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 love working with Dominique! She’s flexible but keeps me on track as far as addressing underlying concerns as well as things that come up throughout the week. She’s very easy to talk to and very relatable. She is excellent at helping me come to my own conclusions but also provide input and advice when needed. I feel like she truly understands each situation, and is sympathetic, but is also able to remain unbiased. She has helped me immensely so far with tackling underlying concerns as well as new situations and how it all ties together. I’m getting a much better understanding of not only myself, but beginning to have an acceptance of myself. It’s a work in progress but it’s an amazing feeling.

Dominique has a special gift. She offers sound advice and a loving and comforting approach towards her clients. She is “ better help” . It is comforting to unload anxiety and stresses with her calm and loving demeanor. Better Help, in that I don’t feel I am unloading on family and friends I’d rather not. She gets the job done. Clears my head and heart and I can function more appropriately and peacefully. She is definitely a positive influence in my life. She is my third therapist. I consider her to be the most effective, kind, smart and right fit. I know she will help many others.
