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.

Donna is well versed in therapy and is able to gently guide me back to my goals without ever being dismissive. Evenings work best for me and being able to meet then is wonderful and I don’t feel that I am imposing or being rushed. It wasn’t easy to ask for help and I was initially reluctant but Donna is really welcoming. I feel I can now trust her completely with my personal information and that she is a person of true integrity!

Donna is a wonderful resource and makes therapy comfortable. She has surprised me with her knowledge of industries and other lines of work. You can really tell she is an active listener and enjoys this line of work. I appreciate her ability to adapt her style to best suit my needs. Whether you want her to listen, or actively engage and ask questions to stimulate thoughts. Very much enjoying the journey so far.

Reviewed August 2021

I don’t even know where to begin. What I can say is…that this experience has been life changing. Donna puts so much in perspective for me. She gives me room to be imperfect, to speak my truth, and to feel validated. And still, she nudges me to adopt some new ideas and behaviors. I’m really appreciative of this experience with Donna. Thank you.

i told my girlfriend and coworkers the same thing, "My therapist asks the best questions, and i hate it. i hate it because it's the ones i needed to hear and answer and would never have on my own. The best questions asks to actually help me.". As silly as that is, it's a great review, trust me.
