Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Twila is a dear. I appreciate her hearing me out and not judging my perspective on things. For the most part I felt at ease expressing myself because she’s great with her words and I honestly it’s nurturing to hear a voice that’s confident and genuine. She’ll always remind me with a short note if I haven’t responded in a while and it shows that she hasn’t forgotten.

Twila helps me understand, see clearer. She doesnt give me the solutions, she navigates with me to recognize where Solutions are necessary. And she helps me reframe frightening situations in such a way that helps me build courage to approach reality honestly, rather than staying under a foggy cloud of confusion and hoping its all just a nightmare that will just go away when i wake. Because this is all real. Its not a day dream. Wake up and build resilency and face the reailty. Thank you Twila

I had a rough start with this app, the original counselor I did not feel any connection was being built, nor did I feel like that person was particularly listening or paying attention to what I was saying. It seemed very much like what was the quickest way to treat me that they could move on to the next patient. So I opted to find someone else to work with. And I chose Twila. And it has been the most liberating experience. She has been so warm and kind, I feel like I could not have made a better choice. Working with her has just been so lovely, and has really put some of my anxieties at ease, just knowing she’s there to listen. Even though we are just starting to work together, I couldn’t ask for anyone better.
