Debra Lyons is an amazing therapist! She goes above and beyond, and I am really happy to have her as my therapist. Going into therapy I was really unsure, and I fought it for a while, but I couldn't ask for a better therapist! She is one of a kind!

About online counseling

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.
