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

Best therapist out there. He really makes me feel comfortable and understands me better then anyone that I know.

I have only had 2 sessions so far with Dr. Spelgatti. Within those sessions I have felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders being able to connect and express with him what is going on in my life. The fact that I can feel good again after my sessions with him says it all. He attributes to great peace of mind and he truly does care about helping me out!

Honestly he has been great, diving into helping me understand more about myself than I ever realized. I'm very appreciative of the time we have together to talk through tough moments in my life and great ones too. Thank you again.

He obviously cares a lot about his clients and wants to help them to be the best people they can be. He isn't afraid to point out when you are doing something harmful to yourself, but is able to do it in the kindest of ways. He is a Christian and does amazing at bringing that perspective into sessions and reminding others of what God wants for them.

Dr. Sean is not only a great therapist but he also have a lot of experience in many different environments, including different levels of education. He also has spoken to a variety of people with different experiences, so he’ll definitely know how to handle yours. I encourage anyone to talk to him because he is a great guy and can connect with you easily.

Dr. Spelgatti listens to me and provides good insight and resources.

Dr. Spelgatti is awesome! He takes the time to listen and understand, throughly explains everything to me, along with sending me notes so I can go back and reflect later. He makes it fun and comfortable.

Super awesome very good listener with great advice and insight!

Overall, fantastic experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Spelgatti.

Dr . Spelgatti is great to work with. He is intuitive and has an excellent understanding of both psychological and spiritual matters. He can take my somewhat long-winded messages and summarize them in only a few sentences which helps immensely in figuring out why I feel the way I do about whatever the topic at hand is. He is also excellent at explaining how different theories and systems work, for example CBT. He uses a variety of approaches and gives me homework to do which helps keep up the momentum during the week. I would highly recommend him

Dr Sean spelgatti is amazing and he honestly is the best I took a break and this was a mistake he is truly a lifesaver and I never want him to leave he is that good honestly There is no therapist like him he is amazing he listens no judgement and understands and really challenges you to think about yourself and make true and real changes

Dr. Spelgatti has been working with me for several months now and I recommend him especially for professionals starting new roles or someone needing to decompress what’s happening in life.

He is a great therapist, but over that he is a wonderful person who truly cares about his clients.

Dr Spelgatti is a very kind and gentle person. He’s great at breaking down problems and sorting through the different pieces and thoughts. He’s encouraging and I never feel pressured by Dr Sean. I always leave a session feeling refreshed and heard. It’s obvious that Dr Sean cares a lot about his patients. Every session

Dr. Spelgatti is open, honest, and very easy to communicate with. Has introduced me to some new ways of thinking which are really helping me get out of my ‘funk’

Great listener. Provides feedback that has then allowed me to see improvement in my life

He is patience. We only had a few sessions but they were extremely helpful.

He is caring, great at what he does, and very knoweldgeable.

Just began w/ him a couple weeks ago for my first ever therapy, but so far we’ve already come up w/ a variety of tips & solutions for some trouble currently concerning me, and I’ve been happy to learn from this smart & experienced therapist.

He's a super nice guy who really knows how to connect with me. He's always really positive and constantly sends me reassuring messages that help me get through the day. He asks me a lot about what I want to focus on so I'm always getting the help I need.

Sean has been very helpful in my endeavors to see myself and identify tools to be better for myself and others.

My wife was concerned I had ADHD. I didn’t know where to turn. I found Dr. Spelgatti and he listened to my concerns and provided a thorough response. What I also greatly appreciated was his responsiveness. I recommend him.

Dr. Spelgatti is the kindest, non-judgmental, and most passionate soul there is. He is very knowledgeable and loves his job. He uses many different tools to help me through various dilemmas. He motivates me to take care of myself and has been very patient with me through this process. He always makes me feel involved in my healing process .

Amazing therapist

I’ve been working with Sean, for a while, on self-esteem, confidence, relationship issues, family issues, and anxiety. He has helped me, understand that I had to face my fears, instead of running away from them. His care and support helped me, be a better version of myself. I am thankful, for the opportunity, for working with Dr. Spelgatti, on these issues, and the encouragement, he has shown, along the way. He’s a great therapist, that’s truly caring, and loves helping people.

He is amazing and I don’t say this lightly, I have been through 2 betterhelp therapists and thought it was all over and there was no hope but then along came Sean and changed my life for the better honestly- go with Sean you won’t regret it

Very professional and attentive.

Very responsive and insightful.

Dr Spelgatti is an amazing therapist. He listens well he has a holistic approach that helps you put your therapy into real life practice right away. I literally saw changes in my life the first week of therapy with Dr Sean. He's very empathetic but also has a way of speaking clearly about the situations that he sees but he has never made me feel judged. I would not change therapists in a million years

Dr. Spelgatti is a straight shooter, no BS kind of guy. I'm busy and appreciate that very much. He's super responsive, and just the right amount of proactive and pushing to keep me moving forward, which I might not do on my own. I couldn't work with someone I didn't respect professionally and he's got credentials for days.

Dr. Spelgatti is a knowledgable, empathetic and caring therapist. He's also very responsive and sends thought-provoking messages, whether I've brought up a concern or not. Much appreciated!

Dr. Spelgatti and I have been working together for a few months now, but we were able to become comfortable and familiar with each other very early on. That has made the experience much more gratifying for me, because I feel encouraged to be the most myself that I can be.

Very sensitive, knowledgeable, and attentive. Wow!

I’ve only been in therapy with him for a few weeks now but so far he seems great. He listens well and his actions and responses prove that. He is not old fashioned which is key for me because he is open minded.

Dr. Spelgatti has been really great to work with. Working with the texting platform to communicate is great for me so I can write down any issue I’m having in real time as it arises instead of waiting for a weekly appointment.

Provides healthy alternatives to destructive coping mechanisms

I've never been to a therapist before, but Dr.Spelgatti has been a tremendous help! He doesn't overestimate or underestimate me. I set the bar. It's nice to enter a conversation without having yet another pile of expectations put on me❤ This has helped me to untangle the areas of my life that I can and not be afraid to ask him for help or suggestions when I'm feeling stuck. Dr. Sean is one of the good ones!

I have nothing but good things to say about my time working with Sean. He is a great resource for me; never judgmental and willing to listen objectively. He asks thought provoking questions that helped me to breakdown and understand my thoughts and emotions. Through open and honest dialogue I have been able to better understand myself and he provided me with the tool I need to manage my expectations of myself and those around me. I appreciate the open relationship we've been able to develop. I would highly recommend Sean to others working through the same struggles that I have had.

Dr. Spelgatti is very attentive and responsive to messages. He uses a lot of techniques, and meets me where I am.

I've worked with Dr. Spelgatti for almost 6 months now and feel like I have enough experience with him to say what kind of counselor he is.

Dr. Spelgatti has helped me tremendously in the short time I’ve been seeing him and am optimistic and hopeful that he will help me right the ship and steer out of some of my most everlasting and destructive storms in life.

This guy is right on the money. He uses real world techniques that are easy to understand and work. My previous therapist was a teacher of TX! Dr. S is a teacher of life and how to enjoy it. I look forward to my sessions and see much improvement in my overall well-being

While we’ve only just begun this therapeutic journey together, I feel that Dr. Spelgatti has listened to me well and provided me with valuable advice for helping me through my struggles.

Dr. Spelgatti provides the right balance of active listening and thought provoking questions that I was hoping to have in my counselor. I look forward to our sessions every week and the self discovery that follows.
