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.

Jen always asks very thought provoking questions and brings me back to my most important life priorities (my family) she is never pushy or probes but because of that it makes talking to her easy. We are working right now on how I can measure progress - that is the most difficult part is to see the benefit and keep pushing forward

Jennifer is excellent! She makes me feel comfortable and takes the sincere time to listen. She offers extremely helpful advice.

Reviewed March 2021

Jennifer Plesz has been counseling me for a few months now and in the first two visits she offered me more clarity and insight regarding my struggles than my last counselor did in a year! She is easy to talk to, keeps the conversation moving when needed, and asks good questions to get you thinking and “untangling” your issue. She is very good at staying focused on YOU! ...I add that last part for anyone, like me, who has had a counselor talk too much about themselves. You won’t get that from Jennifer.
