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

Dr Smyth is an amazing therapist. She helps me make wise decisions. She is very prompt with her replies and really seems to care for her clients wellbeing. She also seems like a good person who wants to help people with passion. She sees counselling as her passion rather than her job. I would highly recommend her. She is very compassionate and at the same time she gives you the right directions to follow with your situation.

Dr. Smyth has helped me tremendously in so many ways. I have never felt so hopeful, positive and at peace with how I am able to navigate situations in my life and work through things that have affected me in the past. She has brought great insight to coping strategies that work with my life as well as insight on the relationship I have with God, how he lives in me, and how he sees me. This has been life changing and I am so grateful.

I went into therapy with a lot of trauma and hurt from people and circumstances in life and despite trying everything I could, I didn’t know what to do anymore to get better. From the first conversation with my therapist, I have been greatly blessed by her counsel and kind approach, it has been an immense comfort to me as she prays and guides me with Godly counsel and encouragement, helping me process my past traumas and giving advice on how to deal with ongoing situations and concerns for the future. I’ve been greatly blessed by her prompt replies, being on time for our video sessions and I am already doing much better from our conversations.

Dr. Smyth has been a great blessing to me in my healing and living every day life. She is compassionate, innovative, responsive, brilliant, and considerate. She listens to what I say, and where I am, then helps me - to connect to God, to love others, and to love myself too. She has created a safe place for me to share all sorts of my life experiences and my related thoughts and feelings. Most of all, Dr. Smyth helps me to better follow God's path for me - to see His guidance, experience His blessings and feel His Presence in every part of my life.
