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.

She is very open and honest. She mirrors the information that you tell her back to you in a way that makes you want to explore and really trust the process of working through your past traumas, grief, etc... She listens to you, and gives positive feedback.
From my experiences with Valerie, I noticed that she does everything she can to understand one’s point of view without placing her judgment/bias on a situation. She consistently shows genuine care, empathy, and compassion. She will ask questions to guide one on a path of discovering solutions to addressed problems. She is very encouraging and optimistic! I highly recommend her as a therapist.
