Amanda is a great therapist and is helping me to figure out ways to handle being a new mom! It is such a struggle but I am slowly finding ways to handle it and am finding more moments of joy in this new era of my life with her help.

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.

Amanda has been so patient with me- I can tell there is a positive difference in how comfortable I am speaking about my personal matters since we've began our sessions. She has also provided many helpful resources to help me.

Amanda is a great listener with a lot of knowledge in this field. She is compassionate and assertive just like I asked them to pair me with. Thanks, Amanda!

I love her! She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had the honor of working with and makes me feel so seen, safe, and supported!

Reviewed March 2024

I would highly recommend Amanda. She was able to help me process and put into words things that I had been struggling with internally but hadn't been able to work through on my own. I am sometimes in awe of much she "gets it" after just a few sessions. She has given me tools to help with anxiety that have actually worked for me. She has coached me on how I can approach conversations or situations differently so I don't keep doing the same things that result in negative outcomes.

Reviewed November 2023

Amanda Marvin is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, punctual, and many other things that a therapist should be. She is always seeking ways to help me process some of the emotions I have issues processing, and she has many different tools (CBT, self acceptance, etc) that offer a variety of ways to cope in a healthy manner. I would absolutely recommend Amanda Marvin to anyone seeking therapy.

Amazing !!

Reviewed May 2023

Amanda Marvin is thoughtful, kind, and offers excellent insight. Even though I dig up past experiences in therapy to talk about and reliving it feels traumatic, Amanda’s perspective and kind commentary always makes me feel better and less broken every time I leave a session. I couldn’t recommend her more. On top of that, she provides great worksheets to use as we move through different issues I want to work on and I truly appreciate it.

Absolutely love her as my therapist!

Reviewed March 2023

Even though I was only able to meet with her once , I loved my session with Amanda. It felt like she genuinely cared for me and that is rare in a therapist. She put her own needs aside and helped me the way I needed with my special situations. Thank you Amanda for everything, you are a wonderful person and I was so glad to meet you. Don't hesitate to make Amanda your better help therapist, you won't regret it.
