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 came to Crysy with a dumpster full of issues and she dived head in first with me to start digging through all the garbage and start finding the treasures. Her sense of humor is amazing as I needed a therapist who could appreciate the funny twists I put on my life and my disturbed sense of humor to cope with the hard stuff. She is a fur baby momma who truly understands the sacredness of the pets in our lives and the impact their deaths have on us. She has helped me through the loss of two of my beloved dogs and the loss of my father. I highly recommend her as a therapist!
