About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

I have been nervous to start therapy but have known I needed it for years now. Starting work with Patricia has been life changing. I was skeptical about how effective not working in person would be but Patrica’s warm personality and expertise comes through so easily. I look forward to our weekly sessions and am so glad I found her.

Wow where do I start. From the very first session, Patricia warm and kind spirit, freed me to share what I've been going through. She is a great listener and gives me feed back and suggestions. Our scheduled sessions are always to fit my schedule. And most importantly, I feel like I am being helped. I know, I won't get healed in five sessions. But at least the door is open and I am getting great tools. I actually hope I qualify to get more time. I really want to heal and learn to to to carry me a lifetime. I like working with her

Patricia has been a safe, calm and welcoming space to share sensitive information and the recent struggles I’ve been going through. I appreciate how intently she listens and how she responds with empathy and understanding. Her suggestions and guidance have been super helpful and already I’m seeing positive changes with putting plans into action. I’m thankful for her gentle nature and many years of experience!

Patricia has a warm soul. She listens intently and allows me to fully express my concerns. She’s almost too good

Patricia is wonderful. I really look forward to our conversations each week. She is so compassionate and understanding. She pays attention and really listens.

I recommend Patricia shes so sweet and listens to everything and gives me tools i can use to deal with what im going through

Patricia is a blessing!

Awesome therapist very supportive . Helped me change my life .

Patricia has always been a wonderful, kind, and understanding therapist. I appreciate that she listens to me whenever I feel the need to vent and provides advice when needed.

I’ve been receiving care with Patricia Nelson on a weekly basis since June 2023, and my first instinct is to mention that I believe she is sent by God! She has been instrumental in helping me through some exceptionally challenging times, and between her tender heart and Godly wisdom, I’ve grown and healed in many ways. God has used her to walk with me, stand beside me, and patiently nudge me to keep going when I’ve wanted to give in. She knows what to say, when to say it, and the experience and exercises she’s given me have opened my eyes and heart, giving me the courage and trust to try life again. Thank you God, thank you Patricia, and thank you Faithfulcounseling for contributing to my life. I thank God and Patricia for how much I have healed! May God be Glorified!

Patricia is thoughtful reflective and supportive. She's like your best friend that you've known forever!

Good listener, very kind.

Patricia has been very helpful, kind and understanding.

You are a wonderful therapist ✨

Patricia has been so lovely to work with! This is my first time using therapy of any kind and she has made it such a positive experience! She is kind, compassionate and supportive. I am thankful for her support during this season of my life and would recommend this platform to my friends and family!

Patricia was great at giving me support encouragement and beneficial insight on Ways for me to grow and improve in my life

I have now been meeting with Patricia for a month and a half and I would definitely recommend her as someone who has the ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease in opening up and helps you see things for what they really are. I didn't know what I was expecting in counseling at the beginning other than I knew I needed help in walking back through some dark times and dealing with thought patterns and behavioral patterns that I needed to understand and deal with. Just being able to talk with Patricia, who is trained to see and understand the connection between the puzzle pieces while I vocalize piece by piece my past while learning to live in the present has been such a help. Grateful for counseling and grateful for Patricia!

Great therapist, would definitely recommend!!

Patricia is kind, considerate and an expert in her field. But most of all, she has empathy for her clients.

Patricia has been a huge help to me in getting ahold of my anxiety and always replies quickly, she has so many helpful methods and for many types of people, shes been outstanding at helping me come to terms with many things and im glad to have had her as my therapist. I would highly reccomend her to anyone having issues with anxiety, fear related to relationships and major career stress. I feel i can enjoy my life again and she truly understood where i was coming from :)

Patricia is great! So glad to have found her.

I love Patricia shes a great therapist and a awesome person i recommend anyone to her if their looking for a therapist

Patricia helped me through a really tough time post the birth of my daughter and she helped me re-frame my mindset completely. I will be forever grateful for her help which has allowed me to enjoy being a mother.

She truly listens, understand, demonstrates sincere empathy, and is a genuinely supportive & helpful therapist.

