Talking to Monica is easy and reassuring.

Reviewed December 2023

Monica was very easy to talk to and never judged me. She understood the way I coped with things but also taught me new strategies to use and taught me to see why my coping strategies weren’t helpful. I feel like I have learned so much from her and I am very grateful.

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.

Never had a therapist. First session was very helpful.

Reviewed November 2022

Monica has a great sense of humor but is also very good at setting boundaries. I’ve only had 3 sessions so far but I can tell already that maybe, just maybe, my issues will be addressed…this time. There are some things that I need to change before I can fully benefit from therapy and Monica was pretty quick to figure that out. All in all, Monica is very supportive, positive and will not buy my BS.
