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.

Dr. Pruet is amazing and has helped me so much.
Dr. Priest has been very supportive and responsive and understanding about my concerns.
LOVE Dr. Pruet. He is very attentive to my needs. He regularly checks in on me to make sure I’m ok and he responds to my messages quickly. He is very knowledgeable in all things regarding my care. Dr. Pruet responds very well to my feedback whenever I’d like to try something different in my treatment plan. I felt an instant connection with him, which I was not expecting at all, because I usually stay away from all male therapists. He is very warm and welcoming, open and approachable. Anyone, male or female, with any kind of trauma in their past, would do well with Dr. Pruet.
Dr. Pruet is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable therapists I have ever had. He has the wisdom to navigate difficult challengeing of life events in my and know how to support, motivate and keep me grounded to achieve my highest self.
Dr. Pruet is amazing. Without his support the last few years would have really taken a toll on my whole life. He managed to help me find ways to pick up the pieces day by day, take another breath and focus on the progress and positivity to make it through rather than falling apart. Some days were definitely hard and he heard me, made time to listen and provide new coping mechanisms to process through even the hardest of days. I cannot thank Dr. Pruet enough for his support and compassion to help me get through while focusing on my children and myself to get stronger day by day.
Doc is a great therapist! He knows what to say to help me get through whatever I’m going through at that time. He checks in on me regularly and gets back to me in a timely manner as well. I wouldn’t be doing as good as I am right now without his help.
I wouldn’t be here without the help of Dr. Pruet. He has been an absolute lifesaver and I look forward to every session. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Dr Pruet!
So down to earth and and never judgmental. Makes it easy to just talk.
Dr Pruet is a considerate therapist with experience to back up his natural talents. If it wasn’t for him, I would have been in a darker place. I owe the good doctor for teaching me the skills to manage my mental conditions, and for reframing my perspectives on life.
