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.

Amazing in every single way!
Couldn’t ask for a better therapist!!
Katherine has been very helpful to me. She has been consistently nonjudgmental and gave me the space I needed to work through my divorce.
Katherine Ward is an excellent therapist! I always come away feeling like I was heard and understood. She gives me ideas for ways to work out concerns between sessions, but lets me know she's just a message away in case I need something. She's upbeat and positive! I'm glad she was chosen for me.
Katherine and I have been seeing each other for over a year now and I look forward to every session. She always has a smile on her face and is always incredibly helpful. She has a great sense of humor and is very compassionate. She helped me bring so much peace into my life and helped me find trust. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist!!
Insightful, sharp, empathetic and real. In the weeks that I have been working with Katherine I have started to unravel some of the bonds that have tethered me for decades. Thank you Katherine!
Katherine is wonderful.
I recommend this app to everyone. Mainly due to my therapist being so wonderful. And the ease of use. She responds quickly and has listened and addressed everything with me. She has even spent extra time with me when available to work out issues.
Katherine helped me through a very difficult time, listened attentively & was proactive in offering a way forward.
Honestly, one of the best therapist I’ve ever had not only on here, but in real life as well. She listens and understands problems and offers great feedback or solutions to the things I have to say. Helps me think outside of what I would normally think.
Katherine is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. She has been fantastic so far in helping me realize things about myself and providing me with the help and information I need.
My first and forever therapist! Full of ideas and attention to detail. Has helped me grow and develop so much as a person!
She's amazing. I look forward to each session and she had tremendously helped me. I highly recommend her!
katherine is just plain phenomenal - i am so grateful to be working with her. in fact, for completely selfish reasons, i'm not sure i want ppl to know just HOW awesome she is, bc i don't want to have to share her! ; )
Katherine is an absolute life saver!!!! SUPER down to earth and actually cares about what you’re feeling…can even describe what you’re feeling when you can’t!! HIGHLY recommend her!!!!
I was very skeptical of therapy at first and had a hard time opening up! But Katherine made it extremely easy to connect within the first 2 sessions with her bubbly personality, attention to detail, and kindness. She is very easy to get along with and offers a fountain of knowledge. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist/friend!
Being my first time experiencing therapy of any kind, it was a relief to have a therapist that met and understood the needs I had. She’s always been supportive and positive about everything while telling everything you need to hear and not just what you want to hear. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for therapy.
From the first session, Katherine has been so accepting and welcoming of my needs. I have not had much success with previous therapists, and Katherine has given me the trust and confidence to try therapy again.
Katherine Ward helps me through difficulties without being judgmental and is never pushy. I feel like I can talk to her about sensitive issues openly. She has good insight and helps me decompress things that I’ve kept bottled up.
She’s great so far
She has gone above and beyond since day 1. She doesn’t judge me, nor do I feel like I have to hold things back.
