About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Dr Elias is a game changer for my marriage! I just tell him reoccurring problems, he tells me what to do when they happen and instantly they become problems of the past. My marriage is so easy now! And he doesn't only have advice for marriage he also helps me with getting too upset in certain situations at work. I work with the public and people can be awful and Dr Elias helps me not take things too personally.

Dr, De Elias is excellent at his job. He is helpful and respectful. His advice is very good and helpful. I tell him in our sessions that he is very good and I appreciate him, so this is just for those of u reading. I went thru several bad therapists on here before I found this very good one, but that's life also. Dr De Elias is one of the best.

I was originally skeptical of therapy but working with Dr. De Elias has been a tremendously positive experience for me. He does a great job of creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore difficult subjects and acts as an extremely knowledgeable guide through the landscape. I trust his expertise and I can say that my life is, indeed, changing for the better as a result of working with him. You can really feel his dedication to his work and it never feels like he is simply “doing his job”, but that he truly cares about improving the lives of those he works with. I would highly recommend Dr. De Elias to anyone is interested in working through the emotional complexities of their life.
