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.

Extremely patient and understanding
Nikita is the best therapist I've ever had. She's professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, wise, and very effective. I've had incredible success with my therapy with her.
I reached out to Nikita during a difficult divorce and I'm so happy that I did. She helped me turn an excrutiating experience into an empowering one. My mindset is very different from when I started therapy. Im truly grateful for Nikita's help.
Provides you a safe space to express your emotions. Shares efficient ways to cope or think about emotionally. Feel seen.
Mrs. Williams is very professional, in the most loving kind way! Listening and letting me get things out first so I can build trust, was very important to me. Coming into therapy for the first time was welcoming because Nikita relaxed my skepticism from day one!
Nikita is very helpful and understanding of my needs. She listens without judgment and provides a different way of thinking of things that I really like.
Nikita was able to offer me a different perspective in my therapeutic journey as a black woman due to my event. I feel this was quite helpful, and helped me reflect on what happened and learned a few new things… that I wouldn’t be able to “just Google”
Nikita is one of the best in her field. She is extremely experienced and offers the most understanding non-judgemental therapy I have ever received. I highly recommend her, I even love the homework she gives. Thanks Nikita!
Responsive and very supportive
Nikita is great! She has such a positive energy and was the first person to actually make me feel understood when it comes to my main anxiety sources. She always takes the time so I feel heard. I can definitely recommend her!
Nikita is awesome. She is so positive and has so a good energy. She listened to me without judgement and provided me with very helpful advice. She gave me a different perspective and very helpful tools.
Nikita is such an amazing therapist. Especially if you appreciate a no nonsense and down to earth approach. I was so happy that I clicked with her right away, because my first match didn't work out so well. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends.
Nikita is amazing! Her calming and positive demeanor makes sharing easy like I'm just talking with a good friend. She offers excellent coping strategies and I genuinely feel heard when I speak with her.
Nikita's positivism is contagious. She asks questions that make you think and realize part of the problem. She gives you actionable advice. Talking to Nikita had helped me to go back to my feet in a very short time.
She's awesome. She gives homework and is focused on helping you improve in the areas you see yourself struggling. When taking the survey I accidentally answered the first question incorrectly. She's absolutely great with timely communication.
Nikita is awesome
Nikita is a great listener and a constructive therapist. She challenges me while still maintaining my comfort zone. She has very helpful techniques and activities that have allowed me to examine myself in ways I've never tried before. I would not have been able to overcome some of my issues without her guidance.
I LOVE NIKITA SHE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. She’s amazing and deserves the world <3
She looks out for me and I really appreciate her as a person, not just my therapist.
So far after my first visit I like my visit with Nikita.
Great listener that made me feel comfortable expressing my mental pain and anguish.
Nikita has helped me navigate through challenging life situations in regards to relationships, family, mental health and bettering myself. She has always reassured me that we cannot control how we feel but we control how we go about it…that is all you need to focus on sometimes in your toughest times. She what’s helped put me back on track with life goals and guided me in regaining confidence.
She’s amazing!!
She's awesome
She is a great listener and provides positive feedback. She is also very supportive.
She is awesome. We love her.
It's my first time experiencing a therapy session and I'm grateful that it's with Nikita. I was easily able to let my guards down, and poured my heart out to her. She's very understanding and insightful. A part of me already feel healed after talking to her.
Wonderful experience so far
I love nikita! i feel like we click and I'm really excited to get into an intensive therapy experience because i feel this is what I need
She’s honestly the best person to talk to she’s really helped me so far !
Nikita has been so amazing right from the beginning! I had gone through therapy before but it had been years since. I was really nervous to start back up again but Nikita has made that transition so amazing. She's truly such a great listener and has great guidance, suggestions and I felt so comfortable opening up.
Nikita has been fantastic to talk to. I often feel alone even when I'm with friends or family because it's hard talking about certain things however I've been able to open up with her and work through some of the stuff I've been experiencing lately. I really appreciate that and I definitely appreciate her honesty and her encouraging words. The process is difficult but it is 100% worth it and I am happy that I have someone to help me navigate through these crazy times.
I have put off therapy for a very long time, and was having trouble finding the right therapist. After our first session, I immediately knew I would want to work with Nikita. She is so kind, understanding, and direct, which I really appreciate. Nikita has really helped me manage my anxiety around work and relationships, and has helped me to overcome a few things which were really holding me back from making emotional progress in my relationships. I’ve seen such a positive change in my confidence, and my ability to be more open to new experiences. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future. Thank you Nikita.
Nikita is an angel. I put off going to a therapist for a long time. Now that I've tried it I highly recommend it and a the main reason I do is because how amazing Nikita has been. She is one of those people you feel like you have known all your life. I am completely comfortable telling her anything. I appreciate everything she has done for me. Highly recommend her.
I’m very grateful to have been matched with Nikita. From the first session she asked many open-ended questions that allowed me to open myself up and share my stories which made me feel instantly comfortable. It helped as she was able to get a feel of my personality, my habits and the anxieties I was experiencing. She is both honest and emphatic, and focuses on future goals. Felt good, calmed and reassured after my sessions with her!
Simply love Nikita and everything she does! I have tried a few therapists and I’m so happy that I have her!!! She has helped me immensely in such a short time and I plan to continue my sessions with her!
Nikita offers me tools that are more dynamic than just talk counseling. I appreciate that when we meet there is time for both current pressing issues and deeper work.
Nikita is great she listens and doesn’t judge. She’s so easy to talk to and she can relate easily to you!!
She is amazing, listen without judging, and understand really well what situations you are going through, since I am seeing her I noticed a lot of progress in how I have been feeling, as she gives me exercises and we go through them in our sessions, I will definitely recommend her.
I trust Nikita's words, wisdom and process and I'm excited to keep working with her.
She has been really great
I have only had a few sessions with Nikita and already I can see significant changes in myself all thanks to her! Nikita is extremely considerate, caring and easy to talk to! I’m so glad I have started therapy with her and I could not recommend her enough!
Nikita Williams is the first therapist were I actually feel like a human instead of just another patient. She is strongly empathetic and has answers and recommendations for any problem. She is great as a counselor, therapist and life coach and everyone needs a therapist like Nikita in their life. Cannot recommend her enough :)
