First meeting went well. Angela jumped into it right away, already having a bit of knowledge of me from the answered questionnaire from BetterHelp. I felt a bit unprepared.

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.

I am so thankful for Angie. She has been such a great help! She listens. She is very knowledgeable. She is kind, but let's me know what I need to know to heal. I appreciate having her in my life.
I really appreciate her helping insight
Angela is down to Earth and approachable. She is funny which really helps to relieve my stress and anxiety. We have only had two sessions but I know she is knowledgable and I look forward to the work we will do together. I need clarity on some things in my life and I know she will help me find it. She shoots straight!
She is on time, makes talking about difficult things easier, has a smile, very professional and friendly.
She’s very attentive and listens I’m very sure that at the end of my sessions that my situation will be in a better position for me to handle. I thank her so much for her time and efforts.
I absolutely recommend Mrs.Allen as your therapist! She is amazing at her career and very straight forward! She gives excellent feedback and work to help you!
She's the best therapist I could have hoped for! She's strong smart caring and funny too. She see the world through a similar lense as myself and has a great sense of humor which helps. She also gets to the root of the problem and helps create a healthy way to resolve and deal with said problem. She's very insightful and helps me understand the physical reactions in the brain aswell which is very interesting and I enjoy learning about.
Thoughtful and encouraging
She seems genuinely interested and concerned about what we discuss. I have had only one session so far but I feel positive about her!
