Dr. Alexa has been an excellent support for me as I transitioned from full-time worker to part-time worker/retired person. Exercises were designed specifically for me and the work I needed to do to learn how to incorporate coping mechanisms and identify messages that I had for my past that were no longer helpful.

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.

She’s the best!
She is a kind and genuine person. It is easy to be relaxed during our sessions, as I feel heard but not judged. All around, she's punctual, respectful, and knowledgeable.
Dr. Branagan is such a support, always willing to hold my hand through some tough times, and help me out the other side. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about working on their issues & following through to overcoming them!
Amazing, 10/10.

I appreciate Dr. Branagan for always being available for being concerned with my well being.
Dr. Branagan has been an extreme amount already with just the few amount of sessions we've had. She does an amazing job at making sure I'm comfortable during our sessions and helping me understand why certain things occur in my thought process that i didn't understand before at all.
I have only had 2 sessions to this point, but they have been very helpful, she always comes to our sessions prepared and asks questions that are helping me navigate my issue.
Dr. Alexa has been SUPER responsive, empathic, kind, compassionate & educational. She has excellent skills & would recommend her to help with any issue.
