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.

Awesome therapist who ACTUALLY listens and offers relevant help! I would recommend to anyone who needs an amazing therapist that will help you through the difficult times!
At a time when I had high level of anxiety, Dr. Thomalla helped me almost immediately by giving me tools, resources and helping me find the answers to questions I needed to ask myself. It has been a great journey working with him and I highly recommend Dr. Thomalla to anyone seeking experienced counselor.
Although we have had only one session so far, Dr Thomalla has been very helpful and, after listening to my concerns, has offered different forms of therapy that might benefit me. I also really appreciate the fact that he encouraged me to write to him in between one session and the next in case I needed any support. I’m excited to continue therapy with him. Thank you, Dr Thomalla!
