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.

I absolutely love her she has helped me tremendously
I was very apprehensive to start therapy again. However, once Lisa and I started working together, I realized this was exactly what I needed. She’s incredibly helpful and thoughtful. She empathetic and always offers suggestions to manage my anxiety. I’m incredibly thankful to be matched with her and I look forward to working with her more. I can’t express enough how much she’s helped me.
I’ve been going to her for a few weeks now and she makes me excited to go back and talk to her. I always feel like she really listens and I’m confident in her ability. Talking to her is easy and comfortable.
