He is a great guy! I've been in and out of therapy since childhood. Most of them are garbage he is the real deal. He takes the time to feel you out. Then he suggests things to see how you respond. He doesn't impose or pressure you that his way is the right way. He understands that it's a relationship being built. He works with you, because he understands each individual is different and molds his approach accordingly to suit you. So while he may require more sessions. He will get you better results. He should be booked up. I'm so lucky I got him.

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.
