About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

2nd time is a charm for me. I switched therapists once and found Dr. Florence. In just a couple sessions he has given me good tools to cope

Dr. Florence is a great therapist! He knows how to effectively communicate and is there when I need him.

Reviewed March 2023

Dr. Florence helped me process so many emotions in just my first session, I can’t begin to explain how great he is. He is so open, warm & welcoming - but also “tough love” enough to get his point across. I highly recommend him!

Super easy to talk to and he makes sure to take notes so he can keep up with you personally!

Reviewed December 2022

Dr. Florence has done well calming me down and understanding my situation. He did suggest to me a couple of ways to go about my circumstances. He's pretty cool and good at transitioning from small talk to getting right to the point. He doesn't interrupt when I'm blabbering about nonsense and me knowing that I'm wasting my time bringing up past experiences. He listens and it's okay to look back at my past. He does well in helping me to look forward. Overall, He's been great.
