More about Sasha

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have been working as a social worker/counselor for more than 12 years. I love being able to help people – by being a nonjudgmental and supportive listener, a kind professional for someone who is having a rough day. I have been so inspired by my clients over the years who have set and achieved their goals, overcoming trauma and other difficult situations. I have experience utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy techniques, and motivational interviewing. Considering therapy, taking the step to sign up are all great, positive steps; I’m proud of you for taking time for yourself/taking care of yourself!

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.
