Joanne is fantastic. She is kind hearted, brilliant, great listener, and really leans into giving feedback on what you need. She is very casual in her approach but it makes the conversation easier in my opinion. I’d highly recommend Joanne!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
