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.

After my second session I can say that she is a wonderful therapist that gives you the space you need to find yourself.

Reviewed September 2024

Carly is a careful listener. She is very intuitive and is able to point to the underlying issues of what is being expressed. Her style is very open minded and relaxed, she is non-judgmental and makes the most of every minute in the session. In my sessions I’m looking for a place to speak and be heard, for confession and exploration of challenging subjects. Carly is able to facilitate this to meet my personal requirements.

This is my first time having therapy and I am glad to have met Carly. She listens to me, guides me and never judges me. I am truly grateful to have Carly as my therapist.
