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.

I like working with Heather. She understands what I’m going through and is able to provide the support necessary. She’s compassionate and understanding but still firm and direct and I appreciate that more than anything. I finally found support I need to heal and make a lasting change.
Heather continues to be a rockstar to have in my corner. I work a stressful job because I work with family and it's difficult to be able to express my frustrations with work without it becoming a family issue. She freely allows me the space to vent while jumping in to help guide me through any issue and discover the true source of that stress. I've been with her for over a year and I am afraid to think about where I would be without her! It's odd to say that I think of my therapist as my friend (#ParasocialRelationships) but I find that opening up to her is just as easy as speaking with an old friend. Whether the topic that day is work, family, relationships, intimacy, or childhood things I thought I was over, Heather has been by my side as I work through all of it. If you're a burnt-out eldest daughter learning to set boundaries and prioritize yourself like I am, Heather is your girl!
Heather is very knowledgeable about eating disorders and helped me a lot. She was also very caring and provided a safe and healthy space for me to explore my traumas.
Simply the best. She caters our sessions so what I need each week, whether it be ranting about work or talking through a disagreement with my husband/family member, she's always super insightful.
Heather listens to my concerns and validates my feelings while offering other perspectives on any problems I am addressing. This has been hugely helpful as I work through and learn to set goals and maintain healthy boundaries.
Heather Smith has been great! I appreciate being heard.
