Truly such and amazing God fearing woman. I connected the first conversation we had. I felt comfortable to just open up and talk. There was a point we just talked about God… I really needed that. She was there outside of sessions. She gets active with (work sheets and assignments) you are very impactful. I enjoyed our time together thank you Takara.

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.
