John is a very knowledgeable and kind person. His down to earth, methods and way of speaking with me is very beneficial for me. He has a great insight into the issues that we talk about and he is very forthright about things that we are speaking on. He has been a great help to me from the beginning and continues to help me with My growth in this process. I would recommend John as a therapist to anyone who was seeking help and positive progress.

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.
