Willie is a great listener, and helps me identify the areas that will bring me the most healing, and also the next steps to get there. The process of therapy is not easy. She holds me accountable, but also understands that sometimes, I am being too ambitious in taking the next step, and she helps me to understand the next step that may be right for now. She has been a trusted advisor during a difficult time.

About online counseling

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.

Willie is awesome! She’s patient, she pays attention to what has been discussed previously and helps identifies behaviors you may not be aware of. I feel as if my anxiety has gone down quite a bit since working with her!

Willie is the best counselor I’ve ever had. She’s empathetic and actively listens. She takes notes and asks thoughtful questions to understand the emotions and motivations behind what I’m saying. I feel very safe and encouraged to be open with her about my life and what is happening. She does an amazing job of balancing validating my feelings while also challenging me to confront or question unhealthy beliefs and patterns. I would highly recommend Willie for any counseling!
