Opal is an amazing therapist, sent from heaven. I went through a rough patch last year and a whole week without sleep. After my GP suggested anti-depressants, I thought I’d give therapy a try instead. After 2 weeks of therapy with Opal, I started feeling much better and 4 weeks later, I had re-discovered my bubbly self. It’s been 4 months now and I prioritise myself and my happiness, I am less anxious, disregard the negativity and do what I love. Thank you Opal, your words, tips and advice are forever with me. Thank you for reminding me who and whose I am. God bless you.

More about Opal
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Opal Minott, LCSW. I have been a therapist for over 30 years. and is currently licensed in Georgia, New York and Florida. I graduated from Fordham University and also have a post masters education from New York University. I have extensive amount of experience working in out-patient psychiatric hospitals, preventive agencies, veterans administration and private practice. I have conducted therapy with all age groups and worked with patients who have exhibited symptoms such as . depression, anxiety, job related issues, grief, midlife crisis, marital issues, ect. Some of the modalities use in therapy are Cognitive /Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal therapy, ect.
My treatment approach to therapy is to first building a therapeutic/ trusting relationship, hoping that the patient can feel comfortable in divulging his/her problems. During that time, I will explore the goals the patient wants to work on and resolve. As a therapist, I believe in being able to listen attentively, while being supportive and helping patient gain insight into his/her problems and help them to develop the skills to work through the issues.

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.
