A warm and welcoming feeling I have from the start. She is doing a lot of listening and gathering info and having me look at myself in between our video time. I feel safe and relaxed and know I'm going to get so much out of this. Thank the powers that be that this is available for those of us who can't guite afford the full shot but is certainly happy to pay what is fair for all. I always like a deal where both parties are agreeing to give a little for the betterment of all involved, really.

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.
