She has truly helped me, i feel like she knows what she's doing. Even in the worst days of social isolation the sessions are never something i dread. She's very patient, never makes me feel guilty or wrong or anything, she fits the therapy to your needs, and she's humble, when she suggests something i don't agree with or i'm uncomfortable with, she always listens and considers my point of view worthy.

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.

Thank you so much for helping me with every week Video chat about my journey. I’m able to going along my life much easier after all your effort and assignments. I really appreciate your dedication with a such strong work ethic along our meetings. I recommend to all in need!
My sessions with Diana came at a fairly critical point for me, and I can happily say they’ve been beneficial. Diana is exceptionally professional, and her method of work is valuable. Through different tools adapted to me, Diana helped me see things from a different perspective, and now I feel confident using them on my own. She is a very understanding and empathetic person who made me feel completely at ease discussing anything on my mind and expressing difficult emotions. I would recommend Diana to anyone who needs help, she is an excellent therapist, and I am very glad to have met her.
Diana has been an excellent therapist to me thus far. She has been incredibly kind, understanding and empathetic. Diana has always made me feel like she understands what I'm trying to communicate.

This combination of empathy and practicality makes me feel more hopeful for a brighter future.
