I had only two sessions with Dr. Covernton so far and it already changed my life. Knowing that I have a safe space to talk about everything without any pressure, to be myself without any fears. I talk a lot and my thoughts are just coming and Dr. Covernton is amazing in asking questions at the right time and highlighting areas to work on deeper. We did an excellent practice of acknowledging and understanding emotions. It was the best practice and I really needed it and it changed how I see my emotions. Now I see them in loving, kind and caring ways. All in all, I’m so grateful that I have Dr. Covernton as my therapist. I needed a safe place to talk with a supportive therapist and guidance in my self discovery journey. And sessions with Dr. Covernton are exactly what I was looking for and I’m loving them.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.
