Laura & I were paired together & God sure knew what He was doing. It was comforting to visit with someone like-minded in our faith and it made for a more effective session. The practical tips she gave me will enhance my journey and I am grateful for Laura’s advice and suggestions for when ‘life’ has overwhelming moments.

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.
