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.

Ann is exactly the therapist I need.
It’s still early in working with Ann but so far, she’s exactly what I need. I’m sure she adapts her techniques and style to the person she is speaking to but I need someone to hold the mirror and level with me and she is able to do that. She also shares a similar background that really resonates with my story so I know that there is that life experience backing the therapeutic technique and I feel that I can really trust her insight and suggestions.
Ann takes the time to understand who I am and my concerns. She also makes me feel supported on my mental wellness journey.
