About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Easy to talk to.
A man that listens and help the person to see a new horizon
He's great... always calm and understanding.. and comes with a lot of experience!!
Very intelligent, thoughtful and very helpful person!! No matter how I'm feeling, he gives me lots of new ideas and ways to approach life! The overall experience and knowledge he comes with on different aspects of his life are a big advantage to guiding me on where I can take my life. I appreciate all the tips, tools and tactics I've gained through my therapist!
Michael is very straight forward and honest, which is very much appreciated, and will always let you talk. He will give you a good tool set to work with and he has helped me go forward. He is awesome
Mike is a great guy! Very understanding and is willing to find solutions no matter what you have going on. He is always positive.
Michael makes you feel accountable for doing the real work throughout the week before the therapy session begins. He’s more like a coach with helping you set and achieve practical goals.
He is humble and caring
I've been typing for a while lol but Mike has been great thus far, I appreciate the instruction and guidance I've been provided with so far. I like this style of therapy because it's the way I enjoy learning and growing, with the ability to work on what I need to from someone else's point of view not just what I think is wrong or is instructed by doctors what I should do. Let's me give myself the kick in the butt I want also
Great
As someone who is new to therapy, Mike is very welcoming
Listens carefully and responds in a professional manner.
My first session with Michael was very telling. I could hear his experience with the way he worked a question and sub questions and how he was able to draw conclusions without me saying them. As a busy mom of young children, a household and work, I truly appreciate not having to spell out every detail of every situation. Michael is comfortable knowing when to jump in with an assumption of what happened next and when to step back and let me talk.
