About online counseling

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.

She is an awesome therapist. She validates me and makes me feel 1000 times better.
I feel that Jaleesa is a perfect match for me. She has done an excellent job of creating trust, which is difficult for me. She has a warm attitude, is knowledgeable about current practices, and always discusses my progress. I have learned some new techniques and am learning how to be in control of my own emotions.
Jaleesa was very sweet, fantastic at listening, and she had a bunch of anecdotes to help with explaining methods of getting better!
My experience with Jaleesa so far has been pleasant. I have a therapist who listens and makes sense of my emotions/ thoughts. For a first time experience, I think I’ve gotten lucky.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jaleesa McMillan. When I first met Jaleesa, I was transitioning service providers and experiencing pandemic and work-related stress. Jaleesa was very kind and affirming. Where I struggled to honor my feelings, Jaleesa reminded me of the importance of giving oneself grace and care. I'm forever grateful and forever changed!
Jaleesa has such a beautiful soul and with just the first few weeks of sessions i was already feeling more confident in myself and using the multiple coping skills she provided!
Jaleesa is awesome she's understanding and listens very well. Thanks.
She is amazing!
Jaleesa listens really well and understands my needs. In fact, my first session with her was better in all the ways than my sessions with previous therapists (outside of BetterHelp) COMBINED.
Excellent experience. Has been very helpful in my healing process .
Good therapist
Jeleese is very relatable and easy to talk to.
I feel lighter after talking to to Jaleesa. So great!
So far, I’ve had 3 sessions with Jaleesa. Each week, she’s helped me knock down barriers that have been the root of my unhappiness. Our conversations flow naturally and allow me to open up about things I’d never let myself admit. I’m thankful to have her.
Amazing therapist
