She’s been such a gentle listener and attentive. She catches small nuances about myself that even I miss when I am talking about myself. She’s been so relatable and accesible too. I appreciate having someone like her to talk to.

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.
