About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Laurel is fantastic! I felt like a different person after my first two sessions with her. She is kind, caring, compassionate and very supportive.

Reviewed March 2023

I'm only in the beginning of my sessions, so right now, all is going well. I appreciate the listening aspect as I seem to need that time to get it all out. It helps when someone takes the time to listen and acknowledge, so thus far, it is going well.
