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.

John is great. He takes me at my own pace. Our discussions are very enlightening as we discuss issues that I experience and provides me resources that help me learn about ways to cope. He's calm and very patient.

John knows how to give you the floor to express everything you need to. He gives great advice and tends to your exact problem. He also assigns material that hasn’t crossed your mind yet which are perfect solutions. He’s great for keeping it simple and clean and keeps your biggest concerns a priority. My first session with him felt like we were many sessions in already, I’d highly recommend him

John Brooks is the best. He keeps it honest, and supports choices. He also provides material he thinks would help the client and has a great sense of light humour when needed - which I appreciate in “heavy” times. John is professional, punctual and cares. I’ve gone through about 50 therapists between ages 8 and adulthood. John is the only one I keep wanting to go back to. Super based and has good wisdom and all of this was evident after the first session. 100% recommended.

Reviewed December 2023

John is caring and listens and provides great tools to have in your tool kit when it comes to a vast array of family, relationships, friendships, and self help work.

John is a really cool guy, an excellent human and listener. He gives me tips that are straight to the point and may seem so simple but they are so effective. He listens and I can tell he wants to help and is present for everything and anything I have to say. He is not pushy but offers so many options and things to try out which also gives me hope there are many ways to get better and I didn't just try and already fail at everything. Thank you, John. I appreciate you a lot and feel lucky to have been matched with you.
