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.

Katie has been an amazing therapist. I've been going through some pretty though times and she has given me the tools to help myself when I am feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I feel much more capable of taking on what life has to offer now. Katie listens to everything I have to say and asks just the right questions to help me think through my issues. She also provides a very safe, welcoming space where I can be honest about how I am feeling which is normally hard for me. An added bonus is her dogs are very cute!

Reviewed August 2022

Katherine Ssejjemba is a fantastic therapist. She listens, breaks down my questions and concerns, and provides me with material that I can read to understand why I experience the things I do! I wish she would give me some feedback on her idea of things. She is flexible and understanding. As well as very patient. I definitely recommend her!
