Susan is highly attentive and I found her at the right time. She has great availability for working people, but the top reason why I selected her for my therapy is because I can tell she is qualified, caring, and professional no matter what I bring up.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
