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.

A blessing
Theodore has been an amazing therapist and I love his work ethic, I’ve seen such amazing progress when it came to working with him through my addictions.
Ted is excellent. He is kind, he has a great sense of humor, and he projects genuine interest in helping me as a patient. I would recommend him to anyone with any type of anxiety who needs help.
Listens intently, Logical Thought forms and solutions Would recommend 100 times more
After 2 sessions with Ted I am very pleased to say I find it easy to be able to communicate my thoughts and he listens and offers me some guidance on how to deal with my feelings in a positive manner.
After my mom died I needed to be with people who understood what I was going through and to be in a safe space where I could talk about it. Theodore Liswith provided that. Thank you for being such a fantastic and understanding person.
Genuinely concerned with my wellbeing
Great man. I feel like he gets and understands me. Makes me feel valued and validated. Makes me feel seen and heard. I appreciate our sessions. Would recommend him.
He is exceptional
Theodore is the most comfortable stranger I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking with. He makes me feel heard, validated, and respected. He is very knowledgeable about a lot of different areas and i genuinely feel like he cares about me.
Theodore is a man who listens to what ails you and helps you with that ailment. In every session he will ask you what it is you want today's session to be about today. He allows the patient (for lack of a better word) to take the reigns of the session to help them focus on what we want to change.
Ted is a very caring person,he makes me feel heard and valid.
