I've been working with Maria for a while now and she has been able to help me work through a lot of trauma, some of which I didn't even know I had until I had a mental breakdown about it in one of our sessions. She's been so supportive of me and my health and my struggles and encourages me to be better and set reachable goals. If I have a bad day or a really rough night, she is there and let's me talk it through. She will suggest different ways of handling my anxiety but she never tells me I should do anything. She lets me come to those conclusions on my own. She is compassionate, kind, and a great listener. I get that that is what a therapist needs to be, but with Maria, it's easy to talk to her because of it.

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.
