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.

Barbara treats her clients with respect, and does not come across as a "one method"-therapist.

Reviewed July 2024

I'm so grateful for my sessions with Barbara each week. She both challenges and supports me, through good times and more challenging times. Having her advice each week has helped me in so many ways that it's hard to sum it up in one short review. If you're considering therapy with her, give her a chance because it's ultimately an investment in yourself.
