About online counseling

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.

by far and away the greatest therapist I have ever had, and well I have had many over the years!
She makes me feel like there is hope in my situation
Thanks to Cora, I am more confident and emotionally mature. She helped me to live through some tough times. During our sessions, I always felt heard and validated and after them calm, relieved and motivated to pursue my goals.
In a very short time Cora has helped me sort through some of the most chronic issues of my life. I was worried if our different cultures would be an obstacle but she's an excellent listener, asks to understand better and her guidance, support and advice is empathetic, practical and real. Working with her has been wonderful!
Helping me with my grief and adjustments. She makes me feel like I’m just talking to a friend and then boom great advice guidance and support.
The time I've spent with Cora has been extremely valuable to my growth. She is compassionate and caring. Thank you for everything you've shown me how to overcome Cora.
Cora is wonderful. She has helped me organize and make sense of my thoughts, behaviors, and actions. She really knows her stuff and I’m grateful to have worked with her.
She has helped me get through the stages of grief and helping me see life differently.
Cora helped me figure out a methodology to help myself improve my confidence on my own. There's still more that I need to do but I am beginning to trust myself for the first time in years. I was nervous at first because I was scared of what someone else would think of the things I wanted to say but Cora is very good at making you feel comfortable and Is so massively cheerful that it's easy to open up to her.
Cora has helped me through so much this past year, she is very kind and absolutely lovely! With her help and the help of medication I am a completely different person (in a good way!) Thanks cora!
I’ve had a few different therapists and counselors over the years, so I mean it when I say that Cora provides a great environment to express my problems and a non-judge mental perspective when suggesting advice
Cora has been very supportive and helpful. She is helping me make good progress and deal with my traumas
She’s great. Patient and takes her time to understand what I mean
Ms. Strickland has made me feel comfortable in truly expressing my deep feelings. She encourages me and gives me great advice and practical solutions when I need them.
I highly recommend Cora!
Cora is simply the best. I’ve worked with many counselors over the years and Cora takes the #1 spot. She really listens and understands what you are saying and why. I’ve felt that Cora truly wants you to heal and grow in a way that’s right for you. I’ve already recommended working with Cora to a few of my close friends. When I first connected with Cora, I was feeling like I was falling apart and within a few sessions, I felt less misunderstood and more aware of my own thoughts.
I'm no stranger to therapy but it's been years, and Cora gets me to recognize things about myself and my situation that I maybe wouldn't have ever noticed. She got a way of leading me to realize them for myself rather than preaching to me or guessing, like I've seen in other counselors. She's kind and sympathetic, and an engaged listener.
First of all, thank you, Cora. Cora is a great professional that I would recommend to anyone seeking personal professional advice. She helped me to identify, understand, and manage my problems. She always made me feel comfortable and being heard. With all her support and advice, I managed to reach my goals for the sessions. The last 5 months were a great journey where I discovered more about myself, my problems, and how to approach them to get them solved.
Cora has been a perfect fit. She is understanding and so warm and helps me to feel safe to open up and go through the real issues with me! She makes this app worth it! ❤️
Cora was simply wonderful. She was warm, compassionate, supportive, understanding and patient. She provided helpful advice and tools to help me progress into a person who is more "whole". I understand myself better, I feel better equipped to deal with my issues, and so, so much happier. I genuinely feel like I'm in the best mental space I've been in a long time, and she was an instrumental part of that process. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I really appreciate the chance to connect with Cora, the sessions I've had with her made me feel very supported and understood, and I genuinely feel that her help has aided in me transitioning into a better mental space.
Cora has been helping me for a few weeks and has really helped to filter through things the struggles I have battled for years. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Cora listens so attentively and I really respect her straightforward approach to counselling. She will never interrupt you when you’re talking even if you are going on for 5 minutes straight. Her approach might not work for everyone but it definitely works for me. She can take my thoughts and feelings and fit them into pieces to explain why I am a certain way and how it is affecting me. I’m looking forward to feeling and coping better with her support.
I only started working with Cora for couple of weeks but I could say that she is a very warm person. She listens to me without any prejudices. I like talking to Cora since she always provides me solutions. She helps me to understand my self and my own thought. I will continue my work with Cora and definitely recommend her work to anyone looking for a person who is ready to hear you and give you solutions.
Cora has been a great help in addressing my concerns. She has provided good responses when I have questions or need help on a day to day basis. She has provided me some worksheets to help me control my anxiety and depressive thoughts and has checked in when I haven't been able to do sessions. She has been a great counselor so far and I have already made good progress.
Cora’a a literal angel. She really understands me and makes me feel like i’m understood without judgement. She also has a very calming voice. She’s an amazing therapist!
Provides very professional counselling
Cora has been really encouraging to talk to so far. It is nice to talk to Cora and I feel comfortable with her
I have recently started sessions with Cora. Her energy while talking makes me feel more positive. Looking forward towards achieving more progress.
Cora is the best! She is so kind and open. She listens and gives me awesome worksheets to help me learn new behaviours which are very helpful. She doesn’t make me feel awkward and I feel heard and validated.
I look forward to my sessions with Cora as she makes me feel heard and creates a safe space in our conversations. She’s interactive and makes me feel cared about. Although I have only had a small number of sessions with Cora so far, I feel confident that I will be able to reach my goals with counseling with her.
