Darrell is very attentive and supportive of anything I bring to the table

Reviewed December 2024

My therapist Darrell Patterson has been a huge help for me for almost a year now. He has been such a blessing to me counseling, guiding, and challenging me. So difficult to think that someday I’ll need to give up my spot eventually because so many others are in more need than me. Darrell has truly been a tremendous therapist!

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.

Darrell has been very attentive to my needs. He’s heard me out and offers applicable guidance. Darrell gives quality time in his sessions.

Mr. Patterson is perfectly imperfect in his approach of walking with you on your journey, and he’s vulnerable to the point it's like you've been speaking to him your whole life. He's a lifetime guide, not a seasonal check-in.

Mr. Patterson is by far THE BEST therapist I have ever had. His knowledge, empathy and encouragement are amazingly awesome. He REALLY pays attention and LISTENS! Everytime I have reached out via message, he always has responded faster than I could get back to him, LOL! He's just a an awesome and humble person. I recommend Mr. Darrell Patterson to anyone who is dealing with marital issues especially (though he has experience with other issues as well).

Darrell is very accommodating to my schedule, he listens, teaches, and inspires me to be the man, husband, and father God created me to be. I look forward to our weekly conversations. Sure wish he was my neighbor so we could talk more often.

I highly recommend my therapist. They have been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout my sessions. They create a safe and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and emotions. Their guidance and expertise have helped me gain valuable insights and develop effective coping strategies. I truly appreciate their dedication and commitment to my well being.

I was assigned Darrell Patterson. He’s been very helpful and his words just seem to stick with me for the week until we talk next. They reply in my mind as situations arise. He’s also been quite accommodating with times to talk. Very happy to be paired with a Christian man to help me navigate this storm.

Darrell Patterson, from our 1st meeting it was clear that he was the perfect match for me. He understood my problems and had feedback that landed with me instantly. His approach is effective and I highly value his input.

Mr. Patterson is insightful and very professional. I chose a male therapist for male's perspective and yet he is still very nurturing and encourages you from where you are.
