I'm grateful for the support of Christina through Faithful Counseling. She is encouraging and she has kept me accountable for the goals that I sent in earlier sessions. Being able to use this service has helped me get through a dark period in my life. I still have work to do on myself, however, I have a new appreciation for life and I know I am created for a purpose.

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.

Christina is amazing.
She makes me feel calm and she checks in with me and I love how open I can be with her!
She is great and responds quickly. Doesn’t let me forget about my goals and reminds me to check in when I’m busy.
Christina is amazing! I’m waiting for her responds like a little kid, checking my emails 100 times a day. I’m so excited when I see her messages! She is very helpful and asks a lot of questions and helps me face things I would just hold in myself to avoid conflict. She helps me endure.
Christina is wonderful. So patient with me and so engaged. From almost the first day she listened and NAILED what I was seeking help for and has approached it with a clear plan that I can easily work with. She's the best! I am so lucky to be working with her!
Christina is not at all patronizing or assertive as some medical professionals tend to be. She deals with the issues that lead people to seek counseling and genuinely helps them to set and achieve goals to improve the quality of their life and well being. In short, she does her job without leaving the client feeling like just another paycheck. Her counsel is truly helpful and her manner professional.
So far she seems like a caring person, and she’s brought some things to my attention that I didn’t notice about myself. I’m working on myself in a new light now feeling way more confident.
