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.

Jessica and I have only met a couple of times so we do not know each other that well. So far she has been helpful in steering my thoughts in more productive directions. I specifically asked for someone comfortable with therapy regarding transgender topics, and Jessica is perfect in that area, since her work with me is uncluttered by social judgement and she can get directly to the heart of my stuck places from a human standpoint, rather than any specific kind of human.
I am so glad I met Jessica, I know we are going to do some incredible work together!!!
Jessica comes at our discussions with compassion and nonjudgement, but offers valuable observations and insights. She listens well and asks thoughtful and productive questions to probe into tough topics.
