- LMHC
I am licensed in the State of Florida with 24 years of professional work experience. I believe that you are the main character, and expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. However, within that story we may benefit from the eyes of a non-involved reviewer. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! As the poet Robert wrote: "Two roads diverged in a woo and I, I took the one less travelled by, that has made all the difference." Let's start your journey.

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.
