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.

Erik listens to my problems with out any judgement and helps me think of better ways to deal with stress and cope with traumatic cycles that effect my everyday life. I'm glad to have his help.
Erik is a good listener. He gave me space to explain a traumatic experience that was ongoing for a few weeks and complex. He reassured me and gave me a safe place to unpack a lot of things, in disparate order at times. In our third session he assessed all the information points from my variois brain dumps and came up with words that immediately validated the course of action I had taken. It was an instant and rapturous virtual high five from me. Thank you Eric! Highly recommend if you prefer a professional laid-back style. I am back to looking forward to therapy each week.
He checks In on me when I haven't scheduled appointments and teaches me new ways to deal with problems.
Erik is a very positive person. Has a adaptive ability to help you see things in a way you may be stuck on. I can honestly say I would recommend him to anyone going through what I was.
Seems like a great guy. Have had 1 session dealing with work stress. Was great and easy to talk to.
Erik and I are on the same page with literally everything ! He understands my issues and is is very knowledgeable and empathetic to my issues! I’m so thankful to have him as my therapist
Listens well and can relate well
Erik is a great communicator and simplifies. Great job to him!!
Erik is a very nice guy. He is one of the first people outside of my family that I have ever felt comfortable speaking with about issues in my life. I appreciate all the sessions I’ve had with him so far and I look forward to all the ones in the future, I have grown a lot and am able to understand myself a lot better.
Just started with Erik, I’m already comfortable to talk to him about my problems
Erik is an amazing therapist! Very intuitive and friendly!
