It was my first time doing something like this. I was very nervous but she made me feel comfortable really quickly and she responds in a very timely manner. She’s very respectful and doesn’t judge you on what you tell her. So I’m grateful she’s helping me on this journey we all want to do better in.

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.
