About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.

Donesha is amazing. She listens well and provides great insight to help me navigate through my thoughts.
Donesha did a great job at listening to my concerns and guiding me to the right solutions to work through them.
I have only met with Donesha twice so far (I’ve only been on the app for two weeks), but I already look forward to our conversations. She has a way of making me feel comfortable and optimistic, and she finds a way to find the one or two primary threads underlying a conversation, bringing them together, and reframing them in a way that not only makes sense, but that accentuates the positive perspective of what I had seen as a negative, particularly when it comes to attitudes I have and stories I’ve been telling myself about myself, if that makes any sense. I leave each session feeling more hopeful and more productive, looking toward the future vs ruminating on the past. I am so grateful for her.
Donesha is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She has been consistent in helping me manage my time effectively to eliminate some of my stress and anxiety. I am very grateful for her and she continues to support and help me with my hardships in life.
Donesha has provided me with a variety of helpful tools and perspectives to help me be comfortable with opening up and overcoming my deeply rooted fears from childhood. She is a respectable professional therapist who has significantly helped me grow over the course of two sessions.
Donesha is easy to talk to and I always appreciate her insight.
This is excellent for people with a busy/ active lifestyle. It helps support different means of communication as well as being helpful for those who work nights, like myself.
Donesha allows me the freedom to unpack completely in our sessions. She’s a joy to open up with. Her sessions are empowering, and it shows that she cares and wants the best for her patient.
she is wonderful
Donesha is timely and understanding and is a very good listener. She provides guidance or advice in a way that doesn't impede on my own thoughts and feelings. She is professional and well-spoken.
