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.

She listens to me that’s the best part. Understanding I need to just talk or vent.
Lolita listened to me. To feel heard and understood without judgement, and then given tools to help me make my own decisions was what I needed, and she delivered.
I appreciate how genuine Lolita is. I was nervous about starting this process but I’m grateful that I was paired with her. She has a calming spirit and provides an easy environment for you to open up.
