I will admit, I was very nervous to start sessions as I felt intimidated by his photo, but Oscar has been great! So glad I didn't chicken out! He's extremely understanding, and provides the judgement-free zone that is needed. He has various great techniques for anxiety, and awesome guidance assisting with life choices/decisions, and helping look toward the future. He's very personable and made me feel like I was alone with my problems. It felt like I was talking with a friend... not like regular therapy.

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.
