Ms. Charnas is excellent and helped me hit a breakthrough in self-awareness.

Reviewed February 2023

So far in the short time I have been speaking with Trista she has been more than understanding. When I speak with her she knows exactly how I feel and hits it On the nail every time. She is kind and is super thoughtful in her responses to me (via our messaging conversations) I’m glad to be working with her I think she’s very helpful.

More about Trista

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Colorado with 3 years of professional work experience in a clinical setting. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and coping with grief and loss. I also have a strong background in children and families and play therapy which comes in handy when working with any age group. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am a firm believer that you are the expert in you life, I didn’t live through your experiences you did. I see my job being to walk along side you and help you sort life out by pointing out themes and asking deepening questions to help guide and support.

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.