She replies to my messages quickly all the time. And never once late for our video call sessions. She has been such a great help. I feel happier ever since I started seeing her. She’s a ray of sunshine and a very good therapist. I look forward to our sessions as it’s almost like talking to a friend more than a therapist. Love her!

Patricia is great, we have been working together for over two months and she has helped me get through a lot of challenges in my life. She’s made my transitions easier to deal with and she makes me feel very comfortable to talk about how I feel.

Patricia is always great at taking away the “big” points from what I say, even if I don’t recognize them right away. She always pushes me to work on myself while still celebrating the small victories. Within the first few minutes of our initial meeting I could tell she understood who I was and what I needed.

Very lovely and supportive. I enjoy our chats. She is always on time and helps me see things, recognize the issues and come up with a resolution.

Kind, insightful, and effective recommendations

Very kind. Seemed like I was talking with my best friend.

Patricia is incredibly well versed in her profession. She takes time to listen to my concerns, struggles, accomplishments and questions. She supports me by asking the right questions for me to know myself in a deeper way. Patricia gives me tools and exercises to use while I’m processing and growing. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a kind, nurturing, authentic therapist. She has helped me in more ways than I can write and I’m thankful for her service.

Thank you for being with me !

It's just been a few weeks but she is a gem. Enjoying all of our sessions and I think I am growing.

The best therapist I've had, great at communicating but the best part is you can tell she cares about the conversations

Patricia is very understanding and patient, she listens to me and works with me on my issues and concerns! Great therapist:)

She has given me some strategies that I can put in place right away. It has made such a difference in a short amount of time.

Patricia helped me to navigate a particularly painful situation with my emotionally abusive family. I was a mess before I found her and now I'm putting my life back together, feeling calmer and more hopeful than I have in years. Patricia is a great listener and has so much empathy. She celebrates my breakthroughs and gives me the tools to deal with my struggles. I'm so glad to have met her.

I love Patricia ❤️ and i recommend everyone to choose her as their therapist shes a very nice caring person and really cares about my feelings and my thoughts and shes easy to talk to

Great work, gives great insight and helps work through difficult times.

Love Patricia and she is very responsive and empathetic. The only critic I have is that she doesn’t call me out on stuff and challenge me. Tell me that im being stupid or something lol. I wont take it to heart. Otherwise very nice

She’s been super helpful even with my scheduling for work. I’m not the best at answering but she’s always reaching out to see how I’m doing. She’s helped me a lot with many struggling issues I have. She’s been a huge support for me

I love Patricia shes very understanding and tries to find different thinks to help me

Patricia has been incredibly helpful - she came to my aid when I most needed it and I have looked forward to our sessions where we can work through problems together. I like her solution based approach(techniques, mindset etc) but with deep understanding as well. Always compassionate and considerate, she takes the time to understand things from many different points of view and does not hesitate to gently offer advice. She always creates a calm atmosphere and makes you feel supported which is always important. Couldn’t recommend her enough

Patricia is understanding and helpfull. She is positive and nice. I like and enjoy our sessions.

Patricia has been really helpful and I plan to continue our sessions for another month.

I feel better after every session

Patricia is a great therapist, I highly recommend her

Very respectful, understanding, and knowledgeable!

Patricia's kind, understanding and positive approach to therapy and counselling has been of great value, and provided some much needed motivation throughout some difficult periods. She's been reliable, responsive and always supportive and enthusiastic in our sessions. Patricia helped keep focus on making progress, and most of all, appreciating any progress that was made, no matter how big or small. Invaluable. Highly recommended; especially if good and positive energy in the process is desirable.

She is so helpful, empathetic, and considerate, she even shares the same beliefs spiritually and is able to give me tools using that as well. I am so grateful to have been matched with her.

Wonderful! She is extremely thoughtful and provides a wide variety of techniques.

Patricia makes me feel comfortable and more confident talking about things that are important to me but that I've been struggling with to work on by myself. She's very understanding and caring and knows exactly how to make me feel better and hopeful for the future. I love our calls and the little chats and reminders in between.

It’s comforting to know that I have someone to listen to me without being judged and having someone who is supportive outside of friends. It’s nice that when I don’t message that she checks up on me even though sometimes I forget.
