troubling times with chaotic relationships, which has aided me to maintain a reasonable thought process.

Cindy always listen to me even if I am rambling. She guides me in the right direction and helps me with tools that help get me through the day. She has been an excellent support.

Great and extremely helpful

Cindy was very compassionate and a great listener. She helped very much and would strongly recommend her.

Cindy is great at understanding where I'm coming from, and helps provide tools to help me get to where I need to be. I'm happy that she's my therapist.

I have had two sessions with Cindy but I've loved them so much. She makes me feel comfortable. And she listens to me very well.

Been with Cindy for almost 4 months now and it’s been an amazing experience, absolutely life changing. Her guidance and support is on point. She listens and understands the underling issue, giving helpful advice for long term results. She saw what nobody ever saw on me and was able to help me tackle my problems and differences. Really happy! Would defined recommend her to anybody!

Thank you for being you! I really appreciate you!

Cindy was a huge help to me -- I was in a place where i fely100% lost and over 2 months she has given me tools to help me find a center and slow my brain down - She was a great help in a very hard time and I am very thankful to have been able to work with her. Highly recommended!!

Cindy has helped me greatly with my problems within each session. She is very kind and always listens when I need her.

Patient, allows space, knows how to calm!

I am incredibly grateful for Cindy's presence in my life. She is truly gifted, generous, and wise. She is also practical, and very good at helping her patients to drive positive change in their lives.

Great knowledge and understanding of my situation. Gave me so many resources and info to tackle anxiety which balances my thoughts.

Cindy is the first therapist I’ve seen who understands me. At age 67 I’ve seen many who couldn’t help me, and I’d about given up hope of finding myself. She is a kind, honest and truly caring person.

Very attentive listener and you can hear deep empathy in her responses. She is well structured and has deep knowledge and understanding on the subjects we discuss. I am very happy with her!

Cindy has been very understanding and helpful. I feel Cindy works hard to maintain contact and provide a safe environment.

Cindy is so easy to talk to, she asks thought provoking questions and provides excellent feedback. I feel very comfortable around her and am looking forward to my journey in therapy!

Cindy is very respectful of your personal circumstances and is willing to receive feedback of where you want to focus your therapy session on. She is also good at sharing techniques or strategies to deal with coping and mindfulness.

Cindy is amazing. She is empathetic and understanding of everything. Very responsive and highly in tune with her profession.

Cindy is positive, professional, relatable. I’m thankful for the expertise and life experience that truly makes it better help.
