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.

Joseph is one of the most effective therapists I’ve worked with. We’ve only had live messaging sessions and I still feel more heard and have gained more tools than in any previous therapy experience. He is insightful, down to earth, and non judgmental. He uses humor in ways that make me feel more comfortable. Joseph is skilled at taking what feels like a huge and complex issue and distilling it down to the root of the problem that needs to be addressed. I’m very grateful for his support.

Joseph is a very capable therapist and overall a really great guy. He always makes sure to ask how're you feeling a d helps you analyze both your day to day emotions as well as your overall mood. Joseph clearly has a lot of experience in the field, sends very helpful concepts and technique to help deal with a variety of issues ranging from stress to anxiety to depression and so on. He's never condescending or makes. You feel judged or insecure about yourself which always a huge plus. Talking to Joseph feels like how talking to a therapist should feel like, just an unjudging ear to listen to your issues and offer healthy ways to understand them or deal with them. I feel like I lucked out with him and he's a great choice for anyone dealing with anxiety or stress or just feeling like life is a bit too much sometimes.

Therapy with Joseph Setchel has been great. He is extremely easy to talk to. I have not felt uncomfortable with any of the subjects we have discussed and he has helped me deal with things through mindfulness. His approach has also allowed me to come to some conclusions or epiphanies on my own. He kind of guides you there. I believe that I am growing in the direction I wanted to because he does not simply point out what he wants you to realize. I have to work to arrive there, with his guidance, and then I can benefit. I was apprehensive about therapy at first but I believe having the opportunity to find the right therapist has changed my mind.

Joseph is a very skilled professional LMHC. During a difficult time in my life, I began working with Joseph. He always quickly responds, reminds me to journal, checks in, and provides me with positive quotes. I selected Joseph based on his philosophy and couldn't be happier with my selection. I've tried therapy four times previously but did not enjoy the experience until now. Joseph is patient, kind, caring, and keeps me on track. I can't thank Joseph enough for his help, he's been a great foundation in a difficult time.
