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.

Hi Lisa, I hope that things are going well for you. At this time I have decided withdraw from therapy. I appreciate your feedback over the past 3 weeks and feel that I am back in control of my life. Although I still have ma things that I am working through with my family I have comfort in the decision that were made. I thank you for your time and words of wisdom.

Lisa is great! She really lets me express what I’m feeling and then gives me time to react to her statements and questions l. I love that she takes the time to read and respond to my journal entries so she already has an idea of what my week has been so I don’t spend the entire session just trying to catch her up. I also like Thats she gives me prints that make me think and reflect.

Reviewed June 2022

Getting a word of encouragement or a worksheet to review between sessions has been helpful. A week can feel really long waiting to share how you’re feeling while working on your goals. Thanks for the little extras Lisa.
