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.

Ms. Bollin was very engaged and listened carefully to my issues, asking pertinent questions respectfully and in a timely manner, i.e. not interrupting but very naturally. She was able to give me feedback on ways to approach the situation that I had not considered, an invaluable new perspective on the issues that I face.
Her compassionate and professional approach created a safe space for self-reflection and growth. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective counseling and a supportive environment.

Laura is amazing she has helped through some really bad days. I would not have made it through this episode without her
Very reflective listen. Very responsive.
Dr Laura is amazing; she is insightful, kind, mindful and patient with how she comes to add perspectives to our sessions and always seems to say something that ends up being my take away. The mark of a great therapist is that ability to add when you thought there was nothing more to add! She has really helped me find a place to put the struggles and trauma in my life, so this struggles have a place to set, so I don’t carry them with me in the present!!!
Laura has been very soothing for my soul. She listens and I appreciate that. Thank you so much
Laura is a skilled listener. She has given me the space and time I needed to verbally process my feelings and ideas and has shared her own ideas about how I may be able to move forward into a more sustainable place with my emotions. I have made a total 180 degree turn for the better on my course in life right now because of what I have been able to share with Laura, and her valuable feedback, compassion and wisdom.

Laura is great, technical, and very understanding.
Thoughtful, good listener, supportive and willing to tell the truth in order to see me get beyond hurdles.
It was wonderful meeting Laura. She is very kind and easy to talk with. However, I need someone with a more neutral point of view, to help me navigate. I need someone who can give me a non biased point of view. I won’t be going back to Laura as I did not feel she was neutral. Although she was very kind.
Laura has given me a new outlook on therapy. I have been dismissed by other therapists in the past but I feel like Laura truly hears me and wants to help me better myself.
Laura has helped me express my feelings, accept responsibility for my behavior, reduce shame and anxiety, helped me celebrate happy times, persevere through hard times, and navigate the repair of damaged relationships. She always seems to know the right question to ask in order to help me see something I missed. Her language reflects understanding of important aspects of my identity. She effortlessly acknowledged and respected a rather unique aspect to my identity that I'm used to others finding confusing or challenging.

I love how she just listens, sympathizes and offers support with suggestions that are realistic and attainable within each situation.
Laura Bollin really cares about what I have to say - she never gives me a cookie cutter response and always offers me support. She has helped change my perspective on my life, but never pushes me to get there. Instead, she helps me create a game plan to tackle various problems I have, and by the end I arrive to a new conclusion and healthier perspective. Added bonus? She is funny, and we always seem to share a laugh at some point in the session.
Laura Bollin took time to listen to my story and struggles without interruption, she gave me reassurance and been keeping up with sending me information and worksheets that help me with my daily life as i move forward. I do appreciate her , i would recommend her.God Bless.
