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.

Amazing!
Very helpful
He is kind, understanding, and highly experienced. His insights help a lot.
Scott is a great listener easy to get along with, and has insightful input.
Scott is very knowledgeable and helpful
Scott is always pretty much ready and available to help. So far, I’m very content!
Scott is the therapist I need. He listens, and he interacts with me. I know I would rather have a therapist who engages in conversation rather than one who asks me " how do I feel about" all the time, with no input.
Scott is incredible. A very kind, sweet, empathetic, and VERY wise soul. Scott took me from a very dark place, and filled my world with bright light (pretty quickly I might add!). I would highly recommend Scott.
Scott is a good guy really helpful and I am glad to have the opportunity to learn from him thank you Scott
Scott has been wonderful and constructively helpful. He listens well like a compassionate friend and added a lot of perspective to what had been going on in my life.
I really appreciate to have Scott as my therapist. We've been in touch for around an year and the help that I received is incredible.
Scott has been helping me weather some rough seas related to my father's ill-health and death. He is kind and perceptive and his gentle insistence on self-care has helped me a lot. I can't recommend him enough.
I’ll keep it simple: Scott Persinger is highly intelligent, understanding, and kind; he is also very quick to respond. What more could you need?
Scott is a wise soul. Ready to listen but also offer sound advice. He gets back to me fairly quickly. I love the flexibility of the app and working with Scott.
Very good therapist and easy going easy to talk too
I desperately needed for someone to hear me and to get things off of my chest, someone to listen without judgement. Talking about it all with someone has been helpful and I enjoy updating Scott on the progress that I’m making. I’m glad I have reached out and started therapy. Thank you for being a great listener Scott. Just being able to put all of my thoughts out there instead of holding it all inside has brought me a lot of clarity and this is only the beginning of this journey….
Compassionate and softly spoken, Scott made me feel calm and comfortable. He shared many helpful tools and direction to help me through a difficult time. Thank you Scott.
