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.

Vanesia makes me feel very comfortable and I feel like I can be my open self
Vanesia is fantastic. Highly recommend!
Vanesia has been so very kind. Although this may seem not to be the most important quality or expertise needed from a therapist, it was so important to me after having such a traumatic 48 day experience while my husband was hospitalized until his death. Shockingly, kindness and compassion were often lacking which made a terrible experience an absolute nightmare. The kindness and empathy shown by Vanesia has helped make a start to healing that experience so which will allow me to process my grief.
Vanesia speaks to you with professionalism, dignity and respect, and has a great understanding of how to make people comfortable talking about hard things. I would absolutely recommend Vanesia, after speaking with her life feels so much more clear.
Venesia is very different from any therapist I’ve had in the past. She’s very relatable and comes up with creative solutions. If you’re looking for a relaxed vibe with a result-oriented therapist, she is the perfect choice.
Vanesia is a great listener and had a lot of great insights about my situation. I appreciate how she always follows up with me on issues we discussed in previous sessions. She's very thoughtful, kind and a joy to talk to!
Vanesia is so charismatic and compassionate. I felt heard and she was able to address my concerns in a personalized fashion. I couldn’t have done my healing journey without her!
Great listener, and definitely made me feel safe.
This was my first session of any form of therapy and Vanesia was very professional and authentic, she made me feel comfortable speaking with her and opening up. She even helped me understand my own thoughts better and her recap and goal setting was very thorough and well communicated. Vanesia is someone I really enjoyed speaking with and I highly recommend.
Vanesia Johnson has been a very beautiful helping hand in my life for the time being. When I return to the app I know I will return to talk with her. I’ve never had such a caring and supportive relationship with a therapist such as her.
We are still getting to know one another but I feel valued and respected and seen. <3
She’s amazing, can really grasp my complexity and is helping me to see problem points.
