Dr. Olson is caring and compassionate about our sessions. She is so considerate by remembering to check in on me on days that were heavy on my heart. When my husband and I speak with her it's like we are speaking to a friend. She is a blessing and I hope we continue to strengthen our marriage with Dr. Olson's help!

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.
