Lucy is kind and patient. A combination of a motherly best friend. She is firm when she needs to be put not in an aggressive way. Her approach makes you think but also understand the purpose of therapy and the lines that need to be drawn related to her role and your own. Really appreciate her guidance in helping me get myself on a better track again.

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.

After two sessions with Lucy I'm confident I'll be able to make progress with my life and issues
If it weren’t for Lucy, I’m not sure where I’d be today. She really cares about her clients, listens, and guides. I always felt like she was on my side and supporting me but not telling me what to do.
I am so grateful to have found Lucy. She is incredibly attentive, responsive, and very professional. Each session leaves me feeling heard and understood, and I’ve gained so much from our time together. I highly recommend her!
I feel comfortable with Lucy and confident in her abilities.
Just yo clarify, I am pausing my account fir financial reasons not because of my counsellor. It has been a great pleasure working with Lucy Rooney as my counselor, and I intend yo keep her. I cannot express enough how transformative and positive my experience has been. Lucy possesses an incredible ability to listen attentively, provide insightful perspectives, and offer practical solutions to life's challenges. Her compassionate nature and empathetic approach create a safe and nurturing environment where I felt truly understood and supported. Lucy's expertise and professionalism have been invaluable to my personal growth and well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy Rooney to anyone seeking guidance, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace. She is truly a gem in the field of counseling.
Very professional empathetic and attentive. Would definitely recommend
She really lets you take control of sessions and what you want to better about yourself while supplying helpful techniques and worksheets to meet those goals. I've only been with her for three weeks and I already feel a lot better; sometimes you just need to be heard and understood, and she really gets this.
Lucy has been very attentive and understanding about my personal problems. She’s the best listener I’ve met and always provides me with great advice and suggestions to improve my life. It always feels like I’m talking to a friend that I’ve known my entire life. I often tell my friends and family about her amazing perspectives and support in my life. Thanks Lucy for being awesome!
Lucy is really understanding and intuitive, and alongside being a great therapist she is also a beautiful soul :) I signed up for better help when I was in a really difficult spot in life and I am so glad I met Lucy just at the right time. She understood my core right at the start and helped me uncover so many important things about myself. Thank you so much Lucy! :)
Lucy always listens, she gives strategies and worksheet to work on. Her approach is gentle and calm. Messages options in between the sessions helps to stay in touch with her. With my life full of issues all over the place, I feel everything cannot be addressed at the same time.
Lucy has been an excellent support ever since i started therapy a few weeks ago. She listens, supports and always offers excellent and encouraging feedback. She is an excellent therapist and a true professional in what she does.
Lucy is patient and kind, I really appreciate her attitude. She's always respectful.
Lucy is kind and conciderte to me as a client. Her calm and accepting manner settled me as someone newly exploring therapy. She cares deeply and I see it in her eyes. Thank you Lucy.
Lucy really helped me after a hard couple of years. She helped me through the grieving process of my mother and helped me communicate and process my feelings. She was very considerate and gentle. I am grateful for all the therapy sessions I have had and I highly recommend her to anyone who may need guidance.
Lucy has been a fantastic pillar of support for me. She provides the space ideal for an individual seeking to soundboard their issues and concerns, whilst tackling and challenging areas of interest.
Lucy has been my personal cheerleader, sole focus on me, what I'm able to do and supporting me in learning how to achieve my aims
