Diane listens closely and finds the one word that she hears when you tell her your feelings. The word that you may not even relize you're seeking or if you do she talks you through the situation on how to mentally accept it or work through it. She's non-judgemental, easy to talk to and has a way to know when to let things go or to pry deeper to get you to let out the pain you've been shoving down so you can confront it and hopefully start to heal better.

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.
