About online counseling

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.

Dr. Hensley’s approach and techniques are right on point. Her empathetic and compassionate manner allows a safe place for me to confide in my deepest most vulnerable feelings. She listens with absolutely no judgment and sends information based on what I need specifically. Since I’ve been meeting with her I have felt a great improvement in my emotional well being. She is sincerely kind and always checks in on me to see if I’m doing ok. Dr. Hensley would be my highest recommendation for self help to anyone who is suffering.
