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.

Kelly has been such a significant uplift in just the short amount of time I have had sessions. Very kind, patient and empathetic. She is also prompt to video sessions and responsive to messaging. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling!
Kelly Shelton is an excellent therapist. We are still getting to know each other, but she is professional, empathetic, an excellent listener, offers good feedback… and overall a warm, nonjudgmental person.
