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.

- 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.

She listens and gives actionable advice
Listens and is compassionate about my current insane situation.
Shannon is a very gentle and understanding, compassionate therapist. She's very non-judgemental and is a great listener and also offers up good solutions.
I recommend Betterhelp and Ms. Flaherty Gibbons for therapy. It has been very helpful to just have another person to help during stressful times especially when negative thoughts get into the thinking. I have realized you dont have to do it alone:) Thank you!
