Dr Yazell is caring and sweet. She has helped me identify how to moderate stresses in my life that i can control while we journey the unknown with my son's family and his medical emergencies along with my father's health as well and how these are effecting my relationship with my spouse. She's helped to put a plan into place to allow self care and still get things done in my home. I am currently seeing her for anxiety, stress management, depression and trauma. She is always willing to listen and encourages me to care for myself. i am blessed that i have her to help navigate my feelings and actions during this difficult time.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
