I adore Nicole. I had a bad first experience with another therapist and Nicole made me glad I didn't give up. She helps me see things about myself I didn't even think about until my brain catches it in our conversations. She also helps me see other perspectives on things I'm working on. I feel like I'm growing with her. I love that I get worksheets and we make steps on things I can do to improve myself. I suffer from social anxiety and she gave me some simple ideas so that I don't feel so overwhelmed in taking steps to work on being social. I can't wait for more sessions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Nicole Potter is a great therapist that really listens and helps me through my problems. 10 out of 10!
My therapist is very good at listening and making me feel heard and understood. She also validated my feelings.
Good listener
I have had just two sessions with Nicole so far and she has proven herself to be very supportive and offers great advice. She encourages, validates, and gives insight that helps me clearly process and identify a path forward through my challenges. Nicole is a great listener and I always feel uplifted and encouraged after our sessions! She is easy to talk to and I felt comfortable opening up right at the start.
Nicole is a great therapist. She is kind and always makes me feel heard in our sessions. She responds in a timely manner to any messages or journal entries that I share. She creates a safe environment to share and talk about anything on my mind.
Nicole is very easy to talk to and a good listener. She focuses on the right things and is helping me work through a negative situation with a family member. She’s knowledgable and always on time. She also suggests books, podcasts and worksheets to also help me work through this difficult time.
Nicole was very understanding and empathetic. She managed to help me work through trauma while making me laugh and see the positive side of things. I felt validated and seen. Thank you Nicole!
Very easy to talk to and jump right in with. Helps me during the 45 minute session as well as after with other resources she sends.
