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.

A year in! Working with her was The best descision ever!
Latasha checks up on me even when I basically ignore her for my own personal reasons and situations. I appreciate the understanding she shows. She does what she can to help me.
Doctor Latasha Shannon, helped me set out key goals on the path of self discovery. Thank you.
Ms. Shannon helped me with my issues, had good suggestions, and the worksheets were pretty easy to complete. I feel like I can use a lot of the methods in communicating with my husband, and am better prepared when we both decide to see a marriage counselor. Thank you!
Latasha Shannon was very helpful, I was able to vent without feeling judged. I was really comfortable with talking to her, she gave me great advice that really helped me a lot.
Very professional & provides great advice. Would recommend her services to anyone!
