Amazing therapist! Listens to your problems and gives critical feedback

Reviewed June 2024

Barbara is the absolute best. She creates a safe space for me to be open, honest, and vulnerable. She's also the perfect mix of support and "tough love." She knows when we can dig a little deeper and when we need to ease up. I would not have made the progress I've made without her!

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.

I can't say enough how much this platform and Barbara Lee have helped me. I was stranded during COVID in a foreign country and I needed support.
