Kristina is an excellent therapist. She is really good about helping you get to the bottom of what is bothering you. She is receptive and listens, and has never made me feel insecure about expressing my feelings. I highly recommend her! Note that there can be a small delay in between reaching out (such as sharing Journal Entries or posts outside of the individual sessions) but I don't personally find that to be a detector of Kristina or her quality as a 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.

Kristina Kotecha is a wonderful therapist. I immediately felt supported and understood. Throughout our sessions she would point out positive things in my life and in my personality that I was not seeing or acknowledging. I really liked her problem-solving attitude!
