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.

He is simply the best, very humble & down to earth. He takes the time to really listen to you. The conversations you have with Lawrence make you feel comforted. He is also incredibly nice & very knowledgeable in a variety of things. He’s super professional in this line of work and he’s help me tremendously. I would argue he’s the best therapist of all time.

Louis is a great therapist for me he's a good listener gives great advice!

Reviewed November 2021

Lawrence is the most understanding and respectful therapist ive had the pleasure to talk and open up to. I feel like I'm listened to and my opinions matter, while giving his personal opinion and not just the view of a therapist but someone who can relate personally to your problems in a professional manner. All of this only coming from 3 weeks of sessions means I would recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate ear and someone to dive into the parts of yourself your looking to improve
