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.

Dr. Fitzgerald is clearly an experienced professional, with expertise on a wide range of issues. I feel she is attentive to my concerns, and tailors our approach to solutions based on what I connect with better.
Alice is very patient and is great at balancing listening and offering suggestions. She is one of the most validating therapists I’ve ever had and that’s very important to me.
It took me several tries to find the right therapist, but finding Dr. Fitzgerald was worth the effort. She is the right blend of empathy and no nonsense that makes me feel validated while also keeping me moving forward on my journey. She’s an amazing therapist!!!
Dr. Alice has helped me find the tools to make me become a stronger person
Alice is great. She listens and remembers what is important to me. She has my best interest in mind even when I myself seem to get distracted away from what I know matters most to me.
She is caring and understanding, very knowledgeable
Dr. F is a pleasure to speak to, she gives me insightful advice with my well being as her primary concern.
She's the bomb. Couldn't ask for a better therapist. I got really lucky with Dr. Fitzgerald. Thank you!!!
I feel so fortunate to have finally connected with this counselor. Smart, supportive, intuitive - she makes me feel more hopeful than I have in years.
Dr. Alice really provides logical, empathetic, and real advice and tools to help. She takes time to listen, understand, and get to know you. One who shows a different pov to aid the process of healing and moving forward. Thank You!
I have only worked with Dr. Fitzgerald for a few sessions, but she is very empathic and really tires to see you point of view. She firmly but kindly guides you towards more positive approaches when you mention your own negative behaviours, which makes you feel safe enough to disclose darker and uglier things you may need to get off your chest/ receive guidance for. Overall, you can tell she wants to help you, and she can.
Dr. Fitzgerald is attentive and kind. She listens carefully while providing practical advice on better habits. I really appreciate meeting her and having her as my therapist.
Very attentive and asks great questions! Very respectful and supportive.
Amazing!
Dr. Fitzgerald was timely and consummate in her advice and listening ear... it was a thrill to be able to electronically unload with an obvious professional on the other end of the technological engagement to seek help.. what a kind person, too - Thank you, Alice!
I've been working with Dr. Fitzgerald for only a few weeks, but I already am impressed by her compassionate professionalism. It's been a dark time, but she is helping me to reframe my ideas in a way that is supportive and non-judgmental. I am very pleased that I was matched with her.
