Dr. O'Shea not only listens intently to me in our sessions, but she spends her own private time between sessions thinking about what we have talked about and how to guide what I consider to be my recovery path so I can enjoy a more fulfilling life that I am accepting and proud of. With each session I make progress that I wasn't making without her. I have read a lot of books, talked to a lot of people, done a lot of journaling. But the gentle insightful guidance I am getting from Dr. O'Shea is the difference maker so I can finally tackle the issues in my past that are sabotaging the person I want to become.

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.
