About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
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.

Susan is GREAT! She’s very informative and has helped me tremendously. She’s not like other therapist that treat you like a numbered patient, she I feel really gets to know you and will even make small talk with you to make the sessions comforting and enjoyable. All of the ideas, goals, and so on she has sent me or talked to me about has helped me so much and I can always look back on worksheets she sends me when I need a quick reference. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a therapist. She is hands down AMAZING!

From the short time I’ve known Susan Williams, she has been very supportive in how she speaks to me and gives me a lot of beneficial advice. I like how she sends worksheets on how to improve and work through my primary concerns such as depression, addiction, relationship issues, etc. I think she’s a great therapist and I love her upbeat attitude.

Reviewed June 2022

Susan seemed like a good listener. I never got much as far as therapy goes but I did vent a lot to her. She provided some ideas and thoughts. Most were obvious to me, like make time with you and your wife with no kids, have a date night, help out around the house. Not sure what I learned, still don’t know if I’m the problem or have a problem. I do appreciate Susan’s time and thank her for reading my rants! I think the price was way to much for what I received however! Best of luck to others searching for answers or help!
