About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Laura is incredible, thoughtful, a great listener and is empathetic. She has such a calming spirit and talking to her about what bothered me took the power away from my problems. The same problems that consumed my inner thoughts a couple of weeks ago doesn’t have as much hold on me these days. Thanks for being there, Laura and for helping me refocus my energy towards something I care about and what makes me happy.
Laura really listens to what I have to say and checks in on me, updating me on what we will be discussing prior to our session which I greatly appreciate. She is flexible, attentive, accommodating, and compassionate.
