I’m still only a few sessions in and normally would not provide a review so early, but so far, Dr. Dillinger has shown to be very capable of providing valuable and accurate insight gained from truly listening and meeting me where I’m at. I feel heard and cared for in the fragile state I’m in - I feel encouraged to grow outside my comfort zone and allow a healing process to take place in spite of my normal fears, and I also do not feel pressured or forced with anything I am not yet comfortable with just yet. Dr. Dillinger is very professional, but she is also very human, which is the balance I feel I’ve been looking for in a therapist.

So far she's been amazing. I don't feel judged, I don't feel dismissed, or like I'm a bad person or anything less than. She listens and is patient even with me having a hard time trying to communicate my thoughts properly and doesn't get upset when I veer off topic five hundred times... would definitely recommend!

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.
