About online counseling

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.

Overall rating:
Shirin is caring, supportive and gives great advice with practical instructions. I have enjoyed our therapy with her.
Very wonderful, supportive, and kind guidance. She really provides a safe space to discuss topics and has been very encouraging, so I enjoyed working with her.
Dr Roberts is very knowledgeable and understanding. She listens to my issues and responds appropriately. And gives me new ideas and things to consider.
Shirin is warm, kind, and experienced as a therapist. She always makes me feel better after our sessions. She listens and reflects on what I say and offers me suggestions when I ask for them (but she doesn't force her opinion or suggestions on me at all). I love talking with her and I'm grateful for her. She is a wonderful therapist.
She is so non judgemental and supportive! I can always count on her to say something that will help me with either perspective or encouragement of positive self talk. I recommend her 100000%
She’s amazing! She listens and really shows concern.
