About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Ms. Rayner is an absolute sweet-heart. Professional but doesnt make you feel small in any way, very down to Earth and feels like you are simply keeping accountability with a friend. Thank you for being such a joyful person and providing me tools to get through this rough patch, I don't want to ever be in the same position, but if I do I will certainly feel better equipped. I put off seeing a therapist for the bad rap it has been given, but this was completely the opposite. I felt encouraged, loved, and that I was given attainable goals and very practical steps to walk through this time! Thank you, you are a blessing Ms. Rayner!

For a while I doubted therapy. I wanted to believe in it. It wasn’t until I came upon my current therapist Catovia Rayner. She has helped my growth. Bring the therapy sessions advice to into my daily tasks. I feel challenged, I feel myself growing. I’m grateful I hope that everyone finds an amazing therapist like this.

Catovia is amazing. She is extremely warm, kind and empathetic. She is probably the best listener I've ever had the pleasure of meeting but also balances that so well with an ability to ask very thoughtful follow-up questions, offer new perspectives, challenge my thinking in ways that are positive and beneficial...and so much more! Anybody would be very lucky to have Catovia as their therapist.
