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.

Excellent therapist highly recommended
Enjoining my experience with Svetlana and highly recommend her. Extremely good listening skills, patient and non judgmental. Give her a chance to help you, I’m sure you will find her very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Good luck in your journey to become a better person
Svetlana is a blessing! She is genuine and listens and is kind. She is understanding. She is exceptional and I do not know what I would do without her. She has helped me get through some of my darkest times and is supportive. Amazing!
I love her! She's great and very supportive and helps me in every way
I was afraid of therapists because I'd been through a lot of ones who didn't make me feel safe heard or even respected. I was so nervous talking to her I'm sure my face was red but she was warm and she listened and had a gentle approach and actually gave me things to work on instead of feeling like I'm still really doing this all by myself. I've yet to really get to know her but the most important things to me were met, she's safe.
