From the time that the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in public health safety measures here in Minnesota in Mid-March, I have continued to serve new and existing clients. Couples clients, men women, and career consulting clients continued to work with me by phone and through online teletherapy. 

Due to the present state of coronavirus cases in the St. Cloud, Alexandria & Elk River area, and throughout Minnesota, I will be doing online teletherapy and phone sessions exclusively.

Cost of Therapy

As an online marriage therapist and couples’ counselor specializing in marriage therapy, questions about the cost, frequency, number of sessions, and insurance coverage are common. People want to know these factors so they may be confident about beginning marriage counseling.

Although the most accurate answer to all of these questions is, “it varies,” the following information may be helpful if you, or a couple that you know, are considering marriage therapy.

Our Schedule for Online Counseling Therapy Sessions

In general, I schedule online teletherapy and telephone sessions on Mondays - Thursdays and Saturday mornings.  Unlike most counselor therapists, I do not schedule on the hour, but instead, space sessions 1.5 hours apart. You will receive a full hour of therapy. If your session lasts a little longer than one hour, I will not charge you an additional fee beyond the hourly rate.

My standard Monday through Wednesday appointment times are:

  • 8:30 am-9:30 am
  • 10:00 am-11:00 am
  • 11:30 am-12:30 pm
  • 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
  • 4:00 pm -5:00 pm
  • 5:30 pm -6:30 pm

If my standard times do not work in your schedule, I make exceptions to accommodate you with Thursday times of:

  • 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
  • 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
  • 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

I have non-standard times for clients who cannot schedule during the week on Saturday morning:

  • 8:30 am-9:30 am
  • 10:00 am - 11:00 am
  • 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Please call or text on my dedicated counsel cellphone of 320-223-9481, or email me at [email protected] to schedule a one-hour session. My rates and questions about insurance coverage and number of sessions are answered on this link.
