My therapist has been very receptive to my concerns and the things I want to work on. She gives good input, asks constructive questions and broadens my understanding of the subjects we discuss. I’m very pleased with how the first two sessions have gone

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.
