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.

She is a great therapist and has helped me a great deal through a very trying time in my life. Highly recommend.
She is wonderful
Carole is an empathetic person. She does not waste time on providing me with immediate after-session tools to reinforce the breakthroughs that I experienced during our session. I am so grateful to her.
My therapist is very kind, patient, and understanding. There is no judgement from her, and it's extremely convenient to video chat.
Carole is a true gem!
She is empathetic, engaging, compassionate, very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. I am feeling so much better about life thanks to her therapeutic counseling. Highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with caregiver stress, bereavement, and relationship dynamics at work and personal life.
Carole is empathetic and kind with a good sense of humor. Meeting with her has helped me navigate grief after losing my father in addition to “ burn out” at work.
Thank you for all that you do!
She’s wonderfully empathetic, knowledgeable, open-minded, non-judgmental, and joyful!
Carole is exceptional. She is really helping me. I highly recommend her.
In just two sessions, Carole has taken her time to establish an empathetic connection with me as she helps me navigate the stresses of caregiving and its effects on family dynamics, my job, and my life. I have much more to learn, but I’m very hopeful that Carole will guide me with her compassionate spirit.
