About online counseling
- Affordable.

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.

Great Therapist
The best
It has been three sessions, and I feel excited, comfort, and optimistic to look forward to our session. It brightens and lightens up my week with something personal to look forward to.
Joe is thoughtful, experienced knowldgeable and buids new sessions from previous session experiences. Very easy to get to know and work with. Very helpful.
Seems to be able to connect as a genuine human being that makes it much easier to open up to. His questions are intentional and his resources and work he asks to be done are effective when put to use. Solid guy
I think that Joseph is a good therapist. I think that he shows a lot of character when he is speaking with me.
Joseph Siegel listens with care and empathy. He has given me tools to help my healing journey
He really listens and adapts how he interacts with you based off what he learns from you . He's relatable and makes you feel heard and comforted from the way he listens and proves he's listening TO WHO YOU ARE not just your problems .
He responds fast and follows up on me.
Joseph is easily the best psychologist I have ever worked with. He makes me feel hopeful again.
