About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Sam is a delight, supportive and caring. I would recommend Sam to anyone who needs a good listener and empathic provider.

Respectful and intelligent

She is extremely knowledgeable in her field. She has helped me work on unresolved issues that I’ve had for years and without her I never would’ve thought about them from a different point of view. She is always genuinely caring and supportive without judgment. She keeps in touch with me and I never have trouble talking to her when I need to.

Sam is a kind, respectful, caring therapist who listens to my concerns. She responds with empathy and challenges me to grow my capacity to be a better communicator.

It's only my first session but she made me feel so seen and heard. Very respectful and honest and I really appreciate that

She is amazing

Incredibly kind and non judgmental, Sam makes it a point to make you feel heard but challenged to grow. She’s wonderful at painting a picture of what life could look like if you work on your challenge areas and focus on your own growth. Also she’s hilarious and I feel as comfy opening up to her as I do my besties ❤️

Im only two sessions in with Sam and already she has helped me feel so validated and supported. She's making me feel like I'm actually making progress and it's been so helpful already.

Incredibly thoughtful, great listener, a realist and won’t let you make excuses. Really love her!!

Samantha is great! She is a fantastic listener, and has given me helpful tools in having a fulfilling life. It's still a work-in-progress, but each day seems to be getting better.

I absolutely love Sam! She listens, understands and is empathetic. Her support is very caring and constructive and she’s helped me immensely with my therapy journey!

I’ve seen over 10 different therapists throughout my life and I have never had one as validating, caring, genuine, and all around amazing as Samantha. After my initial appointment I was only able to cover a very small fraction of everything I’ve been through and struggle with and even with what little information she had Samantha was able to know what to say and do to make me feel like I was worth something to someone and that I wasn’t alone. She’s the first therapist to not belittle or “play devils advocate” against my childhood trauma and traumas since. She helped me realize that what I’ve been through is not normal for someone who’s only 23 years old and it gave me a sense of strength to hear that someone my age shouldn’t have experienced everything I have yet I’m still here. Samantha will forever and always be the best therapist I have ever had and my favorite by far.

She’s been great. Attentive and even reaches out when I forget to. She’s understanding and patient. I appreciate her great advice.

She helps me set up small ways I can tackle a big project. She is very supportive.

An extremely nice and understanding woman. I have never once felt judged even when explaining my lowest points

Very helpful and came up with with creative ways to help me better myself

Sam is a great listener. Helped me think through a lot of hard to deal with issues. Gave me realistic homework I could put into practice that was relevant to my situations. Sam helped me with a lot of realizations. Recommend her 100%!

She has been the most helpful and available when I need it.

She is attentive and helps you work things out.

She is a great therapist . I feel heard and I feel she cares

Sam is awesome! Has so much knowledge and expertise and is super easy to talk to

I have had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She listens to my feelings and gives great advice and tools to use to help me cope with my anxiety. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. I always feel so much better about things after each session. I would highly recommend her.

In just a few months i was able to accomplish a lot with Samantha compare to what i try to do on my own regarding my anger, depression and able to reconnect with family i lost connection with. I truly recommend.

Samantha was very helpful when I was having a hard time. She has also been great in ongoing discussions and really listens. I feel very connected to her and really value her input. She asks insightful questions, and really makes me think about things.

Samantha is amazing! She is the first therapist I have met with that really listens to my concerns while also showing she is committed to helping me address them. She is overwhelmingly personable and very supportive.

Samantha is really great, and although the time she has been my therapist hasn't been for very long I do feel as though we are making progress together. She listens and helps me reflect upon myself in a much healthier manner than what I would do alone instead.

Sam is great! We are fairly new to working together but she really helps me with whatever I bring to her. I really enjoy our sessions and always have helpful tools to help me after each session.

Samantha helped me get through some difficult times. She is a great listener, supportive, and helpful. With these therapy sessions with Samantha, I was able to deal with a lot of issues in the last months knowing I can talk to her and feel heard and get guidance. Thank you.

Sam should be in the dictionary next to the phrase “safe space”. Her approach to therapy has not only made me feel seen and understood, but empowered to better myself. She practices what she recommends and has a real talent for stepping out therapy so it’s far less daunting to undertake. She’s one of the only therapists I have had such a great rapport with that I have felt comfortable enough to joke while discussing my trauma. We also have a BIG difference in time zones and she is more than willing to accommodate as needed. She will work with you to work on you!

Samantha is kind and compassionate.

I cannot say enough good things about Samantha! After a recent loss I was in dire need of someone to speak to - someone empathetic, kind, understanding, and personable. Samantha embodied all of that right off the bat. From our first meeting, I felt connected to her and that it was easy to be myself. She has a special way of making you feel validated and heard, all while keeping things light-hearted and positive. I appreciate the helpful tools she has been giving me along the way and know that continuity to work with her will help me become a stronger and more balanced person.

My session went great, I ended the call feeling heard and understood.

I feel she genuinely listens to me, takes me serious, and helps me work through things. She also challenges me to understand and think about different aspects. I 100% recommend her!

I've been seeing Sam for about a month now and every session is so helpful, she is always sharing tips and holding me accountable and always shows up for me! My first experience with therapy was a nightmare and Sam has shown me a better side to it.

I’ve had the opportunity to see Samantha 4-5 times now and I am so grateful. She is kind, empathetic, and never judgmental. She does a great job of providing resources, communicating action items to work on, and tailoring our discussions in a way that I find most helpful. She is extremely easy to talk to and has been flexible with me in regards to schedule changes. I look forward to continue working with her. Thank you

I was hesitant of therapy for years because I’ve heard so many negative stories on it. But after struggling for years with my mental health, I finally caved and took the leap. I got paired with Samantha and I could have asked for a better therapist. She has a great balance of personal and professional relationship where I feel like I can be comfortable enough to open up about everything, yet be constructive about it. She’s helped me a lot when it comes with processing my emotions and keeping myself in check!

Samantha is wonderful to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I have been using her services for about two months and I have seen dramatic improvement. Her suggestions are "spot on" and have been very helpful.

I'm so happy they matched me with Sam. So down to earth so I don't feel like I'm being judged or like I'm talkin to an 'Authority' figure. She's helped me be more Forgiving of myself and is always available in some way when I need her. I look forward to seeing her every week

Samantha was prompt to answer all my messages and so far has been great to work with.

Sam is amazing. She's so good at focusing in on your core issues and gives helpful steps to move you forward. She's made a significant impact on my mental health and I feel confident again. Highly recommended!

Caring and professional.

Excellent person to talk to

Such a wonderful person who genuinely listens and hears me out

I am so grateful that I have found Sam. I’m dealing with the aftermaths of trauma/infidelity, and at a point in my life where everything seemed so hopeless. Working with Sam has helped me start to regain a sense of control and challenge faulty thinking/unhealthy patterns. Furthermore, she is one of the most kindest, empathetic therapists I’ve had and really seems to understand the problem and what can be done to help her clients. I have also recommended her to my friend because I feel that trust in her abilities.

Sam has been a great help. She is like talking to a friend and confidant, not some anonymous clinician. She is a great listener and has given me things to think about that have helped me gain some insight. I feel fortunate and blessed to have found Sam.

She helped restore my positive associations with therapy rather quickly just from how she held herself as my new therapist. One of my main needs for my therapist is that I wanted someone who would show up for me. Mama S does exactly that and it only fuels my motivations to continue with inner work
