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.

Jo listens so attentively and takes her time to piece together the scraps of one's life to help one find solutions to their issues. She is very easy to talk to and you feel she cares. She also takes extra time after the session to post useful resources. I'd highly recommend her
Been incredibly helpful in my journey to feel better and supported during a difficult time. Really turned it around for me and finally on the right path again. Takes her job very seriously. Very grateful!
Joanna is a fantastic therapist who is always kind, understanding and listens to everything you say. She will let you lead the conversations about whatever is on your mind and then offers useful strategies and helpful ideas to support you in the future. I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you, Jo!
Wonderful person, listerner, and of great help. Highly recommend!
