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.

Mary is very respectful, understanding, and helpful. Highly recommend, she is very encouraging and responds quickly!

Reviewed November 2024

This was the first individual therapy session I have ever partaken in, and Mary Brown immediately made me feel comfortable. Any nervousness I had went away within minutes of speaking with her. And, more importantly, she completely understood my issues and was incredibly knowledgeable regarding how to address and work on them. She provided some useful material to help me work through things and improve myself as a whole. I will continue to work with her until I feel confident my issues have resided. She's trustworthy, kind, and clearly has excellent experience. I sincerely appreciate her for that.
