About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Wanda has been great. I originally came to her when I was overwhelmed by things in my daily life. She was able to hear me out, help me to process my thoughts & feelings, and recommend things I could do to realign my feelings with my logic. Fortunately, my situation was short lived. But my time with Wanda was impressive enough that I am trying to keep on with counseling to work on other areas of my life.

Reviewed April 2023

I worked with Wanda through a very difficult time in my life--dealing with family and professional issues that I needed help working through. Wanda's down-to-earth style, ability to restate questions so that I knew she understood what I was saying, and collaborative, empathetic approach were just what I needed. I took her voice with me as I worked through a family relationship issue successfully. I was able to think through the professional issue and rebalance my life with her help. I would strongly recommend Wanda and, if and when other issues arise for me, I know she'll be there for me.

Wanda has been helping me for quite a few months now….we “hit it off” at the very first session. She is always very encouraging and understanding of my feelings. A couple of the great things that I have experienced with Wanda (and there is many more) are that she shows me a different perspective of what I think is “reality” and supports me through my struggles. I never feel judged or put down for my feelings. Wanda has been a great strength for me and I’m so glad we connected.
