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.

Has been a wonderful therapist so far though ive only just started therapy
I feel encouraged and supported by Laura. I’ve tried a few different therapists and Laura is the one who listens emphatically, doesn’t overly push things I’m not comfortable with, and checks in with me regularly.
She is great we get along welll and I appreciate her advice
Laura is engaging and easy to talk to. She listens and offers sound advice. In all the chaos of my life she is calm and reassuring with a guiding light to help me not only see hope but reach it.
Laura Cole is a present, helpful and respectful therapist.
