She has been so helpful in my journey and I cannot express my gratitude to her. She is helping me understand concepts that are hard for me to grasp about myself as well as reads my journal so I do not feel so overwhelmed with telling her what I have been through in the week.

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.
