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.

Very Grateful for Lester!
Lester is so relatable!!!
I"ve experienced many therapists in my lifetime. Lester Menke is by far THE BEST! He listens. He understands. He's knowledgeable. He helps. He's definely influencing me to "radically accept" life and make changes to experience a more hopefull life. If everyone could have Lester Menke as their therapist, this would be a far better world!
I feel like we "clicked" right away. And our sessions started right away as opposed to Day 1 being an intake day.
Lester is the first therapist I've talked to that I felt actually wanted to help me get to where I want to be. I'm so blessed to have met him!
Very competent with great advice.
I really appreciate every session I have with Lester! I get so much out of every session of ours! He has very good insight into situations!
It's just a relief to talk to someone like, Lester. He asks the questions I haven't even thought of asking myself. I was really nervous to even get into therapy, but he has helped me through a tough time and has made it easy to work through some things.
