Susan’s warm and caring approach and active listening makes her easy to talk with. She slows down, explains her thoughts with examples and in multiple ways. She is sensitive to where I want to go, however is able to ask challenging questions to develop new perspectives. We have had a handful of sessions thus far and I look forward to our weeks ahead as I develop various goals and the explore ways to achieve them.

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.
