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.

So far I have been pleased with the help from Mrs. Speed. I was nervous getting started, but she made it very easy and comfortable for me to talk to her.
Laurie, Is the nicest lady, she is very professional and offers me good feedback. I would highly recommend her for a therapist.
Well, so far I have had only two sessions with her and already I feel like I have an educated ally and friend who I can respect and take advice from and who has already been helping me feel heard and hopeful for good change and healing. I like her very much so far! She doesn't have her own agenda and she puts your needs first and is a very good listener! She's like an angel.
Laurie is so warm and empathetic and really creates a safe space to open up! She is very present and I can tell she’s genuinely listening and there with me the whole time. Would highly recommend her
