Before I got connected with Carvan, I was in one of the lowest points of my life so far. I have been having meetings with her once a week for the past 3 months and I am beyond grateful to be consulting her on this healing journey. I still have a ways to go, but I have already come so far in re-formulating my direction, being the best version of myself, and having healthier relationships. She is awesome and I can't thank her enough!

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.

I have been having meetings with her once a week for the past 3 months and I am beyond grateful to be consulting her on this healing journey. I still have a ways to go, but I have already come so far in re-formulating my direction, being the best version of myself, and having healthier relationships.

She has been such a big help over the past few weeks. I’ve learned so much about myself and what I need to do to continue to heal. So grateful for her
Hands down the most empowering and supportive therapist I’ve come across. I’ve survived some of the scariest moments in life with her support even when I didn’t think I could. I’m eternally grateful for her support in my journey towards healing.
Carvan has been an excellent counselor for me since the beginning. She has been proactive with tending to my issues/concerns by sending me relevant articles about it. She made my negative feelings about caring for my grandmother relevant and family by telling me about “caregiver burnout”, then sending me articles about it after our session. She makes it known that I can contact her at any time and it makes me feel to be supported while I am trying to work through some of my issues.
“Dr Carter”, as I like to call her, walked with me for 6 months. She was always kind. She checked on me through the week, EVERY week. For 6 straight months. I could tell that she checked on me more during weeks that seemed particularly more emotional for me. She sent me articles and information to read to help me process. There’s A LOT of moving parts in my life, and she kept up with them ALL. And was flexible if needed. I thoroughly enjoyed our journey together and I can honestly say that I’m light years better than where I was when she and I first started counseling. I recommend her services 100%!
Caravan is one of the sweetest most compassionate counselors I have met. She gave me valuable resources that would assist me in navigating through the various issue that I have . I would highly recommend Carvan!
I went through three counselors before I got to Carvan. She actually cared about me and made me feel good about talking to her. Such a sweet kind hearted person. I’m so lucky I was paired with her!
Carvan has been a wonderful counselor, and I would highly recommend her to a colleague.
Carvan is amazing. I've been in therapy for years, but have made more progress with her in a few months than I did in years with other therapists. She has quickly helped me get to the root of my issues and given me the tools I need to heal and grow. She is such a genuine and caring person. I am forever grateful that I matched with her!!
She is the first therapist that was able to identify and understand my trauma. I don’t feel so helpless or hopeless anymore.
Very warm and professional! I feel fortunate to have been paired with her services.
Mrs. Carter is an excellent counselor. She listens and give great advice and pointers. It's only been about 3 weeks in counseling and she has helped my wife and I tremendously.
Carvan has been absolutely wonderful; I really couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to help me during this time in my life. She’s funny, silly, and so down to earth; she made me feel at ease pretty much immediately. Not only does she have an awesome personality, but she really cares about her clients, and the woman knows her stuff! I’m grateful for having had the pleasure to work with her!
Carvan is such an excellent counselor. I feel so much clarity after everyone conversation with her. She’s down to earth, listens well, and has offered so much insight.
She is amazing!!!
So far my experience with Miss Carter has been great! She listens to my concerns and is attentive to my needs. She checks in to ensure I am well and doing okay, and encourages me to keep in contact between sessions. I am very confident in her ability to help myself and others.
I absolutely adore this lady she always checking on me everyday I receive a message from her which shows me she is truly caring.I highly recommend her.
