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.

Karen is lovely, she is easy to speak with and really helpful!
Karen just gets it, she’s so easy to talk to and understands what I need to do. So helpful and lovely
Just finished my monthly session with Karen. She is a lovely women and really gets to know you and what you need/looking for from your therapy sessions, she puts lots of effort and time in to understanding your situation and how you can move forward, she does not judge and makes you feel very comfortable, after my sessions with her I feel really happy for the time I had with her and have grown as a person and feel so much better, I 100% recommend her she does an excellent job with her work.
So far, so good. Karen has a great manner and a very warm, friendly and compassionate personality.
I've really enjoyed working with Karen. It's early at the moment but already had a few 'aha' moments and her input/guidance has been great in thinking through some areas of life. Would highly recommend.
