About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Ms. Longson is a godsend. I initially signed up for therapy for a specific reason but then life threw me a curve ball and my needs changed. Nicola has been patient and kind as I’ve navigated through a life challenge in real time and I am so thankful she’s been there. I would recommend her to anyone in any walk of life, she is an absolute treasure of a soul. I’m so grateful for her wisdom and kindness!
Nicola is kind and patient. I’ve been fortunate to have her expertise and assistance the past few months as I work through becoming the best version of myself while unburying and healing childhood trauma that continues to haunt me.
