I have had two meetings with Samantha Garcia. I feel that she listened to me closely. While I did talk some about my past and my upbringing, she understood that I am mostly focused on the future and big changes in my life. She has helped my explore my decisions while encouraging me to live in the present and do things that bring me joy. I appreciate her feedback and encouragement.

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.
