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.

Dr. Frantzen has truly been a lifeline for me. I’ve been seeing her for depression and anxiety, and her care has been nothing short of exceptional. She’s helped me develop coping mechanisms and her compassionate approach has made me feel genuinely supported every step of the way. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to make the same progress without her expertise and support.

I have the most growth with Dr Frantzen than any other therapist I have worked with. She listens and addresses primary concerns and offers gentle reminders of things that I may want to avoid. She’s patient and thoughtful in her approach while also making sure I’m not being “let off the hook” for things I need to work on. She allows me the space to talk, process and understand why I have many of the reactions that come up.
