I’ve only been working with Dan a few weeks, but I appreciate his insight, professionalism and accountability. I went into this wanting someone to push me and I feel I am gently getting that, which is what I need. I love the message check ins between sessions. Highly recommend!!!

Dan has been a big help in just a few short sessions. Very relatable. Whether I feel the need to talk for an hour or 5 minutes he’s there and his input has been valuable to me.

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.
