Diane listens closely and finds the one word that she hears when you tell her your feelings. The word that you may not even relize you're seeking or if you do she talks you through the situation on how to mentally accept it or work through it. She's non-judgemental, easy to talk to and has a way to know when to let things go or to pry deeper to get you to let out the pain you've been shoving down so you can confront it and hopefully start to heal better.

She listens very patiently and not pushy with how you should handle things. She gives you choices on what would work best for you.

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.
