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.

Julia is incredible.
Julia is really phenomenal and one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. She is very easy to talk to and be open with, even when it comes to the most private and difficult situations. She has a special way of building your self esteem while also telling you what you need to hear. When I first started working with her I was in the middle of the worst depressive episode I have had in over 20 years. I couldn’t have gotten through it without her help. That was one year ago and a lot of growth has happened in my life since then. I’m forever grateful for her!
Julia is great
She has helped me to do things that are not inmy normal comfort zone and really does everything to find out where trauma experience comes from and ways to cope
I have only been seeing Julia for a couple months and my life has already had so many upswings from it. It’s not like everything in my life stopped being crazy but more that she has already given me so much confidence and so many tools to work through those things that I don’t feel quite as unprepared. Knowing I have someone who is there to encourage me and celebrate my wins even when they feel small is so comforting. It’s refreshing to have someone tell you it’s okay, or rather important, to help yourself, believe in yourself and put yourself first and mean it. She is always positive and attentive and she never makes me feel out of place talking to her. 10/10 would always recommend.
Julia is a great guide. She listens deeply and offers new perspectives. She’s friendly, warm, caring and committed. It’s obvious she enjoys her work, and that energy is infectious. I always look forward to our calls.
She has had a profound impact on my life. She is an amazing therapist.
I've been seeing Julia for several months now, initially on my own and then with my partner, and I can confidently say she's been instrumental in our journey towards better mental health and relationship dynamics. Julia's compassionate and insightful approach creates a safe space where we feel heard and understood. Her ability to navigate complex emotions and facilitate productive communication has been invaluable to us. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic therapist.
A very kind therapist who really goes out of her way for her clients. She has helped me out of the worst depression of my adult life and helped me navigate a busy career. I’m really thankful for her!
Julia is god sent in my eyes. She has helped me through my troubled times. Gives me focus and lets me view the world differently. Contributed to my rise after I fell so low last year.
Empathetic, great listener - goes at my pace and is very thoughtful in responses and providing tools.
Very helpful, very knowledgeable, and comforting and understanding
I have been struggling with mental health and anxiety after a miscarriage and Julia has helped me so much! She is so understanding and caring. She takes the time to listen and really digs deep. She gives the tools to help me cope and deal with exactly I’m going through. I look forward to our sessions every week because I know we will dig deeper and I will leave with new knowledge of how to help myself. I have implemented the tools she has given me and I’m starting to feel so much better! I am so thankful I started therapy because through the ups and downs I have someone to talk to about every emotion. Julia has been there for me and is such a loving big hearted person. She makes time for our sessions even outside of her regular hours and is very responsive if I need her. When I am going through my daily life I can here her voice in my head guiding me through. I am really thankful for Julia and I can’t wait to continue to grow and get happier using therapy!
Very good and professional
She takes the time to listen, and understands my concerns and gives me ways to think differently. She also gives small simple task to try over a week that help greatly
Julia is an incredible therapist. She is compassionate, really tries to understand your situation, and gives actionable steps about how to improve one's mental health. I appreciate her because after every session of talking with her I feel heard, understood, and hopeful that everything will be okay in the future.
Really seeing the benefits of a therapy with just the few sessions we have had
Personable, capable and non-judgemental
Julia is an impeccable listener. She also knows how to ask the right questions, questions that help us both get to the bottom of the issue. She is also patient.
Julia has been a godsend to me. I have suffered many traumas in my life physical, sexual, and the rest she knows. I lost my youngest son February 3 of 2022 and I originally had started going to her for this grief I could tell immediate differences in my emotional health dealing with this group within the first two weeks. We have also touched on my past traumas in my childhood which she has helped tremendously in dealing with these. I will be forever grateful to have her in my life if my son still stands for anything it was to get his mother into therapy to improve her mental health. I love you Julia I will never forget you.
I love working with Julie - she is very helpful caring and also direct with solutions.
I've only had two conversations with Julia Mcgarry, but I'm looking forward to the third. I don't have experience with therapists and didn't know what to expect. Still don't really, but I found Julia to be intuitive and quickly understood--probably better than I do myself--what topics and conversations would be insightful and help me reach a quieter state.
She is always there for you. Responds to messages really fast.
