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.

A great listener and provides feedback on the topic that I have discussed
she has great advice
She’s been extremely supportive and helpful and overall a great therapist. I would highly recommend her.
Lila was so easy to talk to. She made me feel comfortable discussing some not easy topics. She was honest and used her real life as examples.
I feel comfortable talking to Lila. I love that she understands where I'm coming from as I have a hard time explaining some things. She's awesome!!
Lila is patient, kind, and experienced therapist who actively listens. Lila supports your working through a process, by offering insights and tools to help you heal and move forward.
I have had many therapists but Lila is the only one that elicits my raw feelings. She offers a great blend of weed whacking, in one moment I am spilling my guts and the next we are joking and jovial, putting me at ease. She has taught me it’s OK to be sad and the maneuvers to deal with it. She has also been the first and only person to help me deal with my crippling anxiety. 10/10 Lila is a true hero!
I am very happy working with Lila, she is so kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and has really helped me deal with some difficult issues and move forward I like feeling that she is on the same page as me and just “gets” me.
Easy to speak with
Lila is kind, thoughtful, insightful and astute. Her recommendations and techniques she shared have been incredibly helpful to me in this difficult time.
Lila is in tune with her patients. She is very skilled as a therapist. Lila gives you room to grow, while providing tools to help you in the process of self evolution. I can’t thank her enough.
Lila is very empathetic and truly listens to me. I believe that she genuinely cares about me and my well-being and wants me to get better. I had stopped meeting with her for a period of time…but started up again as I truly missed her. I always feel better after speaking with Lila. She responds to me very timely and works with a schedule that is convenient for me. I cannot say enough about her.
Lila has great insight, expertise and she is very empathic. She has been helping me a lot to navigate through my struggles.
I’ve had a few sessions with Lila, and will continue to do so. She takes her time, listening and analyzing everything I have to say. She has been amazing so far! She gives me helpful articles to read on top of her professional advice, and I always feel so much better after our sessions.
I am very happy and impressed with the level of care and concern she shows. She is a very good listener and responds with empathy.
Lila was extremely helpful and kind during a rough time in which I needed help. She gave me all the tools I needed to work through my emotions and was very quick to respond to any messages/questions I had. Highly recommend Lila!
We’re still getting to know one another. This is more on me than her, Lila responds so quickly and professionally. She also gives responses that dig deeper into your original post. I’m terrible at putting thoughts together sometimes so I love being able to share my journal entries. I also love there’s an option to send something urgently.
I have only had one session thus far with Lila, but I felt her to be very compassionate and caring. She acknowledges when I write in my journal and is very responsive
Lila Hughes is great! She’s very responsive. She listens carefully and offers wonderful perspective.
Lila is an extremely caring woman who truly dives into methods and ways of battling addictive behaviors and self-destructive thoughts. She is a wonderful therapist and an even better person.
Lila is very attentive to what is being said and offers very doable tips and ideas of things to try. She is efficient and timely with communication. I would highly recommend Lila.
Lila is a very very good listener and knows the tools that are needed to your personal success
Love Lila.. Easy to talk to. She listens and provides tool and feedback. Checks in regularly.
