Always amazing! I love that after 2.5 years I am learning so much every time we meet.

Reviewed August 2024

I've worked with a number of therapists, trying to find the right fit. Rebecca Murray is it. I needed someone who did more than just listen. It was important to me to have a therapist who was actively involved in providing solutions for my situation. Rebecca is knowledgable, gives me "homework" to engage in outside of my time with her, uses a variety of modalities, whether it be somatic practices, written CBT assignments, parts work, etc., and lastly, she empathizes with me in a way that I feel heard and understood while still gently challenging me when I need that. I can not recommend her highly enough.

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.

Rebecca understands where I’m coming from and always has a new perspective to my issues.

Reviewed February 2024

Hhighly competent therapist who doesnt pull punches, but manages not to be judgemental. She has gotten me to begin looking at things from different perspectives than my own. She also, however, validated my reactions to some things and with that knowledge, I can now recognize and call them what they were-- acts of cruelty and gaslighting.

Reviewed February 2024

Rebecca has great insight and ideas of how to work through my struggles. She has helped me through grief, work stress, and family stress. She was easy to talk to from the beginning. She allows me to just get everything out, and then we talk and strategize how to either 1) navigate fixing the problem, or 2) how to work through accepting the problem because I cannot change it and learn to manage the stress that it may continue to cause. She has been great to work with.

I am grateful to have connected with Rebecca. She is a very knowledgeable and skilled clinician. She is also warm and kind, patient, supportive, and encouraging. She has helped me through some very difficult things, and I feel like I can trust her with the things I am dealing with that I don't feel like I can share with family or friends. When I have worried about feeling judged for thoughts or feelings, she has made me feel accepted and supported, but still encouraged and helped me to get to a better place.

Rebecca has been a huge part of my life for the last 5 months or so. She is such a great listener and really good at helping you work through problems that seemed so big at one point. She is excellent at teaching you tools to practice for coping with stress and anxiety and is really informative with why these tools are used for specific reasons. Overall she was such a joy to work with and such a positive light that I looked forward to seeing every week. Thank you for all your help Rebecca!

Rebecca is wonderful at listening and we havehad great video sessions. Unfortunately those are only once a week. The other times I may do a journal entry but she doesn't seem to message me or reply to them. I work a lot and have a kid so finding time to do video chats alone is hard and I wish I was able to communicate with her more other than once a week.

Rebecca has been a great resource for me. She understands trauma incredibly well and is very well spoken. She’s not a therapist that will just tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you need to hear.
