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.

Overall rating:
Joanne has been great, I really appreciated her flexibility and kind, gentle way of talking. This was my first experience with therapy and it's been so positive so far
After each session i start to get to know myself better. Thank you Joanne
We have built a comfortable and trusted relationship in a relatively short time. Joanne is understanding and not judgemental and helps me work through my trauma
Joanne is wonderful! So kind and she offers really good guidance.
Joanne IS THE BEST
The first therapist I matched with did not really make me feel welcome so I was sceptical. Then Joanne came along. Her listening, empathy and real sensitivity help me sort some strong emotions out in a very simple and controlled manner.
I have been talk with Joanne for about a month now and have been able to talk with her openly and easily. She has given me ways of coping and reflecting that has assisted me to approach everyday challenges with calmness. I look forward to continue my journey with her
Joanne have been very insightful, understanding, respectful and reassuring. It has not been easy discussing difficult conversations but Joanne has always listened and validated me and my concerns. Would definitely recommend and would use Joanne as my therapist again in the future.
Have recently started working with Jo and have found her to be extremely empathetic and reflective. She is particularly reflective about what might be going on for other people in my life - as someone with Autism I do find this particularly difficult, but the questions she poses are helping me to become a more reflective thinker. If you want a therapist who will validate you and listen to your story without judgement Jo is certainly the therapist for you.
We have only had a video and phone session, and texted for a week or two, but so far this has been very helpful. I am new to being an adult, but Joanne is the first helpful therapist I have ever had (which says a lot about child therapists). Would recommend, and have recommended!
