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.

Bill is terrific. I always feel like he’s actively listening and it’s clear he retains things I’ve said in previous sessions. Very pleasant to talk to which makes the process much more enjoyable. Thank you Bill.
Bill is as polite as he is enlightening. He is a skilled therapist that nurtures personal growth and posesses a great many talents - which have allowed me to truly explore a painful past and work towards future solutions. Great guy, top lad, 11/10 "and all that jazz".
Great listener, reached out, and responds. For my first experience with counseling I’m feeling more comfortable as time goes by. Hopefully he will continue on this journey with me and leave me With great guidance and knowledge on how to handle situations and on to learn proper and moral control.
