I prefer a more action based approach to therapy, not as focused on conversation. For example, worksheets and articles to lead sessions. I struggle with identifying a topic and moving through it, so outside material is very helpful. Even though this approach was not helpful for me, therapist was knowledgeable and eager to work through possible issues.

Frank has been a great therapist for me! He's helped me channel my thoughts in a very constructive way in our sessions and with exercises like journaling. He's helped me identify cognitive distortions that become barriers in my life. We work on getting past these barriers in each session and in just a month, I feel like a very different person compared to when I started. In addition to the progress I've made, I feel great after each session with Frank, because he's such a kind and encouraging listener. Simply put, he cares, and it shows!

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.
