Sylvia is very attentive and doesn’t just throw clinical jargon and off the cuff responses back at me. It’s quite obvious she truly takes the time to consider and analyze what I’ve presented. It’s not just cookie cutter therapy. I truly feel Sylvia is treating me and my situation very specifically and not just reciting therapy rhetoric back at me. A very comfortable and welcoming experience. I very much look forward to my journey to better mental and emotional health with Sylvia as my therapist.

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.
