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.

Helpful
Sharing listens and helps me talk through frustrations. She offers coping skills and responds to me in a timely manner.
Even though Shirin and I have only had a few sessions, I already feel that she has been a great help. She’s always respectful and immersive in all of our conversations during our sessions but even outside our sessions she follows up with me and reminds that she’s there if I need someone to talk to. Sending me worksheets and questioners that I complete on my own time in between our session; I’ve noticed has also helped the both of us get a clearer idea of my priorities and it helps us find topics to talk about during our sessions!
