Given the gauntlet that we’ve all been through over the past year (and counting), we should all be getting free online therapy. Mental health should not be considered a luxury, but the reality is finding a therapist on a budget can feel damn near impossible. Average sessions often
start at $150 an hour. But quality low-cost and even free online therapy does exist. There are dozens of affordable therapy resources from sliding-scale collectives and therapy funds to apps and social media communities that can help fill in the gaps.

Online therapy can take many forms a teletherapy session via Zoom, a text-based chat, or even a social media forum moderated by a mental health professional.
