I've only worked with Carolyn for a few weeks, but in that short period of time she has shown to be an empathic listener, a supportive therapist and has assisted me with organizing and compartmentalizing some complex work issues.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Great Therapist! Carolyn, has been amazing! I actually look forward to our phone appointments!!!
Carolyn is an empathetic and caring therapist who offers good advice and suggestions.
Carolyn had a supportive and calming presence, asking questions, sharing worksheets and suggesting tactics to give myself time to reflect and process some health changes.
Carolyn is excellent. Her approach guides me to consider, and thereby, discover various aspects of my life and needs. She guides me to greater sense of self-discovery, which allows me to function better in life. I greatly appreciate Carolyn and her approach to therapy.

I like Carolyn although We've only spoken twice.
Carolyn is understanding and caring. She pays attention to not just what you’re saying but how you say it. I've never been to therapy before, and Carolyn has created a safe and welcoming environment for me to share.
Carolyn has been a source of help and compassion. Going through some family issues and she has offered a kind and helpful sounding board. She has followed up with worksheets and other options for therapy. I like the ease she put me under. I feel supported and heard.
