He is very kind! I was a little nervous because I had initially felt more comfortable speaking to a female therapist, but the staff do not have many on hand. So he was my first match and his description met what I was looking for in therapy, so I gave it a shot. He has been the best therapist I have had this far in my 4 years of pursuing therapy and I have only had 3 sessions with him! I am so grateful Dr. Hughes. Thank you.

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.
