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.

Been working with Mike for a little bit now and have nothing but positives to say! Every time we talk he’s very patient and listens to you closely so he can understand exactly what you’re trying to convey. When we talk about how to overcome an issue the solutions are always practical and useful, they’re also a result of me and him talking it over to find the best solution rather than just choose the best “one size fits all” strategy. He’s very easy to talk to and it’s obvious that he genuinely cares for me and what’s going on in my life, frequently checking in to see how things are going. Over all I’ve really genuinely enjoyed working with mike so far and highly recommend going with him.
