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.

Dmitri is not a mechanical sterile therapist. He is an open minded, nonjudgmental human being. He combines his extensive knowledge with soft skills that are disarming and gentle. His interest in the patient is clearly genuine. He masters the skills of making one feel safe so that you can talk about what you thought would be unspeakable. He only accepts a limited amount of clients. Praise yourself lucky if you are on his list. He is a perfect mix of expertise, caring attitude and warm interpersonal skills.
An amazing therapist. I now feel like a totally different person to where I was few months ago. Highly recommend!
Dmitri has been an amazing therapist to talk to. He helped me to discover vulnerability and how to navigate my feelings and emotions that I had pushed down for so long. He has provided me with so many resources that I can go back to if I’m struggling or if I need to remind myself about strategies to use. Very professional and always listens to what I’m saying while making it easy to open up.
Enjoy our sessions
Dmitri has been an invaluable help. I have seen a tremendous improvement in my life, specifically in my relationships and understanding myself and my emotions. I highly recommend Dmitri.
Dmitri has been so good for the 2/3 weeks I’ve used this app he’s gave me very useful work sheets took in my story and offered support, better help has been amazing so far and is helping and working still a long way to go but I feel with Dmitri and better help I can get through this.
Dmitri has been an invaluable source of support and guidance throughout my journey. From navigating the complexities of parenting to overcoming challenges in the workplace and coping with grief, Dmitri has been an unwavering pillar of strength and insight.
I am left wondering how he is so excellent in what he does. Incites curiosity and passion for life and humanity. He is approachable and takes time to really listen. Love the guy! Dmitri, thanks for being a wonderful human and an excellent therapist.

Dmitri Shirobokov is an outstanding professional that possesses extensive experience and knowledge in Therapy and Counseling in different areas and is able to adjust his methods to the person he is helping with his excellent listening skills and empathy.

Dmitri is an educated individual. He is timely, compassionate, still motivated to learn, and most importantly a skilled therapist. I could not recommend him more.
Sessions with Dmitri were very pleasant. He has helped me understand myself better and be more confident in myself and who I am. My beliefs were challenged and as a result I've learned something new and reaffirmed some of my beliefs. I feel like I've figured out what I need to do going forward and I have Dmitri to thank for that.
Dmitri is a great listener, although it comes with the job itself his way of listening and conversing with you puts yourself at ease. It feels like most of my stress melts away and a session is always appreciated
I'm so grateful for the time I've had with Dmitri, I feel like no second was wasted with him, we always maintained a great rhythm and went straight to the point with my issues which helped me a lot to make quick progress. I feel much better now than before I started doing therapy with Dmitri and I wouldn't have it any other way.
He is willing to stay up all hours of the day to communicate with me, and super easy to coordinate our schedules to video call.
Dmitri is an emphatetic and highly professional counselor. He has helped me understand my own emotions and cognitive processes better and equipped me with some practical tools. Recommended!
Great Therapist, and goes above and beyond to help you wherever possible. The lessons are just a small part of the teaching he gives! It's only been two sessions but he pushes me to be better every day and you would be lucky to have him!
Dmitri is a very good therapist and has helped me a lot. He has helped me become more self aware which in turn has made me better in managing my problems in a more proactive way. Very easy to talk to and has shown a very good understanding of the issues I had and with his help I managed to get myself out of the dark place I was in. Could not ask for a better therapist.
Great therapist
First two sessions went well with Dmitri, unfortunately he went sick after the two sessions - not great!
Things are going well and Dmitri is easy to talk to and easy to get along with. I’m feeling positive with how it’s going thus far.
