He was very attentive and understanding. He helped me work thru a great deal of the struggle I've felt in a relatively short amount of time; he was a great listener, none-judgmental, and wise. Would 10/10 recommend him.

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.

I enjoyed my therapy sessions with Dr. Thomas. He is honest, insightful and empathetic. His tools and exercises helped me cultivate a more positive and confident approach to life. He holds a safe space to talk about difficult subjects. All the while, he promotes a more present and future oriented mindset which has been a game changer for my anxiety and rumination. I would highly recommend him!
