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.

I have had a great experience with Shane Lopez. He creates a comfortable environment and has a great way of asking questions and sharing stories that has helped me rethink or reframe my feelings and perspective. I highly recommend Shane.

Shane has helped me through a very difficult time and I value his support and guidance greatly.

Reviewed November 2022

He is genuinely one of the best therapists I've had and I've been in and out of therapy since I was a young child. What I really need from a therapist is someone who drives the conversation towards difficult topics (because with past therapists I have fallen into a pattern of only discussing superficial topics and therefore not really making any progress) while maintaining a balance of light banter and empathy that keeps it from getting too overwhelming. I feel like I am making more progress working on my severe and debilitating anxiety than I have with a therapist in many years. 10/10

Shane has been very enlightening and I’ve appreciated every session so far. It’s my first time attending therapy, yet he makes me feel calm and understood. He has great analogies, examples and explanations that give more insight in our meetings. I’ve been implementing much of what we have discussed so far throughout my day and it makes me feel more at ease. I would highly recommend Shane and thank him for his time to help!!

Shane takes the time to really understand what is being conveyed. He is easy to talk to and somehow can always help to shift my perspective when I need help seeing the bigger picture. Happy to have connected with him. :)

Reviewed March 2022

Shane is amazing. I’ve had a hard time finding a therapist because I do so much self-help work that I feel like I know what they’re going to say already. I’ve only had 3 sessions and Shane has already helped me begging to resolve some things I didn’t even realize I was holding onto and have clearly been affecting me still. Shane is easy to talk to, professional but warm and caring. I’m thankful to have finally found someone I would like to see regularly.
