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.

It was great to meet Sara! I look forward to getting to know talk to her more!
My first session with Sara was great. I'm encouraged to meet with her again.
Wonderful to chat with, very kind person.
Sara is kind, funny and understanding. Non judgemental but tells you what you need to hear. I look forward to our meetings and the insight she gives me on any issue I am having.
The primary focus of our sessions are communication. I requested a straight forward and caring therapist who’s invested in my wellbeing. I believe that Sara Scott is a perfect fit for me, because she doesn’t beat around the bush. She tells me exactly what I need to hear in a way that she knows I will understand.
Sara has been great as a therapist. She listens very closely to what I’m sharing and gives me great feedback on what I should focus on. She is very compassionate. I really enjoy our sessions.
Sara has been a fantastic therapist thus far. I enjoy my sessions with her, I wish they could last all day !
Sara is a wonderful and non judgemental human. She helped me have a huge breakthrough in my mental health journey. In the short time I have been seeing her, my mental health journey that was once dark, now has a shining light at the end of the tunnel. She has changed my life in the best ways.
