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.

Jo is so nice and caring! Would definitely recommend!
I'm on a roller coaster of experience and jo is my torch through it all, I keep going off and then I remember I have my rock. Jo is my rock and people like me need that rock
Joanna is kind and understanding during our sessions and she listens tentatively so she can ask questions which really make me reflect on my mental health. I couldn't recommend her more, she is such a lovely and caring individual!
