I have only had a few sessions with Shirely so far but she has been a huge comfort. I feel so much ease talking to her. She also has so much knowledge and expertise, and is very great at talking me through my thoughts and helping me process/understand them better. I am really happy to be working with her.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
