Blythe has been great. She’s easy to talk to and I opened up to her about things that I thought I would never mention to her about. I’m enjoying my time with her.

I have been in therapy before which was at times gut wrenching! Blythe helps me to be in control of my emotions and outcomes! I feel much better after talking to her! She just doesn’t demonize my actions or pass judgment! I have enough others willing to do that!

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.

Reviewed July 2024

Blythe is a wonderful listener and very in tune with me. She has helped me work through a lot. I have been struggling post divorce with anxiety and depression. Blythe has guided me and provided me with the encouragement and self awareness I need to keep moving forward. She checks in on me at random and it’s always at a time I could use a little encouragement. I feel like she genuinely cares and is invested in my progress.

Reviewed June 2024

For the first time, I feel like I can breathe. I feel validated and worthy of my feelings. I so appreciate the seemingly bottomless source of empathy Blythe has. I appreciate the homework she gives, the questions she asks, and the kindness she shows.

Reviewed June 2024

I think Blythe is amazing in so many ways.. I immediately felt comfortable freely talking with her. During our first meeting she told me that I could message her any time in between sessions and she’d respond, and she’s a woman of her word. She’s incredibly thoughtful, and intentional when she responds to journal entries, worksheets or just general messages I’ve sent her. I am thankful for the opportunity to work through trauma with her & im looking forward to continued growth. Highly recommend her to anyone going through any of life’s challenges and feeling like they need someone in their corner.

Blythe is an intuitive and knowledgeable listener. She has helped me to self reflect and identify some resources and clarify some feelings. I have appreciated her input.

Blythe is in my corner and striving to understand the root of my anxiety and to provide me tools to work through things. She is incredibly responsive and that means a lot having someone there to talk to at any time, whether in a formal video counseling session or in the chat.
