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.

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.

Very good therapist and easy going easy to talk too

Reviewed November 2022

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….
