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.

I have had 4 sessions with Johanna and she has been able to understand my mindset very accurately. The exercises that she has recommended me have also helped a lot outside of therapy. I have had a very good experience with Johanna!
Speaking with Johanna these last few weeks has been incredibly useful and really helped me to work through some of the difficult emotions I've had around grief and trauma. She's very good at asking the right questions and giving space for me to delve into topics that are difficult for me to put into words. Her analysis of how I'm feeling and why has helped me to process and understand the way I'm feeling and has been very beneficial in terms of recovery. I can't recommend Johanna enough.
