About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Michael is an incredibly kind and caring therapist. Always starting our sessions with a positive vibe, while being very respectful if I'm not in the best place. A warm and lovely experience from start to finish.

Was my first experience asking help from a specialist, i wasn't sure i will be confidence to tell my problem with someone i dont know, but i dare myself for a help, then i was with Michael, and he is a wonderful therapist. He is very caring, listening to every part of my stories and issues, and very helpful. I like the methodology he used to help, giving perspective, and motivating. just with 3 sessions, i started to feel better for myself, and be optimistic. I highly recommend Michael.
