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.

Even before our first session, Lynn shared lots of resources with me and checked in with me often. Even though it was hard to work through my issues during the first session, she offered gentle guidance and a safe space for me to explore my emotions and provided active listening. I felt connected to her and that brought me comfort. I'm so grateful to have been matched with Lynn and would highly recommend her!
