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

Claudia is an incredible therapist and the best one I've had. After not doing so for years, I was initially hesitant to do the whole therapy thing, but we connected after my first session. I've always kept my walls up and found it hard to trust others, preventing me from working on my mental health and personal issues. Every day I know I have someone I can contact, and I'm enthusiastic about continuing this journey with Claudia as my therapist. Truly a blessing!
