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 absolutely love her she has helped me tremendously
I was very apprehensive to start therapy again. However, once Lisa and I started working together, I realized this was exactly what I needed. She’s incredibly helpful and thoughtful. She empathetic and always offers suggestions to manage my anxiety. I’m incredibly thankful to be matched with her and I look forward to working with her more. I can’t express enough how much she’s helped me.
I’ve been going to her for a few weeks now and she makes me excited to go back and talk to her. I always feel like she really listens and I’m confident in her ability. Talking to her is easy and comfortable.
