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 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.

Clair was very friendly, adapted very quickly and understood my problems and was able to help. I sincerely thank Clair very much for her help
Clair has been an excellent guide in helping me get to a better place in my mental health journey.
Clair has been brilliant. She is empathetic, validating but also honest in the best way when helping me see certain situations how they actually are as opposed to how my anxiety sees it. She has been helpful and I really felt a sense of care and wanting to help. Thank you Clair
Clair has been very responsive and helpful. She was available late in the evening for a phone call while I was experiencing a bad situation and helped talked me through it to be more calm. She truly cares.
I am so grateful for Clair. She is helping navigate my issues with no pressure, and I am super confident and at ease with her. She is absolutely recommended ❤️
