Francis is a really good listener, and when I am talking with him he is carefully evaluating what I say and responding with intelligence and empathy. I have quickly grown to trust his judgement and have learned a good deal in the 2 sessions I have had with him so far.

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.
