Asta can sense the right approach from the very first meeting. It feels like she knows me better than I know myself. Her questions, metaphors, and suggestions are extremely helpful. She is very polite, and I feel safe with her.

We only communicate via messaging but so far, it's been great! She was able to understand my concerns right away and provided me with great insights about how to resolve the issues I presented to her. She promptly responds to my messages and gives me prompts and points for reflection which are very helpful to me.

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.
