Very great therapy sessions

Reviewed December 2024

II appreciate that therapy can take time and Pius has been patient with me as we navigate the complexities of my life. We’ve met for four sessions now, and he acknowledges that I am unsure if online therapy is good fit for me, but that I also don’t want to quit. That I promised myself I would give therapy a real shot and that is what we aim to do in my sessions. Each session has gotten better than the previous session.

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.
