Dr. Riddle gives you the opportunity to be open and honest with yourself about your thoughts and emotions. This can really be helpful when trying to relieve stress. In addition, she challenges your thoughts and off you different perspectives while maintaining a neutral stance. This unique dynamic approach allows for healing and the ability to see one’s own faults and work toward the progression of growth. With that being said, I recommend Dr. Riddle as she is a solid therapist and supporter.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Dr. Riddle is the BEST therapist! I've been working with her for a year and she's been so great at making me feel heard and is so affirming even while challenging my views. She paces the session wonderfully and gives me so many resources like worksheets, affirmations, and strategies to help better my life. She's incredibly compassionate, kind, funny, and patient. I have always felt comfortable opening up to her, and that is because she does a great job in making it feel like a safe and comfortable space. I can tell she really cares about her clients because she always remembers the little details and messages throughout the week to help me keep stay optimistic and mindful. Part of me will really miss Dr. Riddle as my therapy is over, but I am much healthier than I once was because of her.
