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.

Desireah always knows how to put things in perspective. She doesn’t judge me and I feel very comfortable opening up to her. I’ve made huge progress in my emotional and mental health from working with her. I can’t thank her enough because that growth is priceless. Highly recommend!

Desireah listens attentively and reminds me of the tools that i have in front of me and helps me understand how to navigate many circumstances in life. I would highly recommend her. Having a therapist that reminds us that we are indeed in power is wonderful.
