About online counseling

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.

shes awesome!
Kind, understanding, and insightful. She puts you at ease and is easy to talk to.
Maria provides me with the understanding, guidance and support I need. While we’ve only had 2 sessions together, Maria has exceed my expectations in so many helpful ways. We both know that we’re in a marathon together and NOT a 100 yard dash.
Maria let me vent and provided support and great advice.
I've had just two sessions with Maria, so I am still getting to know how to work with her. I do feel she is listening to me, and that she is responding to, and guiding me accordingly. I think I'll need more sessions to really know, and I am very interested in having more sessions with her. She is gentle and assertive at the same time.
María has been a blessing for me. We have only met a few times but I have thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. I look forward to them every week.
She is kind and understanding and has solid plans to reach my goals
Maria has been awesome. I have been going through a tough time and she has made these times feel way better. I can’t even begin to discuss how grateful and appreciative I am for her help.
She gives Great insight. And great suggestions that are life-changing
Maria is very calming.. listens, and gives me appropriate ways to handle my day to day life.. she has been very helpful...
Highly recommend! She listens and then responds, never stopping or talking over you. She genuinely gives you her time and cares for her clients
I have been seeing Maria for a few months now and I really like her. It's hard to open up sometimes to therapists, but she has made it easier for me to do so. She is great with recommendations on books and gives me assignments, which have helped a great deal. I am still a "work in progress" but I believe with her help, I will get there. I highly recommend her.
Maria is the first therapist I have connected with in a very long time! I love her and how down to earth and supportive she is!!!
Maria is a great therapist and great listener. She helps me with my goals and listens.
I have just had one visit so far with Maria, but I liked her right away and I believe you have to so that you can open up. I am confident she will be able to help me reach my goals.
