I recently had a virtual therapy session with Dr. Anderson, and it was an incredibly positive experience. From the moment the session started, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Anderson's empathetic and understanding approach made it easy to open up about my feelings and concerns. The advice given was thoughtful and insightful, covering aspects of life, family, and work. The session was well-structured, and I left feeling heard and supported. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

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.
