I wished i could found Dr Ioanna Karaoulani earlier and avoid previous therapists and many sessions without positive outcome in my personal life. She has been really supportive through our journey but also helped me to overcome most of my anxiety and fears in few months… Thanks a million times Ioanna

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.

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.

I wished i could found Dr Ioanna Karaoulani earlier and avoid previous therapists and many sessions without positive outcome in my personal life. She has been really supportive through our journey but also helped me to overcome most of my anxiety and fears in few months… Thanks a million times Ioanna
Dr. Karaoulani is able to grasp the situation quickly, poses the right questions and gives good advice and tools. Her message is easy to understand, it makes sense and resonates with me, so that I think and follow her advice. I see improvement.
She is thoughtful and extremely good at what she does. I feel taken care of, and she helped me a lot in a short timeframe.
Even tho it hasn't been that long for me trying out this therapy thing, I believe that Dr. Karaoulani was able to adequately show me a different perspective of how it works (which if you didn't know is not like in the movies) and to see things from a different angle by getting deeper into individual points. Also, I felt a little happier/cheerful and lighter every time after our session if that makes sense. I tend to also look forward to the upcoming session and have more faith in the process.
Dr. Karaoulani is very attentive and inspiring.
Intuitive, supportive, and unswayed by my negative talk, Dr Karaoulani helps me to center and reassess problems and envision/enact progress.
Dr Karaoulani is an amazing therapist. She has helped me a lot and I hope to continue my therapy with her.
Dr Ioanna helped me a lot with a lot of traumatic events that were holding me back in my life for a long time. She is very empathetic, emotianally available, and created a really safe space for me to work through my issues. Great professional, I am so glad I was matched with her as my therapist.
