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.

Winifred has really helped me to dissect what I’ve been experiencing and provided tools for understanding, acceptance and learning.

I like how Winnie is thinking differently about therapy and doesn't default to the dogma in this field. It’s important that patients hold themselves accountable and take action with the guidance of their therapist.

Reviewed June 2024

If you want real and highly perceptive, look no further.. Winifred is unlike anyone I've spoken to as a therapist. Most therapists will sit back and basically just listen and offer little to no input trying to help you get to a conclusion.. that is just not my taste.. I like solutions.. answers.. understanding.. and she provides all that and more with such a compassionate, devoted and personal outlook.. She even provides examples in her own life.. and I just love that. She is a kind-hearted, tell it like it is, courageous woman who clearly has gone through a lot in her life and has brought wisdom to the table along with her knowledge clinically. She was made for therapy.. with her understanding and seeing into a problem with such clarity Winifred if for you if you like the truth, no sugar coating.. and real true direction on where to take things.

She is amazing, I’m not going to lie I just started therapy so I haven’t had that many appointments and I’ve been busy so I really haven’t had that many appointments.. but she’s an amazing person to talk to and really helps you work through everything.
