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.

She’s my fourth therapist, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s the kind of therapist I assumed I would be getting, she’s knowledgeable, takes notes, ask questions, and helps me to draw conclusions that I previously was unable to formulate on my own - in the short time that I’ve been working with her, I have made such tremendous progress, and I’m so grateful to have her as my therapist.

I love Kathee so far! We’ve been matched on here for a couple weeks and I know I can message her whenever I am having a hard time and she will respond quickly and with great advice. She also has provided a worksheet that really helped me work through some of my anxiety and I really appreciated it. ALSO she is the perfect match for me! We have similar interests and I feel like she understands the step in life I’m going through right now.

A great help and influencer. At first I was reluctant to even start therapy in the first place and a little nervous to try non-traditional therapy, but Kathee was very positive and supportive in her advise and questions. She created an open dialog that helped offset social anxiety. I'm not a very open person in my everyday life, however I felt reassured and comfortable with talking, seeking help, and accepting guidance from her. Thank you for all that you do.

I really like Kathee. I struggled for years with therapists that I didn't like and who didn't help me. I feel like Kathee understands me and understands why I am the way I am. She's heard my worst secrets that I haven't told to anyone before and she didn't judge me. Instead, she told me that I need to judge myself less. She's helped me more (and in a shorter amount of time) than any therapist I've had before. Kathee is a great therapist.
