John Smith immediately felt like I've known him for a long time. This was kind of scary going into the 1st session and he was kind and comforting. I am going through postpartum anxiety. He's been teaching me perspective and how to calm myself down. He's very sympathetic to the bad things that I've gone through. Overall, a great guy!!!

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.
