About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Lidia is very understanding and kind and has really created a warm and inviting space where I can open up.
Lidia is lovely! She immediately created trust with me. She is kind, empathetic and supportive! So happy to have connected with her!
I have been in therapy off-and-on since I was in my teens. I'm now in my 50s, and I'm happy to share that Lidia is one of the best therapists I've had in all that time. She really listens, takes notes and asks me if there's something that I want to work on before making her recommendations about what to work on. If I'm having a stressful week and just want to talk it through it with her in order to survive it, she's happy to help me get through each day if that's what I need. We've had about 8 sessions now and Lidia has been extremely helpful.
Only two sessions so far, but I have been very pleased with Lidia.
I’m enjoying therapy and find Linda very helpful
She not only listens and respects me but also encourages and voices how proud she is.
She is a wonderful therapist. I am getting real feedback, and help.
Lidia has an uncanny ability to connect even when ties are severed. An ability very few can achieve.
She is very kind and easy to talk to, super knowledgeable and good energy
Lidia is kind and fun. She brings a light-hearted approach to therapy that is welcome. You will find a wealth of experience and a kind heart in your time with her, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you, Lidia, for your services and support!
She listens to me and I feel like I always have someone to talk to about my issues without being judged.
