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.

Easy to feel comfortable with and is very engaged. Very professional. Only a couple sessions in with her and feel more comfortable with her than past therapists.
Laura is the best therapist out there! She is very attentive, understanding and caring. She's also such a great listener. She has helped me immensely with unresolved childhood trauma. Each day I improve because of her help. I'm grateful to have her as a therapist.
Amazing woman who diagnoses to the core!
Our therapy sessions have been massively impactful in my life- they’ve been transformative and inspirational. I can’t thank or recommend Mrs. Richardson enough. 10/10.
Laura has been great, she is knowledgeable and provides advice and guidance that has helped me in my journey.
I’ve had four therapy sessions with Laura, and I feel very comfortable talking to her. She’s easy to open up to, listens to my concerns, and is open-minded, which makes it easy to talk about anything. I would definitely recommend her. She’s knowledgeable and helps identify possible issues clearly. Thank you! I’ll definitely continue therapy with her.
Very professional and attentive , expert advice in the crazy life I have had
I have tried therapy in the paqst and didn't feel I got anything out of it. Laura is amazing and I am glad to be working with her. She listens and gives me what I need.
She’s the best
Laura helped me reshape my perspective when I was at an all time low. She would break negative thought patterns and have me focus on what I can control, and with that I was able to see the power and ability I have in changing my own life. I can’t thank Laura enough!
I have been working with Laura for a few months now. During my first session I knew right away that she was the right fit - I felt that she 'got' me, and that I was incredibly comfortable and at ease discussing things with her. I like how she challenges me to see the other side...and to really dig deep with my emotions. I am glad I was paired with Laura and I appreciate all of her feedback and insights. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I have never felt more comfortable talking to someone. She understands and listened to me and my challenges and gives me the tools to use to better myself, and those around me. If I gave Laura a theme song to life it would best be "Don't worry be Happy!" THANK YOU LAURA!!!
Great therapist
Laura is great! She is patient and gets to understanding you . She will find ways to help and support you in many ways. She makes a difference!
