Dr Bucholtz is a good listener and has sound instincts. Appropriately, he doesn't really offer advice, but sometimes he will say something that provides a useful perspective, or links up some issues that I had not realized were similar. I feel that he is probably especially good with men.

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.
