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.

Luretha is a kind, experienced therapist. She is easy to talk to and has a wide range in terms of how she can help individuals. Her approach is friendly and she listens attentively. Her biggest asset for me was the advice given after taking it all in. She really cares and outs in the effort.
Ms. Kelly is the Best. I would highly recommend using her as a Therapist.
