I am incredibly grateful that I have Claire as my therapist. Connecting with her has truly been one of the best experiences of my life, and I'm thankful for the impact she has had on me this year. Claire has taught me so much about myself and has helped me become more self-aware, guiding me on my journey toward becoming a better version of myself. Although it has been a challenging path, I am proud of how much I've grown already. Claire's kindness, support, resourcefulness, and respect make her stand out as the best therapist I have ever had. I always felt safe sharing my feelings and traumas with her because she doesn't judge. She provided me with the guidance I needed to understand myself better and learn how to soothe my emotional struggles. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough!!

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.

My time having sessions with Claire has been absolutely invaluable to me. She has helped me navigate through some challenging aspects of my life, both within myself and with the people around me. Claire strikes a fantastic balance between a considerate listener and a motivating advisor, and I have always felt comfortable in our sessions together. I have always come away from them with a new resource or technique that has helped me with what I am struggling with. I had never been to therapy before my sessions with Claire and she made me feel very comfortable from the start. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough, she is fantastic!

Reviewed May 2024

Having never had any therapy sessions before now, I didn’t know what to expect and felt quite nervous. But this very quickly went away with Claire and she made me feel comfortable. She does a really balanced amount of listening vs giving advice and I feel like this works really well for me.

When you discover a therapist you 'click' with, it makes the process way easier. I've found Claire to be supportive and encouraging but isn't afraid to tackle issues and give guidance where it's needed. She's highly skilled, personable and makes the sessions enjoyable and never daunting.
