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.

So grateful for all the effort and support!

Diseree has been a blessing to me from day 1 of our connecting. Not only does she intently listen to me during our sessions, but she challenges me, holds me accountable and makes me feel safe in talking to her about my concerns. The homework assignments and journals are definitely assisting me in my journey and Diseree gives me such valuable feedback with my writings and there's not a topic past, present or future that I don't feel I can share with her...NONE!

Reviewed September 2024

Therapy was very therapeutic today. I have more work to do on myself than I thought. I will have the pros and cons list ready next session. Enjoy your day

Reviewed June 2024

Diseree is really great at helping me work thru breaking down how different traumas that happened in my youth, have impacted my life, even now that im older, as well as seeing the importance of things to practice doing daily to make sure that I'm taking care of myself on my journey to heal

She's honestly great, pretty much everything I could ask for in a therapist. Challenging yet supportive.

Reviewed April 2024

Excellent therapy and she has been a blessing in my life, which is why I have come back to her, even after a year or two of not using the site! I like that she is a fellow minority woman and UNDERSTANDS and sympathizes with what I go through, and offers excellent advice, and is no-nonsense about her approach and tells me what I NEED to hear, not what I want. She also actually offers me ways to actually solve my problems unlike any other therapist I’ve seen, instead of only asking me how I feel about things and nodding her head, which I LOVE. I would recommend her to anyone in all honesty.

Reviewed February 2024

She so comforting and welcoming from the very beginning. She encourages you to talk about what's going through your head but you never feel pressured to speak. She's amazing and I highly recommend her

Reviewed December 2023

Usually it takes me a while to get comfortable with a new therapist. Whether that be comfortable being vulnerable around them or trusting their advice is backed by an actual understanding of what’s needed. This time around I have had no such issue though. It is so reassuring and so comforting having a therapist with such an extensive background being exposed to different environments. I would absolutely recommend Diseree to anyone who is looking for someone to help them take that first step to be in the best person they can be.

Reviewed November 2023

On our first phone consultation I felt connected to her, her life experience and the things she seemed passionate about resonated with me. She doesn’t tell me I should do this or I should do that she listens to me speak and together we prompt me to come to better decisions. We are still new at working together but I already find a have a great deal of respect and trust for her
