Dr Niolai has been very helpful during the few months we've worked on my problem areas. The balance of suggestions and online worksheets/homework has been ideal. As they say on Ebay, "Highly recommended!"

Hi! I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Arizona providing counseling to adults of all ages.
I am a straightforward and honest psychologist who prioritizes creating a comfortable and open environment for my patients. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, focusing on helping you explore different perspectives while encouraging honesty with yourself and with me.
I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in meaningful dialogue and are open to seeing things from various angles. Together, we can develop strategies that will help you navigate life's challenges and enhance your overall well-being.
On a personal note, I am a mom of two young children, a wife, and a devoted dog owner. I enjoy spending time gardening, being outdoors, and indulging in a good nap when I can. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to mental wellness.

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.
