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.

Ms Dannetta is the perfect therapist for me. She is super sweet, caring and understanding towards me. She makes sure that I’m doing okay even when I don’t expect it. She holds me accountable and just wants the best for me and I can see that. I’ll forever be grateful to have met a great therapist like her. We need more people in the world like her.
Dannetta's energy was very warm and inviting. Our first session was amazing even through I was not in a great head space. I felt heard, safe and understood .
Dannetta listen to me and helps me figure out what I can do to better my situation at the moment. I am much better mentally and emotionally since I have weekly therapy sessions with Dannetta.
