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

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.

Thank you for doing such a great job working with me
She is very understanding of issues faced by people in executive roles or what most consider high level positions.
Very happy with this format and being able to talk to such a wonderful professional that is very understandable.
Great all-around love the experience so far and has helped me a lot
Ms. Barnes is wonderful and very knowledgeable. She sends me messages just to check on me and it always seems to be right when I need it.
Charlar is exactly what i needed as a therapist. She’s understanding and helps me when im not in the greatest mindset, and she really listens to everything i have to say and has feedback on everything. Shes fair and reasonable.
Charlar is the best!
Attentive, smart, patient, and focused--she rocks.
Patient, understanding, respectful, compassionate.
Charlar listened, asked great questions and really help me resolve my reason for connecting with a therapist.
She is easy to talk to and provides great tools to help outside of the therapy sessions. It’s the homework that she gives to aid you in the right direction! She is straightforward while giving new perspectives to tackle challenges.
I could not have found a more understanding therapist. I get so much more than I ever thought I would out of our sessions.
Very kind and beautiful listener. Very effective and direct simple advice. Thank you
