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.

She’s great
Chelsea is so caring, understanding, flexible and patient. When I share stories or experiences, she responds in ways that make me feel valued, whole, and real. I appreciate her time and energy so much. We connected on a level right away that I knew she heard me. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her as a therapist. I'm grateful to spend time with her. She has helped me to learn to be more fully myself and has helped me grow as a person. Thank you Chelsea!
Chelsea has been a great online support as I navigate difficult life challenges. I am so glad to have her support. Would highly recommend.
Chelsea is great! She's caring and professional with great advice. I just really wish it didn't have to be sessions over live chat because I feel like even a call would help me get out more info faster considering it's just 30 minutes.
Chelsea is amazing. She listens and really cares for clients. She has made such a big difference in my life already!
Chelsea has been great to talk with and, even after just a few weeks, I feel like she is helping me with my anxiety and concerns.
Chelsea is very patient and understanding. Even only through messages, I am able to have a productive therapy session at least once a week and I get to check in day to day with her which is great. She’s very understanding and good at her job.
