Monica has given me the tools to change my life! She helped me to figure out what exactly is it I need to change during a hopeless season in my life. She held me accountable for the things we decided I would work on. She’s soft spoken and calming but is still powerful with her impact. She challenges me and my thoughts and helps me to reframe negative situations and identify how to move forward. She’s timely, organized and extremely responsive. I’m grateful for her beyond what she’s knows.

Very patient. Been seeing her 3 years. I was slow to warm up to CBT, but we got around to doing it and if effectively taught me coping skills that resulted in my high blood pressure being stabilized in the first time in two years, even with medication. Very helpful. She recommended I see a dr who can do both mental health Med management and physical, and I listened and I’m glad I did. It has been very helpful. I think she’s amazing.

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.
