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.

Overall rating:
Ray is great. I'm very comfortable talking to him and he always has great ideas for working through problems.
He is very helpful and listens well, I like that he gives me assignments to do to better understand myself
I have been in counseling for years and after only a couple sessions I already feel Ray is a better fit for me and he has really opened my eyes to my lack of boundaries in my life.
Ray is an amazing therapist. He definitely provides me with the tools to to prioritize my mental health and communication. I’m very thankful for this experience.
Very good at listening and providing resources
Ray is great, I feel comfortable and not judged at all. I can tell he prepares in advance for the meetings and thinks on what I've said in the last session or sent in the chat. It makes me feel listened to. That's not something every care provider can do. Glad I got him!
Ray is a great listener and he helps provide me with great steps into becoming better. I would recommend him to anyone!
Ray takes time to listen to me and my concerns. He doesn’t make me feel bad. Instead I found a new member to add to my support system.
in just two sessions I feel so much more in control of my life , it means a lot to have a person that I can lean on. Great man
I’m still moved by Ray’s methods in helping me. Very thankful for him. He does not make me feel like I’m bringing things on to myself instead he helps me understand my emotions and provides me with tools to understand and implement new methods.
