This man knows what he’s doing in a therapy session. He’s so helpful and really a master in his craft. Highly recommend to anyone. In two sessions he’s completely helped me change how I think about myself and I’m more self assured and happier for these sessions.

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.
