About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.

Wonderful
She’s very thoughtful. Easy to talk to.
I am very thankful for Dawn Wiley. I was struggling through many webs when I first signed up for BetterHelp (my first counseling experience). Early on in working with Dawn I began to look forward to our weekly sessions as a pick-me-up. She is a bright light, a gentle counselor, and a supportive listener that set me on a path to see more clearly. Her offerings of wisdom, little tasks that helped with my mindset, and encouragement to actively build myself up were exactly what I needed. Even her messages throughout the week help me feel like someone cares enough to check up in between. She also provides a lot of biblical advice and faith-based growth plans that help you connect with something bigger than yourself. I recommend working with her!
Very easy to talk to
Dawn has been such a blessing in my life! Love her advice and feedback. She always responds in ways that incorporates the word of God and it’s just what I’ve needed. Thank you Dawn!
So thankful for Dawn. She is such a light in this world. She has helped me to grow in myself and my relationship with God. I couldn't have asked for a better pick of therapists.
Dawn is an incredible woman of the Christian faith who will validate your emotions, pray for you, and make you feel like you are capable of more than you thought you could do before starting therapy. She's been a real blessing in my life and encourages me. She is a role model and with her encouraging advice based on the Scriptures, I've voluntarily sought more of my God and His Holy Spirit to help me with my struggles.
She is priceless
Dawn has been fantastic! I put off getting a therapist for so long and I’m so glad Dawn & I got matched. It’s rare I meet someone who shares the same views on so many things. There are a lot of odd coincidences between our experiences… I believe meeting Dawn was divine intervention and couldn’t be more grateful to be working with her
I love her! Very kind and understanding.
With Dawn's help, I now have tools on my toolbox to thwart anxiety and depression. She's also helped me squelch loud, negative self-talk. I appreciate her help so much!
Dawn was absolutely amazing. she helped me achieve my goals and set boundaries for the people around me. Highly recommend!
The best help I have ever received to manage trauma, understand behaviors, and create positive change with help from my therapist, Dawn. I am truly thankful for her stellar help!
This is my 3rd week of therapy and I already feel so much better. My therapist is very encouraging and listens to my needs.
Dawn is the sweetest & very grounding! She is responsive via text which really helped when I had those moments of high anxiety between sessions. I specifically searched for a Christian therapist & Dawn was amazing at integrating my experience with God & my identity in Christ. She was not pushy, very validating, listened & remebered everything, and very accepting. I loved working with her and highly recommend her. God bless!
She is awesome!
Simply the best!
I knew immediately Dawn was a match and I feel extremely lucky to be able to work with her. She's an incredibly good active listener and I know she truly cares about my well-being and she will help me reach my personal goals. I'm just getting started on this journey and I feel I am in kind, caring, capable hands.
Dawn has really helped me to set goals that are achievable. I find myself less stressed and more organized after working with her!
It was great working with Dawn. She listened to me, made me feel comfortable to share my feelings and was able to identify the cause behind my feelings. It really helped me get back to my normal self. Appreciate all her help!!
Working with Dawn has been extremely helpful to me! She's so sweet and validating! I've seen a lot of different therapists at this point, and Dawn has, by far, been the most understanding of anyone I've worked with!
Dawn is kind and understanding. She really listens and she is very supportive. She is pleasant to work with. It's my first time doing therapy and she has really made everything easy for me. I would recommend her to everyone.
