Michael Booth was very helpful during our sessions. He was receptive and guided a path for me on many improvements I could take. After a few sessions over a couple weeks I stated to improve in my mood and outlook. Comfortable communication, I felt like we were on the same wavelength.

Recent reviews
Michael has helped me out tremendously. He has taken time to figure out my situation, then offered advice and practical feedback, which I can put into action. All of which is based on that situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and understands, as well as respects, my beliefs and practices. Even to the point of tying in those beliefs with his advice. I am grateful for the work that he has done. As well as his ability to help me make sense of where I am and how to get where I want to be.

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.
