I have never been a fan of virtual interaction, but Dr. Caro’s presence makes me feel like we are in the same room. Her weekly “homework “ is meaningful and doable for an exceptionally busy person. Dr. Caro is a consummate professional.

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.
