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

Arnold is thoughtful and in tune with a number of methods to be able to identify problems and solutions. He listens and understands well, has thoughtful questions for reflections, and uses easy to understand resources to contribute to care and treatment. He communicates well his schedule, and communicates early for any rescheduling needs. I highly recommend Arnold, and am happy with the results of working with him over the course of many sessions.
