Since I have been working with Jennifer, she has used different tools, examples and vocabulary to better explain ideas, thoughts and helpful examples. I have worked with a therapist before and it was basically like talking to a best friend and updating him/her about my issues. No progress was ever made. With Jennifer, I have never felt so positive about my progress and improvement as I have with her. Thank you Jennifer.

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.
