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.

Stephanie makes me feel heard and understood her expertise is very noticeable with the support and knowledge you receive from her. She provides a very welcoming environment and shows real empathy.
Stephanie is incredible. She demonstrates so much love, care, and professionalism in every session. She offers great insight and asks great questions. She is very intentional about asking me what I need or want from each session. One of the things I appreciate most about her approach is that she knows when to be gentle, and when to be firm. We all need a little of both at times, and her gift is knowing what to give and when.
She’s great, helped me out tremendously!!!
