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.

Based on my experience, the hardest client is the retired therapist. Sandy has been terrific at it - patient, kind, relaxed, and just perfect for me. And she laughs at my dumb jokes, which is a real bonus. Boy, did I get lucky!

Sandy seems tailor-made for me. It never feels like I get...for lack of a better word..."clinical" response to any concerns I bring up. I feel safe, encouraged, and empowered after our interactions.

Reviewed December 2023

While it’s only been a few weeks spending time in Sandy’s company, it’s time spent feeling safe and heard. She listens when it’s time to and speaks when it’s time to. She ask questions that really make me think, sometimes something I probably wouldn’t have thought to ask myself and yet needed to. I’m quite comfortable being myself with her and look forward to our chats.

Wow I’m a very cautious person with whom I let within my circle but let me say Sandy immediately felt like somebody I’ve known for my entire life made me feel comfortable, allowed me to speak honest and openly and did not judge only tried to piece things together and ask the right questions to make my brain fire up and reveal some things. I was so iffy about this but after speaking with her I know I should be doing this.
