She listens with no judgment and with an open heart. One time I cried after a session because I didn't expect to be so understood. The worksheets she gives me are also so insightful and helpful--really helps mitigate issues I encounter in my day-to-day.

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.
