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.

Cheryl is a great therapist! She is caring and understanding of the problems that, until talking with her, I was struggling to identify let alone move forward to resolve. Her implementation of biblical scripture has motivated me to want to change myself. Don’t get me wrong, I needed someone like Cheryl to help me, but she actually opened my eyes to me wanting to help myself which I haven’t felt in years!
She’s attentive and offers sound practical advice and that’s all you could ask for out of a therapist
