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.

Overall rating:
She helps me with good questions and supportive advice, I appreciate Makeda's ability to listen and respond.
I value the new takes she provides on what is troubling me. Reframing leads to better understanding.
I value Makeda's patience and ability to say things that put me back on an even keel, and to look at things from another angle. This has helped me to look for and find answers where I didn't before.
She is absolute best. I don't think I could have found a Better therapist for myself ! I really appreciate all the help she has given me with life!!
She is an excellent therapist; she was there to provide a deeper level of comfort and understanding in the situation I was in; while offering concrete solutions to relieve stress and proceed forward with set boundaries and the intent of bettering myself each day. Awesome work.
Makeda is a very professional and caring therapist. I am grateful to have followed all these sessions with her, from which she always proved to be of great help with great impacts in my life.
Makeda very gently helps me to see things I haven't been aware of but which broaden my understanding of why people do what they do. It's not always as simple as it seems, and is rarely directed at you in particular. This helps me.
I have just started working with Makeda and she has been great! I love that she gives me work to do in between its very helpful for where I am on my current journey of transition! I appreciate that she is honest and doesn’t sugar coat things! Very easy to talk to!
I highly recommend Makeda to anyone struggling with achieving their goals and mental health. She is both a great listener and motivator.
I love her! Would love to video chat!
Makeda listens well and is good at helping me sort out what I am saying.
She’s the best! I feel very comfortable talking to her and she makes me feel better after our sessions. I wish I can talk to her everyday during this tragic moment in my life
I really enjoy working with Makeda! She listens to me and supports me. I would recommend her to any one of my friends!
Makeda provides a no-judgemental zone and a safe place. I feel listened too, taken care of and like a priority to her.
Maked Kahlein has helped me so much. I had some trauma that I have been holding on to for a long time. She has helped me heal and grow
Makeda is amazing at what she does. She helped me so much with the isues I had. She is lovely and sweet and I would definitely recommend her.
She's perfect for listening, and giving insight. She understands and always gives the best feedback for what we're discussing and its very nice. Nothing but respect and not but graritude for what she does
Makeda gets right to the heart of the matter. She's very assertive and has a wisdom that you don't see with most therapists, and I've had many in my life.
Makeda give me the time to explore my own views about feelings and responses I tend to ramble on unprompted until I`m put back on track - it`s a great help.
She listens to my needs and responds in an appropriate time frame. She makes me feel like I'm her main focus when talking to her.
Makeda is excellent. She’s thoughtful, caring and really listens! She comes up with ideas outside of sessions to help and I feel very comfortable talking and sharing with her.
