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.

Very professional. I mostly appreciate her sense of humor! I feel she is not judgmental by any means.
Willie is a really good therapist and she has been there when I felt lonely
Ms. Willie is absolutely wonderful. She is so warm, patient, and speaking with her is very revelatory. Having social anxiety can be crippling and can make simple interactions very difficult, but I actually look forward to my sessions with Ms. Willie and end them feeling hopeful.
I think I respond very well to Willie’s wisdom and suggestions as she is a very careful listener who matches her responses to me with a gentleness I need right now. I’m feel very fortunate to have been paired with her.
I can tell Willie is a true and longtime professional. She listened and immediately helped me focus and identify issues of stress and anxiety. She talked me through my thinking and guided me in a manner that supported me without telling me. She is very compassionate and I would highly recommend her.
So professional and supportive
We’ve only had one session but it was really reassuring and I feel like I am looking towards very productive sessions.
Willie is great, would highly recommend.
This was my first time trying therapy and being matched with Willie has been amazing so far. She listens, I feel so comfortable sharing anything, and she helps guide me through my problems. Highly recommend her!
I have loved working with Ms. Denard! She is sweet, a great listener, and has provided me with extra resources when appropriate. We worked on grief/loss and I'm thankful for her partnership in supporting me through a difficult time.
This is my first time trying therapy. I feel my sessions with Willie are very helpful. I connect with her warm and attentive energy and I come out of our sessions feeling more confident and clear about actions I need to take. She shares worksheets and relevant groupinar events with me promptly.
She is very easy to talk to. She is friendly, knowledgeable and provides strategies and explanations of why I respond the way I do. She is the missing puzzle piece I have been looking for.
I love her “bedside manner.” She listens well. She allows me to think through my issues. She supports my need to be me and helps me celebrate myself rather than self deprecate.
I absolutely love Willie. After a year of searching for therapy on my own, I finally found a therapist that asks the right questions and offers comfort, coping mechanisms, solutions, and overall help. I go to my friends after every session to tell them how much I love my therapist and how smart she is. In fact, I always call her a genius.
