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.

Marcia understands my main goal and is committed to helping me get there. But she also understands life happens and is always willing to pause the plan to address what’s going on in that moment. This has really allowed me to connect the dots of my life back to the original goal and apply things I’ve been learning to my daily life. I see myself getting better and healthier each day. I am able to put up boundaries and protect my truth in a way that has allowed me to live the life I want instead of what others want for me. Healing is hard work, but Marcia listens, explains, offers insight and encourages me to put myself out there so I can live my best life.

Marcia is amazing. Honestly I came to better help when I was I'm in a bit of a crisis and I couldn't find a therapist here in Los Angeles. When I got set up with Macia I can tell that I was going to like her energy. As time has gone by and she's gotten to know me and I've gotten to know her we have really gotten into some good solid stuff that I've been wanting to work on and have not found myself able to with other therapist or on my own. Marcia listens to me and understands me as well as she shows and educate me about things I didn't know. We talk about events in my past events that are currently happening and I feel safe, secure and heard with Marcia. There are some things that I'm a little reluctant to get into or do you want to try I'm too her credit Marcia has found a way to be patient with me and allow things to unfold in a way that has shown me a great deal about myself and I find myself more willing to try things that in the past I really didn't want to try. I never feel that she says I told you so and I feel a definite bond which I think is important for me with my therapist and something I've never had with any others. I look forward to our sessions and I'm just so grateful that I found Marcia through better help.
