I'm only a couple sessions in, but I feel that I have received good input from Audrina so far. She has been great about providing me worksheets in follow-up and in preparation for our next session. She allows me time to talk without interruption and offers valuable tools relevant to assist me in dealing with the issues I am having. I look forward to continuing our work together. I was a little hesitant about starting therapy, let alone online, however it is proving to be a positive experience.

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.
