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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.

Excellent therapist

James is a great Therapist who listens and gives solid actionable advise on how to go about dealing with things you struggle with. Conversations with him always feel very easy going and comfortable.

James is truly fantastic. He enables me to think holistically about my problems and helps me navigate many many situations with tangible real life solutions. He never directly prescribes solutions but naturally nudges you towards multiple options. He is one of a kind and I would highly recommend him!!!

One of the best I've spoken to. Really gets what I'm saying and has great tools to.

I'm so taken aback and truly grateful for my time with James. From the very first session it was like he already knew me and was helpful from the get-go. I made more progress with him than with all over my other therapy combined and I can't thank him enough.

James is an excellent source of encouragement and gives me practical ways to cope and to see my situation from a comforting perspective.
