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.

1st Video visit. Lori was Very open and warm. She listened and we were able to have a great rapport. Thank You Lori

Lori listens and understands. She has helped me so much in my mental health journey. I highly recommend her services

Lori is a wonderful listener. Because of that she gains insight and asks thought provoking questions. She is helping me with my addiction issues and I feel is truly looking out for my best interest. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that is surviving family trauma, addiction and trying to discover themselves.. She's got you!!

She was very kind and understanding! Great advice and has helped me through alot. Definitely recommend Lori to anyone who needs a good ear to listen and solid help and advice.

Lori is wonderful! Patient, thoughtful, and kind!

Lori has been amazing as my therapist. She is straightforward which I appreciate but also kind and understanding. I am so thankful to have come across her during this difficult time in my life-her expertise has been invaluable to my mental health and has given me the tools to get through it.

Love meeting with Lori she provides the support I need but also just listens to me when that’s all I need for the day

I am extremely happy with therapy I received from Lori. Her evidence-based approach to care is world-class and she is very compassionate and understanding. I highly recommend her.

I like Lori very much and find her to be helpful and sympathetic. I feel lucky to have been assigned as one of her patients.

I was going through a crisis when I found Lori. After working with her a few times, we were already on the road to self-growth. She would send me some forms for me to use in my daily life, which helped me a lot.

Very kind and non-judgmental. Quickly put me at ease! She provided a lot of practical resources that help me between sessions and tools to help me beyond therapy.

Lori is easy to talk to. Lori is providing me insight in a very timely manner; almost immediately. Lori provides guidance in a comfortable atmosphere which allows me to be more relaxed and is helping me to be a better person with the necessary coping skills! Thank you, Lori!

Lori is awesome! :) She takes the time to just listen and never judges. If I miss an appointment, she messages me to ensure that I am ok and if ever I’ve needed an emergency meeting, she literally will do whatever she can to accommodate requests. I’ve been seeing her for a little while now and I can’t believe the difference it’s made and how amazing it was to have her there when I could barely keep myself together. Thank you so much Lori! :)
