Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Tracy is awesome! She’s taught me so much about my trauma and how it has affected my perspective of myself and those around me. She is wonderful!!!
This is the first time for me to use therapy and Tracy Ehrhardt has made the experience very comfortable. She’s made herself very available and offered resources to help me in between our sessions. She’s honest and open with me which I truly appreciate.
Tracy is the best! I was hesitant as a person of color having a therapist that did not share that same lived experience as me but she is very understanding and helpful. I love how comfortable I feel when I talk to her and she always makes me feel validated.
Tracy is very easy to talk to. She is calming and non judgmental. She is a wonderful listener because for me, sometimes I just need to get things off my chest and out there. She is quick to respond and follows up often to make sure I am doing well which is much appreciated.
I have learned so much in the short time that I've been counseled by Tracy. She is helping me realize that I am not my abuse. The negative self talk I've been using were placed there by others who felt negative about themselves. Now I'm on a journey to find myself and I cant thank Tracy enough for being my guide to a happy life and a positive outlook on myself and my situation.
Tracy has left me with a very good impression. She uses supportive language to make me feel that she is on my side and points out both things that sound good and bad to her. She does not always have the frame of reference for what I talk about but tries to understand my perspective on it and accepts that it is important to me.
Tracy has not only been a great person to talk to but she really listen if wonderful advice and most importantly true to get to the root of your problem. In a very caring supportive way. I was very lucky to have been matched up with her
Tracy has helped me in so many ways - I am so glad I was matched with her :)
Amazing! Understanding! Has so many tools to help specific situations and obstacles
Tracy is amazing and has an empathetic voice!
Tracy is very easy to talk to and I feel like she has plenty of experience dealing with all types of people and relationships so she's able to give me competent insight into my life and areas I need to work on to be happiest.
She is a great counselor and very empathic. I trust her and I need trust in my life. Grateful.
