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.

This has been a great experience so far. I really enjoy my time with Ann. She helps me uncover parts of myself and guides me to identify what I can work on to make positive changes in my life. She guides, supports, and encourages. She celebrates my successes with me and helps me through the tougher moments. I like that she sends me things to review and work through.
