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.

It’s been a short few weeks with Debbie. However, she has helped tremendously, helping sort out and manage whatever needs I had for personal and family matters. Debbie is a great listener, provides tools and follows up promptly. I am very pleased working with Debbie.
Debbie is awesome. She isn't judgemental, she listens & really wants to help. I wish she were my therapist indefinitely. 1 of the best therapist I've had honestly.
