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.

Carole is a very attentive and professional counselor she gives good advice and so far has been very helpful .
Carole was an excellent counselor! Calm and reassuring, got to know me and my story. Helped me find my own path to getting better and supported me with practical strategies to cope with panic attacks and sleep issues. Carole was always friendly, calm and professional. She always checked in to see how I was doing and sent me great resources. I got to know her a little bit as a person too and I appreciated that connection. If I ever need help again I’d love to reconnect with Carole. Thank you for being there for me when I needed some professional help.
Great counselor, great listener!!
