Michael Rooney is great. These constant requests to write something from the website are highly annoying.

Reviewed July 2022

Michael brings many years of therapy experience to his clients and I have felt very listened to and supported by him. More so than any other therapist I have seen, Michael balances listening and reflecting my thoughts and feelings with providing advice and strategies depending on what I am going through and what we are working on. I value his perspective and it makes my internal and external life better.

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.
