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.

I am so happy I got to know Valerie. She is exceptional.
Val has been absolutely amazing! I really feel like I’m in a safe place where I feel supported, heard and respected. Honestly I had my hesitation and conserved to go to therapy but they have disappeared after working with Val. I can honestly say I feel confident to face my challenges n tramas with her help.
Amazing care, and always communicates back properly. Listens to what I have concerns about, and also pushed me to talk about things that need to be talked about, which I appreciate. I am the type of person that will not talk about anything personal unless pushed, so I need that type of care.
Val is a great therapist. Highly recommend!
She has been a wonderful therapist. She listens and gives advice as to deal with situations.
I’ve been speaking to Val for about a month now. She has been amazing at helping me focus and understand my emotions and I look forward to continuing my progress with her.
She’s the best!!!
