About online counseling

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.

Instant connection! I’ve never felt so safe to tell all my fears and issues to.
BJ is awesome , very down to earth and I look forward to more sessions
BJ is great. She listens to whatever you need to talk about each session. She is very friendly , understanding, and helpful when she gives suggestions or ways to deal with the issues you are experiencing.
She matched my preferences for my therapy journey and what I felt I needed to a “T”. So far so good.
Talking to BJ is like talking to a close friend. She offers a different perspective on what I share with her which gives me new ways to view the issues I face. I always leave a session either feeling accomplished or she gives me tools to dive deeper into my life to bring about understanding. If you want someone who’s authentic, of faith, listens and give sound feedback, then I would suggest giving her a try.
BJ was super helpful to me in a season of intense overwhelm. She was kind and honest, giving me truths and tools and new perspectives on old problems. I appreciated how casual our sessions were, yet I felt comfortable that I was in the good hands of a professional. 10/10. Thanks, BJ!
