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.

I am very thankful for Kylie. She is always very responsive and helped me through a very severe panic attack. I look forward to doing more work with her.
Kylie is an awesome listener! Very sweet. I felt cared for. Not judgmental. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you Kylie for not giving up on me!
I like Kylie, she’s a very good listener and I can feel she’s really trying to help, as a professional. I will definitely recommend her.
For the first time in a long time I feel good again and not afraid. I even have hope in therapy again.
Kylie has been very helpful in my time of need. She's always been respectful and offers tons of coping mechanisms as well as support.
Very helpful, answered questions and practiced with worksheets. Going to me doctor soon and going to see a local LMFT. Almost there!
Kylie Kam is wonderful. She is prompt at responding and has helped me walk through my issues in an effective manner. She responds within the same day and always seems to truely care.
Kylie is caring, supportive, and great to talk to. I wasn’t sure how virtual therapy would work out for me, but she has made it a great experience. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Kylie has been good and very responsive. Mostly I have needed a sounding board - which has been very helpful lately!
