Reagan helped/is helping me get over the things that are hurting me, and she gave me a lot of tools that I will use down the line. Talking to her has made me feel much better.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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 had an amazing therapist in madison wisconsin 2 years ago and it was really hard losing her and finding a new one to adapt to. I tried maybe 3 or 4 but when I was in a crisis and needed one right away better help came through right away. Then raegan was just amazing at accepting what's going on and trying to push me forward and focus on myself
