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.

Amanda is great in listening to what I have to say and let's me express my feeling out.
Amanda is fantastic to talk to and super understanding. I can message her whenever about anything and she gets back to me as soon as she is able
Amanda is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and understanding of my situations of what is both happening in the present as well as things that’s happened years ago! I am beyond happy that I feel confident and secure when I speak with her. Before, I was not super big on therapy because I thought therapy didn’t work, but now I see how incredibly important it is to talk about my struggles!
It's nice to have someone so personable to talk with. Also the followup weekly messages are great and serve as a reminder of my personal wellness goals. Thanks!
I love my therapist! She has a very calm and nurturing voice and personality. I feel safe when ever we have our sessions like a judgement free zone. I feel she gets me and really listens. She checks in often and she does a great job as well in keeping in touch and writing little tips and cooping techniques on how to handle stress. I also really love the fact that she always provides a brief quote of inspiration. I’d recommend her!
Always there to listen when we have our weekly conversation and it's helped me be more confident when out with others in the world to talk with.
Amanda is very good at asking questions that help me to connect the dots and uncover insights about myself and the situation I'm facing. She has a kind, gentle demeanor and I feel safe during my time with her. Highly recommend!
Amanda is super sweet and a great listener. I know I'm in therapy, but it feels like talking to a frienda who has great advices and really listens to you.
Amanda is amazing. Regardless of what is bothering you, she has insight beyond my past therapists and really knows how to engage and help you to get on a better path. I don’t think I’ll ever need to switch therapists again.
Amanda has been a great help. Having someone hear me out and help me through getting sober has been great! Thanks Amanda!
Amanda was great for listening to my current concerns, and helping me to feel like I'm getting on the right path
Amanda has listened to my concerns for the very first day, and has given me the support I need just to get through the day. She is very understanding and gives me the point of view I need to better understand the things going on.
