I really like my therapist. Kind. Gentle. Respectful. She is easy to talk to. I felt comfortable immediately with her. Almost like my mom but not so judgmental. I look forward to my sessions.

- LPC
I am licensed in Wisconsin as a professional counselor with nearly 20 years of experience. I help clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression—all of the life challenges that throw us off course. I have found it important to bring a holistic approach to care and well-being, recognizing the synergistic relationship of body, mind, spirit. I offer respect, sensitivity, and compassion, recognizing and honoring the uniqueness of your personal journey. Our work together will be strength-based, collaborative, and experiential—designed to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. Congratulations on making that commitment to you. It's surprising how wonderful life can be when we are able to take action and get involved in our own healing.

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.

Overall rating:
I really like my therapist. Kind. Gentle. Respectful. She is easy to talk to. I felt comfortable immediately with her. Almost like my mom but not so judgmental. I look forward to my sessions.
She was cool
I’ve never had such a compassionate therapist that understands me and how I best respond to treatment. She really listens so that I feel heard and safe to be vulnerable
She great!
Kailean gives me the opportunity to adjust our sessions to what fit exactly what I need. She listens on days when I just need to talk about what’s happening, while giving great tools and advice on days I can’t figure out my next move. Always a positive, encouraging experience.
Barbara is extremely compassionate, non judge mental and makes me feel really safe in opening up to her
Very responsive and supportive.
Kailean has really helped me process an unusual circumstance and always provides professional and compassionate feedback. She allows me to speak honestly and freely without judgement. I highly recommend her services.
She is amazing and reaches out to you; even if you don’t respond in a timely manner.
