We have only had 3 sessions so far, so it is hard to fully evaluate at time. However, she has been very supportive, understanding, offers suggestions, and is now taking notes and planning for things to discuss next session. I have been happy so far, and looking to continue to work with her.

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.
