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.

Loving her service so far
Laurel definitely gets me and is a really helpful sounding board. She has great advice for coping skills to try!
Always helpful
She is great
Laurel is fantastic! I felt like a different person after my first two sessions with her. She is kind, caring, compassionate and very supportive.
I'm only in the beginning of my sessions, so right now, all is going well. I appreciate the listening aspect as I seem to need that time to get it all out. It helps when someone takes the time to listen and acknowledge, so thus far, it is going well.
Laurel is kind, caring, empathetic and very professional. I am very comfortable with her and she has helped me tremendously.
I’ve only been dealing my with laurel for a couple sessions but she has been extremely helpful and a great listener
