I’ve only met with Mary a couple of times so far, but I am very happy I was paired with her! She’s very understanding. I love talking to her and getting her feedback and insight! I leave every meeting with her feeling like I have better understanding of myself and I have an idea of steps I can take to do and feel better.

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.
