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.

Deirdre not only listens carefully but is also caring as much as helping. She makes me laugh even when I am at my lowest and she gives me confidence that I can fix my issues. She is giving fantastic advices and knows when I hide things and change the topic on purpose. She always comes back to it in a sweet way. I really thinks she is amazing.

Fantastic, life changing therapist!

Reviewed February 2024

As a first experience with therapy Deidre Levins has helped me navigate the anxiety that comes with that first experience and made me feel very comfortable sharing no matter the subject. I have been able to text, call or video call depending on the week which has made this an excellent experience so far.

Deidre is compassionate, understanding and patient. She takes time to listen carefully to you and picks up on keywords that is causing root issues. This is very helpful and insightful. She gives you thought provoking homework which is constructive to shifting your toxic way of thinking. I feel hopeful, unburdened and peaceful after a session. I would highly recommend her.

From the get go, Deirdre has been an absolutely incredible person to work with. She understands my needs in a way that few have in the past. She is thoughtful, respectful and accommodating. She allows me to lead our sessions and makes me feel heard, valued and appreciated.

I’ve loved my time talking to Deirdre

Reviewed December 2022

Deirdre has been absolutely wonderful, I could not recommend her highly enough. She is kind, compassionate, thoughtful and loving. She's helped me open up and address issues in my past I thought I'd never discuss with anyone, without judgement or prejudice. She's helped me understand why things happened, see beyond them and accept them, without letting what happened define me. If you are - like I was - terrified of opening up, I promise you won't be disappointed by your choice. Her help has genuinely been life changing.

Reviewed November 2022

I have had only two sessions with Deirdre so far, but based on what I have seen I can highly recommend her. She combines different techniques (empathic listening, behavioural therapy, psychoanalysis) to get the best results. Her solution orientation also shows in the fact that she developed the first hypotheses and carved out issues quite early in the therapy rather than spending a lot of time exploring before pinning down issues and actions. She develops these hypotheses in close cooperation with me, so it does not feel prescriptive or judgemental. She gave me helpful „homework“ from the first session which has been to the point of my problem and triggered helpful thoughts, and we continue combining analysis with action as a team from one session to the next. So, also from an „investment perspective“, you get great value for every session.

Reviewed November 2022

She is attentive, professional, precise and overall very easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family and anyone who needs therapy.
